Relationship tool

We were eating dinner last night and were talking about the decline in membership of churches. (We are consultants specializing in ways to bring new life to an organization, repair relationships, and increase growth.) We were discussing a refinement of a tool that repairs and cements relationships that once learned operates transparently in our daily lives. Success is built on relationships. People seem to often build their relationship on the premise that as long as you can do something for me, in other words, have value to me, then we can get along. But as soon as I feel that you have nothing to offer that benefits me, I won't be associating with you. That is not a healthy relationship. What do you think a healthy relationship would look like?

Slowing down

Yesterday I decided to stop and reconsider where I am going in internet marketing. There is way too much too know, and those who know it tend to talk in terms that I know nothing about. Specially the simple things. For example, people tend to use initials. FYI. If you know what it means, great. But if you don't, just try and find out. (FYI: For Your Information.) I joined a forum and wanted to talk privately with a person and ended up communicating with myself. :)
I joined one money making opportunity that looked fantastic. I am still waiting for basic information how to promote and use it. (However, there are others that produce an income flow within a few days.) So now I am going at my pace. I won't be reaching the top by next week. But I will be further along. There are just way too many opportunites available, so I am choosing one at a time, master it, and then do another. I only started a few months ago, and the urgency generated had me feeling I had to do "this" now, and all it resulted in was detracting me from my goal, which is to generate a livable source of income independent of recommended retirement plans, i.e. 401k's, stocks, job, etc. So now I am on a slower track to success.
