The Top 5 Things I Learned Last Year. Number 4

People will constantly surprise you, be open to them and curious.

I moved to London at the end of 2022 a place where I had few contacts and friends but since moving I have been surprised and overjoyed by how people have been willing to connect and build friendships.

Several people came completely out of the blue and required me to suspend beliefs and also be open and transparent.

I have found that being prepared to be open and curious about people, invest some energy in getting to know them and not create pressure has been very valuable.

In life we often rush for results, pushing customers for a sale, pressuring ourselves for a dream lifestyle and creating tension.

Curiosity to understand people can reveal hidden depths and opportunities.

Difficult customers can become loyal advocates if you can invest patience in learning what they need.
