How to Build Strong Relationships in Business for Long Term Success

Good relationships that you can trust are the core of all great businesses.

Over the past several days I've been assisting a friend of mine in their first real business negotiation. Now, if you've never done this, it is an art form, pure and simple.

You see, first starts the dance; the connection, however it is made, leading at least into an initial mutual interest in the potential of working together. Then comes the research, where each party digs deeper into each other's activities, exploring how some kind of collaboration or partnership might be possible. This is then followed of course by a discussion if there is still mutual interest to move forward from both parties, and then finally comes the close (really truly the opening), which is the process of putting these ideas to paper and both parties signing off, beginning the new business relationship and partnership.

How to Build Strong Relationships in Business - Chad McMillan

Mastering the art of negotiation, or trustworthy relationship building, with a spirit and intention to long term and strong business partnerships no matter what you do is a critical skill in your trailblazing entrepreneur's toolkit.

Truly, this topic alone could be (and might soon be) its own course, (and I may come back to elements of it regularly) because once you master this process you will open huge doors for yourself with vast wealth creation potential; you will become a dealmaker, fully capable of crafting your own business partnerships with ease as you simply go about your day.

Improve Mental Health & Wellness

Improving our mental health can have profound and lasting impacts on our lives, the lives of those around us, and our communities. In Canada, it is estimated that 20% of Canadians experience problems with their mental health in any given year, and half of the population has faced some level of mental health issues by the time they turn 40. In this post I share tips and strategies that I've used over the years to improve my own mental health, which I feel may help you on your journey as well.
