Dov has been speaking around the world for over 30 years, but regardless of his business engagement or venture at a given moment, relationships have always played a defining role. He says the most important moment of his life was meeting and marrying the woman of his dreams.

Building a close-knit network of supporters Make relationships a priority. Understand that nothing exists without relationships. Intimacy is a must. You must be willing to fully reveal yourself and be of service. Take time to really get to know the other person and to let them know what you stand for, Just like it happens in romantic relationships, business relationships go through a courting and nurturing process. When reaching out to influencers, show them how they're making an impact in your life--down to the small details. "I love your work" or "i'm a big fan" won't do it. Ask yourself how the other person has changed your life, and be willing to express it. That's value you can contribute no matter the size of your business. It’s the simple, little things that stick in the other person’s mind. Details create impact. Leadership to create business relationships
