What Do People Really Want Anyway?
Read More: When it comes to relationships, what is it that people really want from you? How can you as a leader or follower meet the needs of those you touch on a daily basis? Or lets ask it another way. What is it deep down inside that you really want from other people?
I realize people have different needs depending on their personality, their upbringing, their wounds, etc. You can read books about love languages, temperaments, color personalities, dysfunctional families, etc, to help you in relating to others.
But when it comes right down to it, don’t we all want someone to understand us, someone to give us a sympathetic ear when we need it, or someone to believe in us.
What do you think about the following list when it comes to relationships with others?
~People like to feel special, so sincerely compliment them.
~People want a better tomorrow, so show them hope.
~People desire direction, so help them find it.
~People are basically selfish, so speak to their needs first.
~People get low emotionally, so encourage them.
~People want success, so help them get it.
People are not all the same, so it is necessary to treat them as individuals. What speaks to one person is not necessarily going to work for someone else. When thinking about the 4 personality types we know we can’t deal with every one the same way.
But one thing I think we all can agree on is, “People don’t care how much you know until they know how much your care.” ~John C. Maxwell
When it comes to Attraction Marketing, I’m sure we all have incidents we could tell about when someone’s concern for us, or lack of it, helped us make decisions. We all love stories, so if you have one, please share.
Brighten someone's day today!

When I Read this It Touched My Heart
In our Day and Age of Business. We can get isolated and when we do that we become negitive and Lonely. But the Best Medicine is actually Reaching out and being around People who Care.
So I would Agree Everyone needs The kind of Support you Suggested.
And when you give them that Support and Hope that makes you a Leader.
Lead on

Quick Story
Thanks Lynn,
I had an oppertunity this morning. A client in my brick and morter buis. had a proplem which I personally could not solve, however I knew someone who could. I gave her the name of the Co. and the contact persons name.
She was very thankfull and I built a trusting relationship just like that. She said she will be happy to do buis. w/me knowing I care about people.
It really is that easy, I am having fun reading people and getting to know their personallity types.
Thanks again for a wonderfull topic
Much success
Greg
I do agree but...
Hi Lynn i agree with what you talking about, there is only one thing I would like to say about selfish. I dont think that belongs in a relationship, I know from experience having lived with one, they take all the time, I dont think they can give. If they give it's because you had to ask. I do agree with everything else.
But this is one man opinion, so you might be right all the way.

Your article reminded me of ..
Something I had read in Brian Tracy's book "Maximum Achievement". He called the segment of the chapter "Pass it On" where he speaks about taking responsibility for everything we have done and do. I'm going to paraphrase what he wrote and I hope I can do it justice.
The best way to help someone when they need that sympathetic ear, when they are down in the dumps, when they lack motivation is to ask them a simple question "You are responsible, what are you going to do about it?"
His belief is that we cannot become whatever we are meant to become until we accept full responsiblity for our own actions, thoughts and feelings. To sincerely help someone the question needs to be asked, "You are responsible, what are you going to do about it?" It takes the focus off what cannot be changed (the past - immediate or long term) and directs the person to the future and what can be done now.
Of course, there will be people who love to revel in their misery and that question will not have any kind of impact at all. Those are the ones we need to distance ourselves from. The ones who want to become a whole person, one worthy of success, one who desires the best life has to offer, will stop, reflect and grow from sharing that one question with them.
To your success,
