Don’t Waste Time On Those Who Don’t Appreciate You

Value yourself – it’s a good rule for business relationships, personal relationships, and life in general. People take their cues on how to treat you from – you’ve got it – you. When you value yourself, you’re sending a message to others that that’s how you expect to be treated, and that you won’t settle for less.

But when you’re always apologizing for things that aren’t your fault, or reaching out to someone time and again, you’re sending a completely different message.You’re desperate for them, for their business, and that you need them more than they need you.

Here are some key things to remember when interacting with others, either in a personal or professional setting.

If They Don't Return Your Calls, Don't Keep Calling

This rule works better for your personal life. If you’re always the one doing the dialing, you might want to ask yourself why. You can make all kinds of excuses for someone – they’re busy, they’re important, or they’re forgetful, but the truth is, it takes three minutes to make a phone call.

There are exceptions to this rule. Sometimes, especially if you are getting started in your industry, or in certain lines of work, for example sales. You’ll need to be the one reaching out more. Persistence does pay off sometimes, especially in tough industries like fashion, journalism, acting (really, anything to do with arts, because they are such competitive fields) and anything where you’re an entrepreneur.

If They Can't Be Bothered To Meet Up, Don't Force The Situation

We all have friends and associates like this. You can email, text or call, and have a great relationship that way, but whenever you suggest a face to face meeting, they balk, cancel, or possibly don’t show at all. It’s time to say goodbye to these people. When people don’t want to meet in person, it’s possible that they have something to hide, and you don’t need people like that in your life.

The Truth Is, There Are Plenty Of People Out There Who Would Love Your Company

You may not have met them yet, but there are people out there who would love to be better acquainted with you, or work with you, and be pleased to call you an associate. You are in demand! It’s much better to put your energy towards a relationship that will give back what you put into it.

Its Simple, Stop Wasting Your Time On Those Who Don't Appreciate You

It’s sad, but not all relationships, personal or professional, are meant to last a lifetime. Some partnerships have the purpose of just teaching you a lesson before both parties move on. But don’t be too upset – it’s not a waste of your time as long as you have learned something from it, whether it’s what you want from a next relationship – or what you don’t want.
