Make 2010 Your Financial Breakthrough Year!
I’m a successful writer.
My mother says so, and I’ve learned (the hard way) that you can’t argue with my mother. Or you experience grave consequences.
What are the most important skills of my success as a writer?
Two essential skills:
1. My Writing Skills
2. My Relationship Skills
If I only had Writing Skills but no Relationship Skills, my success would be isolated to writing. Or it would be a short-lived success.
I didn’t ask a publisher to publish my books, but even if I did—I still would have needed relationship skills. Why? A big publisher receives thousands of manuscripts from would-be authors every year. How will they pick 50 books to publish from that mountain of books? Answer: Relationship.
Unless of course you’ve got exceptional writing skills. Perhaps the publisher will notice the needle in the haystack. But if all the manuscripts look the same, the publisher will do business with someone he knows. That’s the rule of sales: The customer will buy from a friend rather than from a stranger.
How do you move from “stranger status” to “friend status”?
Remember that as a writer, you’re not just a writer.
You’re also a salesman.
Everyone is. And salesmen don’t sell stuff. They sell themselves first.
As a writer, I took the more difficult route of building a publishing company.
And making that company publish my books.
That meant working with an enormous number of people. We had to hire staff (50+ now), set-up distribution channels, buy vehicles, etc. Being a non-profit organization, we don’t have much profit to show. We do sell P75M worth of books and magazines each year, but with almost zero net profits because we give it all away. Our real profit is the changed lives of our readers. Again—it was relationship skills that made it all work. Great relationships with staff. Great relationships with suppliers. And great relationships with customers.
But for writers today, the world has changed.
Through the internet, you don’t need a publisher anymore.
You can be a one-man publisher. You can write a blog, make it popular, and build a relationship with your audience. You can give away your first Ebook for free. If it’s any good, it will spread virally. People will get to know you, email you, flag you, ping you, forward you, etcetera. And when you feel that your relationship with your readers is strong, you can start selling them an Ebook or a printed book. (How? Print it yourself or work with print-on-demand publishers).
Did you notice? It’s relationship skills again—even if it’s all digital.
My Wealthiest Mentors Are Powerful Relationship Builders
My Mentor—who’s a Billionaire—has the most incredible relationships skills I’ve ever seen. His days are filled with lunches with the key people in his businesses: (1) partners, (2) employees, (3) suppliers, (4) regulators, and (5) customers.
Oh, he has lunches with me too. I don’t fall in any of those 5 categories, but that’s just the kind of guy he is. Whenever I ask him if he’s free for lunch, his standard answer is, “I’m always free. I’m not doing anything.” Haha.
He told me a fascinating story. Whenever he sees one of his customers in a restaurant, he’ll secretly pay for their bill. (He sells office furniture, so these “customers” were the guys in the purchasing department of various companies.) That was his way of thanking them for doing business with him.
One day, he saw a guy who did business with him years ago. He paid for his bill. It was P2T. The guy “caught” him in the act and they started talking. He also mentioned that he had transferred to another company.
Two weeks later, this guy called up my Mentor. His new company needed office furniture. My Mentor sold them P150M worth of stuff! Not bad for a P2T investment, right?
Of course, my Mentor has the reputation of being the best in his industry. His products are top-of-the-line but their after-sales service is even better.
His character—plus the ability to connect—made him a billionaire.
It’s your turn.
Many of you aren’t increasing your wealth because you’re not increasing your relationship skills. Increase your wealth by increasing your ability to build relationships.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year in advance, Brother Bo Thank you very much, because of your blogs specially when it comes to financial matters i really learned alot and still learning, Can you be my MENTOR? Please Please Please?
I signed-up for the Truly Rich Club Membership last week…and I’m excited to know more all the things you have for us….I also do pray that 2010 will be a GREAT year for me and my family…in all areas of our lives…Thanks Bro. Bo for being a blessing to all of us.
Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year to you and Your family.
Happy New Year to you Bro.Bo, yes I want my 2010 my breakthrough year. That is why I am now a happy member of your truly rich club, and it is a big blessing for me not only spiritually but financially. Thanks bro. Bo, you are truly rich.
Amen to what you declared and I receive it in Jesus’ Holy Name
May the good Lord enrich you so you can continue to be a blessing to others. Have a blessings-filled 2010, Bro. Bo!
Well said, bro Bo! Relationships are very important.
I also realized this while trying to earn a promotion at work. Even though I thought I was doing great and deserved a promotion that time, my written self-evaluation was not able to deliver that message across and wasn’t able to give me what I wanted.
Only when I made an effort to build relationships with my team mates and my supervisors did they notice how I am contributing to the success of the team.
And after about a year, I finally got what I wanted…and more, as I now have more friends and continue to enjoy building those relationships.
More power and God bless!
Hello Brother Bo,
I normally don’t react to any of your blogs - not that they’re worth reacting to, I just choose to absorb everything you write down.
But for this one, I felt compelled to write a short reaction. You see, I am a very soft-spoken person. I have moved up the corporate ladder and currently working on my relationship skills - not an easy task for people who were created by the Lord to be soft-spoken.
How can people like me hone their relationship skills better? I am a manager, and building relationships with my people is a must. However, I am not comfortable doing this on occasion. I feel like a hypocrite.
Hi Brother Bo,
Like many others,i found your words very enriching, spiritually.financially and emotionally…I want to join the TrulyRichClub but i’m overseas for now to save some and make a start back in the Philippines when i finish my contract here after two years.Is there a way that the club can support through this….
God bless u more

Our daughter, Stephanie Harries, purchased your book, How To Live A Life of Miracles, in Subic Bay last year. She was serving in the US Navy. Her ship did humanitarian missions in the Pacific. Her mother, Maggie wrote a book entitled, Perhaps In God’s Lifetime, which is available on her website, Amazon.com, and others. She was hit by a car at the age of 3 and died. God saw fit to raise her up, heal her completely, and give her a mission. She has designed a working model for the solution of homelessness within her book. We are raising funds to carry out her plan to make that model a reality. Maggie really enjoyed reading your book. You are a hero for your country! We would love to hear from yoju! John and Maggie
Hi,
I am a book author who wanted to reach the hearts of many people to help ease their problems. I have written a book which was recently published last October 10, 2010.
It is my intention to use it to help individuals develop better minds so that they can best be used in the service of their nation or to the remotest parts of the world. And in some sense, to awaken people to a new way of thinking about what it is to be human and what it takes to make life and work more rewarding and fulfilling.
You can check at the book’s static website below for your perusal:
http://amazingarchipelago.webs.com/
Good intentions are not enough, they must be taken into action and least be implemented.
Thank you for your time and hoping that I can fulfill my mission in my lifetime.
You’re right. You’ve got to be different by adding relationship skills to talent. That’s absolutely in order. But I really want to ask some personal questions about a book I just authored. Please let me have your personal email. I’ve already subscribed to your team. Thanks
Bo,
We am thrilled to see my book, PERHAPS IN GOD’S LIFETIME mentioned on your website, and thank you for the kind comments. God bless your efforts. You mentioned raising funds to bring our plan for ending homelessness.. Love your enthusiasm and would love to hear more about that, for sure. You are my hero for having a mission of your own. We wish for homelessness to end and are working toward that end, but only in the planning stages at the moment.
