Advice From the Mystery Man

I was having breakfast with a friend this morning at my favorite greasy breakfast spot, the Hermitage Cafe. We were talking about business and were probably too boisterous when another gentleman joined in with our conversations. I'll call him the 'Mystery Man' because he didn't introduce himself and he was dressed to hop on his motorcycle and speed away.

The Mystery Man wanted to comment on how important it was to form relationships with clients. He said that people wanted to do business with people who would take care of them. He spoke against emailing and said that people don't just have conversations anymore.

I took note of this stranger because even from behind his dark sunglasses I could feel his passion for business. He later said that he was retired from insurance sales and just loved doing business. I have no idea how successful he was, but I could tell he was living large.

This brief encounter was a timely event for me as I'm working on deepening my relationships. It affirms to me that people like to work with people who sincerely care for them. The Mystery Man reminded me how much fun it can be to do business and be a part of people's lives.

Let's live large,

Peter
