Build strategic relationships, In today’s world, who we network with matters. The people we associate with can either add value to our lives or take it away. Many times, I have heard people say, ‘ Show me your friends, and I will know what kind of person you are. ‘ The Bible says that if you spend time with the wise, you’ll become wise too. So, by building valuable friendships and relationships, you add value to yourself.

How to develop strategic relationships

1. Add value to yourself

Trust me, anything valuable has high demand. That’s why the great surround themselves with other great people. invest in yourself, develop strategic relationships, keep learning and developing yourself and never get saturated. Read books, always attend seminars of people that challenge your thinking and lifestyle. If you need to go back to school, do it to keep learning. Don’t hold yourself back. You can become valuable instead of feeling valueless.

Have you ever thought about how valuable God is? No mineral can match the value of God. People will spend a lot to gain it. Let’s become so valuable that our worth is like God’s. 

To be successful today, you must create value in your life. Keep that value growing daily. If you’re in business, you’ll attract valuable customers. You’ll also find meaningful friendships and an enriching partner. As you grow, your mindset will transform.

2. refuse to leave a mediocre life 

Never accept anything of less value or no value. Doing so brings shame. Have you heard the saying, “People treat you based on how you dress?” I didn’t think much of it at first. Then I realized it’s true. Many of us ignore this reality. The way you look makes a strong impression. The world will treat you based on your actions. 

Mediocrity will lead to failed friendships. You won’t attract people of value, and you won’t grow. Mediocrity often feels comfortable. You might stay in the same spot without change. But when you see how it impacts your life, work, and relationships, you’ll want to break free. Let’s choose to avoid a mediocre lifestyle and friendships.

3. Strive for excellence

In everything you are doing no matter how small or simple let there be excellence in the Bible. Daniel and his friends led remarkable lives. You can see their distinction in how they lived. 

Daniel never took anything for granted. He put his heart and mind into everything. Because of this, he gained the King’s favour. Even when others tried to bring him down, they couldn’t. Daniel was an upright man with an excellent spirit. When you have an excellent spirit you attract people of substance and great value. When people see value, they become attracted to you and want to associate with you.

You need a new spirit or approach to life. In today’s world, no one wants to be around mediocrity. People seek value so they can add to their own lives. In your business, aim for excellence. Strive for it in your marriage, workplace, and education too. Don’t misunderstand me; I’m not saying to live a fake life or to please others. Instead, live in a way that adds value to others and makes you stand out. 

People rarely want to buy what’s common or low in value. When they shop, they seek items that look distinguished and excellent. We should reflect this desire for excellence in our daily lives. Let’s reject a mediocre lifestyle, even if we can’t afford the most expensive clothes.

Instead, we can create value with what we have. Bring excellence to your business and workplace. Build brands that stand out. Work with a sense of excellence. Be unique and distinguished so that others want to be around you and learn from you.

4. Be your own person

Don’t try to be like others or follow their paths. Instead, pursue your God-given destiny and purpose. You need to accept that we are all different. God has given us unique gifts. So, don’t compare your path to your friend’s or neighbor’s.

Many of us struggle to build strategic or valuable relationships. Instead of learning from others, we often feel envious and want what they have. We want their results, not the process to get them. be your own person, focus on your own journey and you attract the right people into your life.

Create your own life principles and standards. Don’t compromise to please others. Your true self draws people in, so embrace being different. Be yourself in all you do, especially in friendships and relationships.

5. Take action now

People sometimes fail, not due to a lack of ideas or resources, but because they don’t take action. Dr Miles Munroe once said, “Some people reach the grave without truly living because they didn’t pursue their dreams.”

Don’t let your vision fade away. Act on your dreams and ideas. You don’t need money to start; take action. Then, money will come. Keep in mind, some say, “money follows money.” This isn’t entirely true. What matters is having a clear vision. If you have a vision, money will follow.

The key to making money in life isn’t about capital. It’s about your vision and your readiness to take smart steps. These steps can improve your life and benefit those around you.

conclusion 

To build a strong friendship, marriage, relationship, or business, be strategic and selective. Not everyone qualifies to be your friend or partner. Be aware of where you can create value and receive value in return.

It’s up to us. When we walk with the wise, we gain wisdom and become wise ourselves. When we are with great people, we learn and aim to be great and valuable. The choice is in your hands.
