One of the most common mistakes people make when building relationships for career success and revenue growth is treating business contacts differently from personal" friends. Just think for a moment about the people you work with on a professional level who are also close personal friends. Aren't they always more forgiving when you slip up and more helpful when you're in need than new acquaintances are? Of course! I guarantee your work will be easier, more joyful, and more successful if you make more of your business relationships personal.
How to do it? The same way you make genuine friends and build trust through intimacy; show them that besides being professional, you're human. Skip the small talk and go deep into what really matters--your dreams or fears, your children or the business issues that keep you up at night. Even better, have new clients and contacts and spend time with you and your family and friends.
