Relationship – The Marlon Brando Tool for Success

relationshipYou must be wondering why I have used Marlon Brando in my title, the reason, he is considered to be the greatest movie actor of all time – and I feel building relationship is the greatest evergreen way and is the ONLY way to Success. I am assuming you have landed on this post – Surely you are looking for success and striving for that, exceptions apart.

But Please don’t expect Relationship to build overnight, it takes effort and also takes toll of your time and energy but I know it is worth investing your time and energy and Trust is the building block of any relationship. Only thing that really Matters is CONSISTENCY in maintaining the trust.

So let’s have a Q & A session on relationship

Is this the Right Time to Build Relationship?

I have always believed that personal relationships are really important, it’s more important than Career as well, build on those relationship, so issue of right timing never arises. When you feel the urge you can start and in your subconscious mind you have already started that. You have started building relationship the day you started recognizing your parents, further it depends on the way you are conditioned by your parents and by the people around you. I was conditioned in a way that I remained introvert, but really blogging has helped me in kicking out my introvert side.

Are you looking for major crises to happen to start building the relationship, Come on …..START NOW. It’s similar to trusting God equally in Good and Bad times. Relationships built in Good times will surely help you in your worst times as well.

How to Build True and Robust Relationship

Help Other When They Really Need It- and they will surely oblige, they will remember you for very long time and this way you have surely laid the platform for robust relationship, my relationship with Adrienne and Michael Belk are great examples of that. They helped me when it was really required, it has paved the way for trust and now we can always build on this.

Reciprocate well – Some of the people I feel are not good at this, even if you help them they won’t reciprocate, so for those people I would say, either they have not understood You or they feel that they are above everyone and they don’t require any Further assistance ever. They don’t seem to be interested in theory of building relationship or they don’t believe into that. But minimum thank you what is expected from everyone, if that is also not there, I would say don’t waste your time and MOVE ON.

Listen others with open ears – At time we don’t feel like listening to other person with great attention and we miss that important details and he feels that he is being misunderstood, which is the reality and error of judgment on our part which can really overthrow the foundation of trust, so for JESUS sake, listen attentively.

Try to know the Person in detail – This part is really ignored by many of us because of lack of time or the desire, can be because of attitude as well. You need to research the person, there should some reason for building the relationship and lay the foundation of trust.

Law of averages applies here also, after working on building relationship some won’t be  as successful as others will be, so don’t expect too much as one of post depicts that.

In the end I would say We are here to Win many Hearts……So why not start that now

Over to you:

How do you like of idea of building relationship and have I missed anything? you are most welcome to share those in comments.

Thank you for reading this.

  1. Great advice on building relationships Sapna. Relationships are a term many people get confused about. Especially in business relationships are the difference in closing a deal or eating beans.

    In blogging it has the same importance, as bloggers we most times do not get to meet our readers, but words are powerful.

    You can express yourself in words. It is important to remember the different cultures. Because your words could have a different meaning.

    I will tell you a funny example, Chevrolet made a car called Nova, that was a good name in America, but in Spanish Nova translates to “No go”. :)

    • Hi Justin

      Welcome to my blog. Yes this is the habit which has to be cultivated overtime, very rightly said. I have seen people working on relationship when they are really in dire straits, it is the same worshiping God in bad times.
      If they would have done in Good times as well, bad times would not have lasted very long.

  4. Hi Sapna,

    I’ve always been a people person so relationships have never been an issue for me but I can see where some people would have issues with that.

    I had a long-time friend want to do something different with his life. He has a very physical job and it’s really wearing on his body. There will be a time be can’t do it anymore so he really wanted to try something different. Since I came online he thought I could help him and I could but the problem with him is he didn’t want to deal with people. Let’s face it, we all know there are people that aren’t willing to take that extra step or want to build that relationship with you like you suggested here. He’s had a rough life and dealt with a lot of really horrible people so that’s where his mindset was.

