5. Employ power of positive quitting.

Most of us view quitting as something negative, but it's not. 'Winners never quit,' we're told, when, in reality, winners quit all time: choosing to stop doing things that aren't creating results they desire.

When you quit all things that aren't working for you... When you quit tolerating all negative things that hold you back... You'll create a positive 'charge' in your life as well as well creating space in your life for more positive experiences.

6. Charge into your future! As you recreate this positive force in your life, take big, massive leaps into your future. Be imaginative, bold, and brave! The results may surprise you.

7. Use everything.

You are blessed with a particular set of skills and talents that NO ONE else has. Use every skill and talent to live your life as joyfully and abundantly as possible. Leave this life as Erma Bombeck wished to: 'When I stand before God at end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left and could say, 'I used everything you gave me.''

7. Ask questions.

Go one step further and truly take an interest in what they are talking about. Ask thoughtful questions that draw them out and focus conversation on them.

8. Connect with individuals.

You can speak to, present to, teach, or train large groups, but you can only really connect with individuals in that group. Emphasize this aspect of your communication and build those one-on-one connections.

9. Be willing to compromise.

Meeting new people or working with new people invariably means running into positions, opinions, and practices you don't agree with. If you want to build relationship, expect to compromise from time to time.

10. Treat others as you'd like to be treated.

Just to start. As you get to know each other work hard to treat them like they want to be treated (which may be very different way, indeed).
