I have to share this message I received from Ken McElroy in his newsletter.
I think it’s very pertinent to the times we’re living in and I had to share in my blog.
He is a Rich Dad Advisor for Robert Kiyosaki and is one of the smartest real estate and entrepreneurial minds that I know.
He often shares things that are real estate or business related.
Today he shared something even more profound.
When you find people that are very good at something you would be smart to study them and observe what they do.
One of the greatest benefits of the lockdowns is that it forced many of the smartest minds in the world on to the internet.
Ken was one of those people. Someone who rarely showed his face or made any content.
Now there are hundreds and thousands of people like him that are now available to learn from.
Enjoy!

From Ken McElroy -
In today’s society, I have noticed people don’t value relationships like they used to. People hop from job to job, they stop talking to friends, and even family members. They are so self-absorbed that they don’t really think about the importance of the relationships they have in their life. They want to get from point A to point B, but they don’t stop and think about who helped them get there.
The most successful people I know value and cherish relationships. Relationships are important. Whether in business, personal, or likewise. Business relationships bring opportunity and the relationship you choose to have with your friends and family can bring happiness.
Throughout my life, I have leveraged the relationships I have built. In fact, I was hired on my first job as a property manager with no experience through a friend of mine. He worked for someone who needed a property manager and referred me. He referred me because we had a good relationship and I was a good. I then did a great job as a property manager and leveraged my relationship with my boss to get a better job. I have done this my whole life. I built my career as a young man who didn’t have a dime in my pocket to where I am now by valuing the people I have met. Some have helped me and others I have helped. It works both ways.
Value the relationships you have. Whether in business or in your personal life. These relationships will bring you happiness and opportunities. Don’t ever burn a bridge, because burning bridges will get you stuck while building and repairing bridges will always lead to further growth.

This was too good not to share.
My parents alway told me not to burn bridges and to do the right thing and it has served me very well in my life in getting to the highest levels.
Business and life doesn't have to be cutthroat if you don’t want it to be.
You make life what you want it to be.
I hope you found something from this as it resonated with me and reinforced for me the importance of slowing down and taking a breath to understand what is TRULY important around me.
Stay strong.