    I always tell people at the end of your life what do you want around you? People or things? Not that everyone has to be your best friend but any kind of friend comes in pretty darn handy over time. So let’s start building those relationships people. Trust me, like Sapna here, you won’t regret it.

    Thanks for sharing this awesome post. Hope you enjoy the rest of your week too!

    • Hi Adrienne

      You are the source of inspiration for everyone. You are a GURU in that and it has been really proved for everyone to see. Relationship which you are building is going to remain for ever.

      There are horrible people and it is very difficult to get rid of their horrible stature. I just avoid them and move on. They will soon realize that they are going to be BIG LOSERS.

      For me personally, RELATIONSHIP IS EVERYTHING.I value them and will always build on them.

      Thanks for stopping by and adding value.

  5. Too many people start relationship building expecting too much in return.

    The whole purpose is to align yourself with people that align with your value system. Treat them well and build a friendship whether it be personal or business.

    Focus on helping someone and stay unattached to the outcome of where it might go.

    I enjoy posts like these because it talks about what’s most important. Thank you for writing it

    • Hi Steve

      Welcome to my blog.I firmly believe that people who start relationship with huge expectations, mostly fall on their faces. Relationship is more about giving and forgiving.

      Also If the person does not adhere to MY value system, I won’t move ahead with him or her.

      Steve relationship is all about GIVE and TAKE, it cannot be one way street and this is pragmatic way of looking at this but problem comes when people start expecting unrealistic things and when they don’t get that, they break up or break out, Isn’t it?

      Thanks for stopping by and for your sharing your thoughts.

      Thanks

  6. Hi, Sapna,

    Human relationships are not easy to grasp. I agree that it is all about giving and forgiving. On the other hand, if you are only giving, you can easily deplete your energy. I think that we have to keep our relations balance sheet in check. Have you noticed, that when you give, the receiver of your gift is grateful at the moment, but later this feeling fades away. The giver feels the opposite – with time the value of the gift increases.
    I suggest that we all keep the balance – it is the key. Thank you for the great post!

    • HI Margarita

      Very rightly said, building relationship is the difficult part, and sustaining that is the hardest. The saddest part is that most people don’t in fact build on this, they don’t believe in trying for that matter.
      Relationship cannot be related to only GIVING, the giver always expects but he should not expect the moon. He has to keep the focus on building on that, if the response is poor, he should ignore and move on.
      Here balance is the key and I fully subscribe to your view point.

      Thanks for stopping by and adding your suggestions.

      Thanks

But surely they will soon realize, that relationship matters.

  8. Well said Sapna,
    Building relationship with people is one thing that should not be neglected both online and offline, the more you build that relationship, the more they will grow to like and trust you which is very priceless.

    There is a saying that goes…….You’ll get whatever you want in life if you can help enough other people get what they want.

    Thanks for sharing Sapna, really enjoyed it.

  9. Hi Sapna,
    So glad that blogging has helped you become less of an introvert. Sometimes we have to step outside our comfort zone in order to build the relationships you discuss building and that is the first step to building relationships. You are building the relationship by reaching out and blogging. You are also building relationships when we leave comments and develop a rapport with people. As I read your blog, I liked your energy. That may sound funny since I reading something you wrote, but real people persons get a feel for the person. You seem like a gentle spirit who is willing to reach out and help others. I like that.

    You’ve given great advice for all. Great job.

    Blogging is a great thing, isn’t it? In your case it helped your introverted personality to come out and that’s really fantastic.

    Building relationships is everything in life. No one is an island, and we need relationships to thrive.

  11. Hi Sapna,
    In this stage of the blogosphere, it is very important we form strong relationships that should more than ever. Without relationships, our blog may just fizzle away into obscurity.

    As we form relationships, it is important we get to the table with something to give. In my eBook, From Start to Awesome: Building an Authority Blog in 7 Days! I recommend a having a buddy network which would be a community in your community.

    In other words, this network would include other bloggers in your stage of development so you can grow together and help each other solve problems as they come.

    That would be a great way to start building strong relationships that would last long time.
