We live in a world that is connected more than ever before. We can instantly connect via video with someone on the other side of the planet. Yet ironically, we often feel isolated and crave authentic connection. On this episode, entrepreneur, executive coach, and author of The Ripple Effect, Steve Harper joins host Greg Stephens to deep dive into why relationships are central to our success.
They discuss the power of tools and data in improving human behavior, why relationships trump prospects in sales, and how to be more authentic in life and business.
Key Takeaways
People are almost always the cause for all problems. Ego. Flakiness. Fear. Use tools and data to measure and improve behavior.
Relationships are central to your success in life and in business. From sales to production, they are the vehicle to growth and happiness.
Be authentic in your relationships. We live in a world that is smaller than ever. Instead of just hitting the like button on your favorite social media, reach out and acknowledge how they helped you
