# How to Manage Business Relationships

**TL;DR:** Entrepreneurship is often misconceived as a solo journey, but strong relationships are crucial for success. Even successful entrepreneurs like Steve Jobs and Bill Gates had strong connections to achieve their goals.

## Story

All too often, people think of entrepreneurship as a solo journey. It gets idealized as "making it on your own" and "paving the path to your own future."

And while the entrepreneur's life is amazing, it's not something that anyone can do alone.

Even the best of the best need strong relationships to get anywhere. Think Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, and more; they all had strong connections and relationships to get them where they got.

If you want to see success in your own business, it's time to start focusing on relationship management, too.
