Personal Branding Tip 250 · Relationships
Deposit More Than You Withdraw
Before asking anyone for a favor, look at what you have done for them lately. Make a deposit first: an introduction, a share or a referral.
Take It With You
Download the card for a feed, a story or a link, or share it straight from your phone. Please keep the MCG mark on it.
Why It Works
The book treats relationships as capital: help given is a deposit, a favor asked is a withdrawal, so keep the balance positive.
