The Subtle Art of Building Connections and Maintaining Them in Life
Hi, dear Steemians!
Today, I will share with you one of the most important mindsets in the world of business which will inevitably result in your much-awaited success.
It is simple math and calculations; you want to earn wealth, and you need to interact with people in order to do that.
The stronger your ability to make connections and maintain them, the greater your odds of finding your breakthrough.
This is what I like to call the Subtle Art of Building Connections.
The thing about having the right connections is the clever mechanism that our world thrives upon and some people have understood how to utilize this perfectly over the years.
Imagine that you one day found yourself at the right spot in the right time. You get to meet someone who may be influential, maybe in business, maybe in politics, maybe in both.
The person is not going to offer you your breakthrough or success. But for things to work in society, people of influence or power need other people to work for them. That is where you come in.
That person might someday find himself in need of a marketer, a writer, or someone with another discernible skill or talent. He may need them for himself, or he may want to introduce them to other people for work.
Either way, the person in question has found success merely by connecting with that particular person.
Some of you might think that this is all a work of chance. But trust me, building connections can be done consciously. You should seek out people and befriend them at every possible opportunity.
Building connections may not be fruitful at first. You may get to know someone, but that does not mean you are going to achieve success. It may be months or years before this connection turns out to be beneficial to you.
Which brings us to the second point of this blog post: You should try to maintain your connections with whatever opportunity that presents itself.
For example, if you are in holiday season, send a card to the person whose trust and connection is valuable to you.
In this way, you will not slip away from their mind and that increases your chances of successful collaboration.
This is not same lazy idea that compels you to forsake your endeavors and work on building connections with other people. Rather, you should become more conscious of who you come in contact with.
This way, you will try to lever things to your advantage and win the pinnacle of social interactions, which is basically to get things done.
Do not underestimate your connections and do not lose touch with them!
Actively seek out new people of influence or power and see if you can help them in their social or professional endeavors!
A BIG HUG!!!

Building connections may not be fruitful at first. You may get to know someone, but that does not mean you are going to achieve success. It may be months or years before this connection turns out to be beneficial to you.
Tim Ferriss talks about this sometimes - he says that when you connect with someone much more successful than yourself, you should try and touch base with them only once per 6 months or so. It can be years and years before a relationship blooms, but patience will win -- and of course, not all of these "connections" can or should go anywhere. Only a few will.
This mindset is something I probably need to give more attention to, especially for my business. Networking with others in ones area of business can help to grow through meaningful connections. If I would have put as much time into building connections for my business as I have put into my music and this platform, I would have more work. Thanks for this tip it has got me thinking🙏

People underestimate the power of what are called "weak ties" -- those outside your close circle of friends and associates, but they are the very ones who can provide opportunities that your inner circle typically cannot, as well as a new, refreshing perspective at times. Thanks for writing, and I wish to be part of this community!
Building connections takes communication skills and a certain level of charisma that allows one make people comfortable around them, this I feel is crucial to networking and business. Often this is where people struggle, because you also need to have the courage, along with the intelect to speak at the most opportune time when the information you have is of most value. Sometimes this can be the downfall of ones endevors because they fail to execute the correct timing, in fact its proven that timing may be even more important then the product/information you have, even if the product/information is genius.

It is always good to maintain connections, not only because you can get an additional benefit, but it is good to surround yourself and maintain connection with people who make your life more enjoyable.
As for connections with influential people, they really are important and you have to take care of those connections. Those connections are really the ones that arrive at the right moment and we should always be grateful that they have appeared in our lives ...
I take the opportunity to thank you for appearing in mine. Thank you.
God bless you!
hi Legend Hero @chbartist
Sea of information
happy to see that your Post in the Top :)
Hello @chbartist!
The environment gives us material to grow, to improve. The contribution can be through important information, or simply the support of a friend at the right time. To be able to count on the help you must have the source of this, a network of contacts, friends, acquaintances, with whom you can count for a moment of need As some say, we must create a support account in the favors bank, where at the appropriate time we deposit a favor, and when help is required, we can ask for a favor, with the guarantee that this will not be denied since we are Participants of the support system.The meaning to life is relationships. Happy Friday.
My dad always advises me to maintain good connections with people because there are some places only connections can reach.
Sometimes we just have to reach out to people, text them, send them gifts overtime instead of ambushing them with our needs out of the blues
