How to Grow in Business and Friendships at the Same Time
In this episode, I discussed the importance of building friendships in business. Having friends keeps you motivated and supports you during tough times. While extroverts may find it easier to make friends, maintaining those connections takes effort.
Business friendships create a positive environment, as I’ve seen at my retreats. I shared three tips for nurturing these relationships: follow up with past connections, invite others to join experiences, and offer support, even in small ways. Ultimately, having a few close friends who share your values enriches your business journey.
