Flipstars Bookclub : Never eat alone Part 1

“Relationships are all there is. Everything in the universe only exists because it is in relationship to everything else. Nothing exists in isolation. We have to stop pretending we are individuals that can go it alone."
—Margaret Wheatley

I want to read more not only for the reason I enjoy it, I also want to know more than yesterday.

I especially enjoy reading self- improvement books about meditation, routines, habits and this time how to connect with people.

"Knowledge is not power…it’s potential power. Execution will trump knowledge any day."
–Tony Robbins

With this quote in mind, I want to make and share my notes with you, in the hope we might even can have a discussion about it. Maybe you have read the book also and you think I missed important points?

I will coin my interpretitions from this book to steemit as it was my main motivation to become a better networker here to pick it up.

I dont know yet, how I want to do this series. If I want to post a recap for every chapter, day or just the whole book but we shall see.

This is chapter 1 for now.

As I think networking is really interesting for all of us on steemit I chose "Never eat alone" as my first book.

I read it in German so quotes might be a little off in the English part.

"I learnt, true networking is looking for possibilities to help others succeed. You have to try to give more then you take."

Dont keep count who upvotes you, with how much %. Reward good content with an upvote and a comment. If you really like it, resteem it.

“Poverty, I realized, wasn’t only a lack of financial resources; it was isolation from the kind of people who could help you make more of yourself.”

As a minnow, you need to work harder and comment better as people with more voting power because your vote dont get as much noticed $ wise.

Your quality of your comment should make up for it, if you want attention.

This goes hand in hand with the first note: consistency is king. Be so kind they cant ignore you but still genuine.

"If you boil down the business world to its core, it comes down to people are selling something to other people"

"Business is a human enterprise, driven and determined by people.”

Even it is fun and all because money is involved steemit is a business. You try to sell me your article and push the upvote button and vice versa.

For the most part, my votes go out to the people I have a "dog" relationship. I am used to them. They usually are nice to me so I want to be nice to them also.

Somewhere down the road I felt we built a connection and I want to support you.
So you get my vote because of our connection, the comments, upvotes and resteems we already shared. Or we have talked in the steem chat. And for the most part I am staying faithful.

I am also a "cat voter"from time to time. I go out and look for fresh food in form of new content somewhere else then in my usual territory and maybe I leave you a dead bird in form of a vote, comment or/and follow as a present but maybe I am also gone for several days and do not care anymore.

In Poker you measure your success through your winrate in big blinds won over 100 hands and take the average. You might have sessions (posts) where you do really good but then there also times you do really bad.

You try to only care about your average winnings.

I think this is also a good approach for steemit and I think you get a better average if you get into dog relationship with your followers.

Dont get me wrong your content is important for that but it is not called content media, it is called social media for a reason.
