A lot of times people start their own small business might understand technology really well. They might know to use Internet fax instead of an old-fashioned fax machine. They might now how to make the right purchases that save them money. They might understand the best software to use for their business purposes. But they may really struggle at working with other people.

But there is perhaps no greater skill needed for an entrepreneur than working with other individuals. Carlolyn Kepcher, the former board member from Donald Trump’s “The Apprentice” says:

“Relationships are everything. No matter who you speak to, who you worked for, who worked for you — it is imperative that you don’t burn bridges . . . you never know when you may need to reach out to someone from your past.”

But you might say to me, “Wade, I’m not good at this.” My response: “Get good at it.”

Being good with people doesn’t require you to be a dynamic sales manager type. You just need to care for people, be sensitive to other people’s feelings, and make it a business priority to develop the right business relationships.

Being good at creating business relationships, along with smart and savvy understanding of technology and marketing will make your small business soar. Without attention to people, you’re likely to be very limited in your growth potential.
