A place that has been our home for the past 3 years but will no longer be a month from now (if you read our last post , we’re packing up our things and moving to Portugal this fall and becoming full-time nomads again). In today’s post, I wanted to write about something I’ve been thinking about lately— how to build relationships with amazing people (or as the great Dale Carnegie said it, How to Win Friends and Influence People ). This topic has been on my mind for a while and I wanted to write about it for a few reasons. 1. I’ve been told this is my biggest skill in business. A while back I asked my friend Joel what he felt I was best at and he said building genuine relationships with people. I would have to agree. Making friends with new people and building relationships and community has been relatively intuitive for me. I’ve never really overthought this or met someone and tried to persuade them to be my friend (minus maybe when dating Alyssa, but that’s a story for another time). That being said, I recently sat down and tried to connect some of the dots around what has led to some of the relationships in my life. This leads me to reason number 2… 2. I want to share what has worked for me (and what hasn’t) when it comes to building relationships. Will try to be as specific as possible in this email. 3. An amazing network of people will make all the difference in your life . In the same vein as your health, it permeates everything you do. The people closest to you in your life will be a balloon or weight, a source of encouragement or annoyance, and even impact what food you put in your body and how often you exercise. Why would you not want to build the best community to surround yourself with? Many of these ideas are not original or new. I won’t claim to be the expert. I’ve soaked them up from books or learned them from others. But they still are powerful. So, without further ado, here are some ideas and strategies that have been incredibly helpful for me when it comes to making and building friendships with amazing people. How to become friends with amazing people. 1. Want nothing from people when meeting them. A big change happened for me in 2014. Alyssa and I were going to a conference called World Domination Summit. At the time, we were two broke newlyweds filming a documentary, deep in student debt, and blissfully excited to be traveling the country on our honeymoon. Unlike the conferences I’d attended at my previous software sales job, this time I had nothing to sell. We weren’t attending to “get leads” or “network”.
