Forward
My entire life it seems has been focused on networking, promoting, creating relationships and helping others. The idea of creating strategic relationships has simply come naturally to me and is how I have always done business.
I met Meredith several years ago as she was transitioning from a financial planning career to one as a speaker, author and coach. Not only have I observed her as she has created multiple successful strategic alliances, but she has also served as a contributing expert in my own business which interestingly enough is a giant strategic alliance of contributing experts and joint venture partners.
It’s no coincidence that I would hear from Meredith that she was partnering with Mary, another powerful leader in the area of creating strategic alliances, to create this much needed book as a resource and tool for others to do the same.
If you are new to strategic alliances or an expert yourself, you will love this book because of the action-oriented exercises, common sense and smart advise. Meredith and Mary are wonderful guides who will help you leverage your relationships to create powerful alliances which will help you reach your long-term goals faster while making a difference in the world.
