What I’ve Learned from Dumpster Kids, a Buddhist Monk, and Other Wise Teachers - By Keith Ferrazzi

Have you been participating in my "Mini Mission Mondays" on Facebook and Twitter? These are bite-sized outreach ideas that encourage you to interact with your business-critical network on a regular basis. Missions are the foundation of Relationship Masters Academy. This week's mission: Email a business-critical contact who has done something you admire and let them know.

Are you asking yourself whether this is really worth squeezing into your agenda, on what is no doubt a busy day?

Put yourself in the shoes of the recipient. Imagine how you would feel receiving an unprompted email that genuinely compliments your work. Imagine how it might transform your morning, making you just that much more willing to help others, that much more confident, that much more enthusiastic and engaged. (Extra credit: Ask the person if they'll coach you over a coffee on the thing you've noticed they're great at.)

Just that single email could make an entire team's day more productive. Imagine the effect you might have if you sent out such an email every single week.

Am I on to something here? Tell me on the blog - and report back when you've completed your mission.

Warmest,

Keith
