15 Benefits You Could Receive From Showing That You Care

In order for relationship building to effectively work, you need to care and show an interest in others. You need to be interested in others before you ask them for help.

People will appreciate your nice gesture and it will open up opportunities for you. While you may not see these opportunities immediately, it will happen as you get to know people better.

So, below are 15 benefits that you could experience if you take an interest in others:

1. You could be notified of new job opportunities

2. You could find potential employees

3. You could receive business leads

4. You could receive business introductions / referrals

5. You could find new business partners

6. You could form friendships

7. You could be asked to speak at a business meeting

Is it possible to develop a relationship without 'caring'? For example, I like to solve problems. I even enjoy helping people. But once the problem is solved and the person is helped, I lose interest. There are people for whome I've provided computer support for years at work, but I know very little about them. I'm not interested in their personal life, or their hobbies or their spouse or kids.
If I'm helping someone, its not because I care about them in particular, its becasue it makes me feel good and gives me something interesting to do. Can I build a netowrk like this?
Do others feel this way? Or do I need to see a shrink? :)

Thanks for sharing your perspective. There are people that you will find that you will take an additional interest beyond just business. Yes, you can carry on the way that you do. The challenge is that may not be able to build sustainable and long term relationships if you just see every person as a business transaction. The fact that you do like helping others does show that you care. It is what you do afterwards to maintain the relationship. No, you don't need to see a shrink!

Hey there this is somewhat of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I'm starting a blog soon but have no coding know-how so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello there! Quick question that's entirely off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My blog looks weird when viewing from my apple iphone. I'm trying to find a theme or plugin that might be able to fix this problem. If you have any recommendations, please share. Appreciate it!
