“Money makes the world go round!” It’s BS!


VALUE makes the world go round. From Biology, Physics, Chemistry to Entrepreneurship and EVEN Relationships!

Two keys here: VALUE AND NEEDS. :)


This is the essence of successful Entrepreneurship.

You have success when you supply real VALUE to a legit NEED. We all know that here at the Fastlane Forum. This is what creates sales, this is what creates satisfied customers and clients. This is what creates great companies. The orgasm occurs when VALUE AND NEEDS meet and the transaction occurs. :eusa_clap:


So WTF is the point of this? Why am I preaching to choir?

Well I’m here to tell you that the answer to successful Human Relationships is the same as successful Entrepreneurship: VALUE AND NEEDS!!! 😀


Humans provide VALUE in relationships and humans have NEEDS in relationships.

The magic occurs when these two meet. This is how you make friends, clients, boyfriends / girlfriends.

If you are not having success in relationships ask yourself: Am I providing VALUE to a NEED?

But just like Entrepreneurship it’s possible to provide VALUE to a non-existent NEED and to provide no VALUE to an existent NEED.

Here’s an example: The other day my cousin called me crying because she was going through a divorce, her husband is leaving her for another woman. She told me she cleaned, cooked, worked, took care of the kids, made money, had no debt. My cousin was obviously providing VALUE that many men would be really happy with but the problem was that her divorcing husband did not have the NEED for any of this. He was a lady’s man, a one night stand kind of guy, his needs were different.

Another example: The book “how to win friends and influence people” basically shows you basic human needs: The need to feel important and appreciated etc. And shows you how to provide value to these needs. Therefore making you friends.

Think back at your relationship failures and you will find that there was a failure in needs and value.

Now think back at your relationship successes. That feel good is nothing other than Value meeting the Need. And this is how it also feels in Entrepreneurship when you sell 1 unit of your product.

I did some research and humans basically have 5 levels of needs: Intimate, Intellectual, Emotional, Recreational and Physical.

So before you ever get married ask yourself does this person meet my needs and do I provide value to their needs. If yes then you got yourself a great candidate.

So hopefully this post made you think a little bit about the question: What makes relationships successful?

Just like Entrepreneurship its gonna require you to think critically a little bit and bun a brain cell.


Relationships are one of the most important parts of our Business and Personal Lives. From partners to clients to friends to boyfriends and spouses. You want rich and healthy relationships. Nobody wants to be a lonely Millionaire unless you actually enjoy that.

BTW this is also why happy people thrive in relationships. They provide a lot of value.

Here at the forum our main focus tends to be “What makes businesses successful and the people that run them?” But what about relationships?
So now question for you: What do YOU think makes relationships successful?


I thought about this and my answer was when value and needs come together just like when a customer and a business come together and both sides are happy and satisfied and enjoy each other. :groove:
