Kindness is Currency

Being kind to people can be profitable for your business. Many are familiar with the common statement: "Be nice to people on your way up because you'll meet those same people on the way down."

Ask any entrepreneur and they will agree that you absolutely must be courteous to your potential clients, your existing clients, and your business associates. Doing so will make them naturally want to spend money with you.

Many overlook and undervalue this factor, and call it "old-fashioned". However, it is well-documented that being kind has a conscious and sub-conscious effect that welcomes the right people into your life.

In addition, no one can become successful without the help and support of others. Therefore, it would be in your very best interest to have a group of business associates that will "ally" with you when you need them.

Treat people good, and don't become big-headed and stubborn. Every entrepreneur experiences "down" periods when assistance may be needed. How people respond to you will generally depend on how you responded to them when they were down.
