Are you building on every past and present business relationships

Are you building on every past and present business relationships 

The moment we hit the business world upon leaving school, we are meant to building social equity all the way through our journey.

Knowing this motivates us to work in a particular way; consciously, working for more than we get, whether it is an employment or a contractual obligations as a business owner, always striving to over deliver on expectations.

In my years of employment, I saw quite a number of employees come to work on Friday; graduates of higher institution, work normally as if everything is cool and never showed up the next Monday, having joined another firm. 

The attitude leaves the previous employer scrabbling to fill the sudden gap created by the exit of the employee with lots of pain. On my last employment,I gave 6months, the minimum for confirm employment being 2weeks, giving room for a handing over or possible replacement.

This is how such employees burn their past bridges not knowing that such employers may  just be in their future to determine their fate or help them in some ways or be asked by certain prospects to write a letter of recommendation. The world has become a village where people know people and paths cross.

I have moved from one company to another in my years of employment, some were not happy when I indicated I was leaving but all of them will highly recommend me today because I have all their good will. 

If fact,  my second employer recommended me to my fourth and my fourth employer paid for the registration of my Business name. There is no other perfect way to exemplify the enjoyment of goodwill from previous relationship. 

Most of us work for 8 to 10 hours daily in business cycles sometimes extra six hours in traffic. Anyone engaging us cannot fully pay for that 14-16hours, if we have done well. However,  one must keep earning passive and active revenue off the good business relationships built for a lifetime; it actually a leverage to nurture throughout the lifetime.

You should build on every past and present business relationships deliberately.
