It’s basic sense that if you want to connect with someone, figure out what they want and then help them get it.
Even ol’ Zig Ziglar has said that you can have everything you want in life if you help enough others get what they want.
What I see many forget when they make a connection is they don’t ask for anything in return.
Specifically, they don’t ask for a connection with someone else.
It may be selfish to ask for information or a physical item, but a connection is a gift to both the giver and the receiver.
Think about the last time you introduced a friend to another friend. Did you feel ripped off? That you were doing them a favor? Or did you feel like you did something special? That it was a win-win situation?
One last reflection on the topic: If I were a betting man, I’d bet that you and anyone you’ve talked to in your life has considered becoming a teacher at some point. Inherently there’s a passion inside of us all to want to help another. It just so turns out that making a connection is a selfless and positively selfish way to do it.
