Practicing his Platinum Rule sends the other person a distinctly, satisfying message: you actually cared enough to listen and then act upon their feedback. I became a "Practicing Attentive Listener" late in life after my hearing was severely impaired. C'est la vie!..... 'Better Late than Never'. Keep the good stuff coming. Stay well and prosper, Gordie Ivan, Thanks for reminding me to re-read Tony’s Great Book this first week of 2009!

So much so I teamed up with Dr. Alessandra and we applied this concept in all major areras of business. We coauthored a book called The Platinum Rule for Small Business Mastery (amazon.com). It takes the platinum rule to new heights by applying it these concepts in several different areas. If you are not using The Platinum Rule you are missing a great opportunity to remove stress associated with building effective networking relationships and making these relationships most productive.

You need to be adaptable- is the person fast paced or slow paced? What do they like? Are they involved in their communities? Strive to find out things like this and treat them the way THEY want to be treated. Yes, it's some work- but the results will be awesome! So you have 2 choices: spending some time finding out about your referral source and the prospect and starting out on the right foot with the relantionship, or you can assume people like what you like and you'll end up like the Sylvester Stallone film festival- off to a "Rocky" start.
