Giving and Receiving

How often do we beat around the bush about what we want?
Recogniton?
Acknowledgement?
Thanks?
Job?
Sitter?
Doctor?
Volunteer opportunity?
Award?
Sale?
Home?
Recommendation?
Referral?
Date?
Appointment?
Connection?

Most people are willing to help those with whom they have a positive connection. Good relationships, excellent track record and great reputation provide the foundation for helping others and ourselves get what we want. Give first - do more than is expected; provide both responsive and unsolicited assistance to others; model the helpful behavior you'd like to see others deliver. Often, unless we voice our wants and needs others don't know what is important to us. Ask - then be open to what you receive.
