As a Master of Success, you will be in a powerful position to teach, to help, to defend and to comfort. Others will naturally gravitate to the strength within you. Your success is evident when people are happy to see you and want to spend time with you, so welcome those offering something positive.
Avoid life’s victims, forever re-running the same reel of perceived personal grievances.
Being financially successful, you don’t seek to force change on others but you will have some leverage to influence. Your genuine concern for those willing to help themselves will prove to be a greater tool for building and sustaining solid relationships than a big stick or fat wallet. You accept that you can’t shout loud enough or buy presents big enough to satisfy those who see their self-interest and indulgences different from your grand plan.
You build respect by being tough when you need to be tough and understanding when you need to be flexible.
Be soft. You can be empathetic to others in need. You can be generous and spoil those you love without being an ATM enabling the poor decision makers in your life to continue making poor decisions.
Be hard. To master your relationships, you seek to do what is right and not just what is easy. Disciplining children, firing employees, stopping hateful conversations, standing for unpopular causes may be difficult but necessary. You can discipline children. You can be fair and a good example to everyone. Some may disapprove, all will notice.
You teach others how to treat you. You create the types of relationships you want. A “Thank you” to a customer can go a long way toward building and maintaining loyalty. At home, a single rose, a handwritten note, an unexpected toy can bond. At work, a word of appreciation, a small raise or a day off can make an employee feel wanted. To a customer, an extra service or a special price can create a positive relationship conducive to repeat business.
