We work hard to build relationships and we do, but if can't somehow add the steel rebar reinforcement of how we can help people professionally, demonstrate our value, skills, talents, etc., then we're gonna miss out. It's a journey not an event. Cheers Russel. Doug - I feel you. I routinely come unglued. When I do, I try not to drag others into my pissed off vortex. After I hit the rest button, I focus on what I CAN do, and I do it the best I can. I'm always on the look our for the new little jewel that will deepen, thicken and sweeten my value proposition and people's remembrance of me. The hard part is doing it with a whisper, not a shout. Keep the faith Doug! Joe L. I'm thinking your comment is more succinct than my soupy ramble. It's exactly like that. Thanks. Russel – It’s no picnic.

Then it hits you - when's the last time you spoke about what you do with your immediate sphere? How many times did you ask them for referrals? How many market reports have you given them for your area? When's the last time you gave them a fresh stack of business cards? Earn the trust, be the expert, prove it, don't rest on your laurels (or on laurel's laurels, for that matter). If you're not proud of your trade, get out of it! If you are proud - scream it from the rooftops ! Navy Chief, Navy Pride Ken,
