How would you like to spend 20 to 30 minutes every day building one new relationship a day that will double, perhaps even triple your income?
I 'm going to toss a new wrinkle into the relationship building game. I want you to think about two words could have dramatic affect on your life and your income.
Those two words are "on purpose."
What do you think might happen if you started creating new relationships on purpose? And what if you attached an immediate dollar amount value to each of those new relationships?
That 's what I did several years ago and my results have been nothing short of amazing. I know it might sound cold and calculating to think like this, but bear with me.
It all started one evening as I was doing an Internet business seminar for a local S.C.O.R.E. chapter. I was talking about how to increase the value of email in your business. I looked down and, by chance, in my materials, I had one of those thousand dollar bill bookmarks you can buy at your local bookstore. Hold

A relationship can greatly affect a person’s motive or values. In “Appointment in Samarra” the merchant and his servant have a good relationship this is shown by the merchant giving his servant a horse to help him “avoid his fate” as well as when the master speaks to death about his servant (Maugham). In “Incident in a Rose Garden” the master spoke to death about threatening the gardener to which death replies that he didn’t threaten the gardener, he only wanted to be shown to his master and says “I take it you are he” allowing the master to learn of his intentions. Some relationships can cause something good to happen. In “I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings Mrs. Flowers relationship with Marguerite helped Marguerite because she was respected for “Just being Marguerite Johnson” and she was given a task by Mrs. Flowers that transformed their relationship into a friendship (Angelou 245). Mrs. Flowers relationship with Momma allowed Momma to ask Mrs. Flowers to give Marguerite a “little talking to” helped Marguerite find her voice (Angelou 245) Other relationships can be destructive and detrimental. Lizabeth and Miss Lottie have a destructive relationship this is made evident by Lizabeth calling Miss Lottie an “old lady witch” and by beheading the marigolds that Miss Lottie Grows (Collier 413).

Depending on the type and strength of a relationship a person’s motive can be easily changed or

For instance, Aronson and Under (1965) asked participants to evaluate a number of different potential relationships. They found that participants preferred relationships that showed the potential for an increase in profit rather than the actual size of the profit. Hence, when making an evaluation of the attractiveness of a potential relationship, an individual’s evaluation may look at longer-term outcomes. This places the central point of profit size in question.
