Show Notes

 

Josh Irons (River Avenue Digital) leads his colleagues in a discussion about the heart of every entrepreneur’s business: relationships.  How do you form new relationships and what expectations do you have for them?  When and how you can walk away from a business relationship? How do you protect your time and energy while also finding opportunities for support and professional growth?

 

00:35 Josh introduces the episode

02:50 Alisa talks about making connections and looking for value in a new relationship, not just generating your next lead.

04:30 Sometimes a relationship runs its course and is no longer beneficial for one or both parties.  Jason talks about trusting your gut and moving on.

06:35 Ayesha admits that she will sometimes drift away from folks in her network.  The group talks about “ghosting” techniques and when it’s ok to use them.

10:15 What is the best way to approach a new business relationship or group membership?  How do you invest for the “long haul”?

13:10 Boss Moves of the Week!

Quotes:

Relationships are all we have at the end of the day, so we have to make sure that we're creating lasting, strong relationships.

            Josh Irons, River Avenue Digital

 

You really have to be protective of the amount of time you're spending on some venture, you have to be smart about, are the people in the room, the types of relationships you want to develop it?

            Ayesha Hamilton, Hamilton Law

 

Since the pandemic, I am not as open as I was. I used to spend a lot of time with a lot of people, and I've really cut back on that because I realize that time is precious.

            Alisa McCabe, First Steps Financial

 

…business or not, this is worth spending [time]…. because I'm just going to get a pep talk from being around other people who really want to grow their business and are prepared to put in the time to do it, and I get a lift out of that.

            Jason Meyer, Meyer Business Law
