Before you spend another dollar on ads, algorithms, or chasing strangers online, you need to know what’s already sitting in your phone, inbox, and contact list. In this episode of The Success $ Lab, Dr. Shena Dixon Mason, Esq. shows you how wealthy families and seasoned founders quietly treat relationships like an asset class—and how you can do the same without becoming a full‑time networker. We start with a simple exercise: drawing a stick person in the center of a page and mapping out the real humans already connected to your life and work. From there, you’ll see how one client turned a messy list of names into a clear “power base” divided into four zones: buyers, referrers, collaborators, and dormant relationships. We’ll unpack what changed when they stopped blasting the same generic message to everyone and instead made specific decisions about who needed an invitation, who needed appreciation, who needed a clearer explanation of what they actually do, and who they were ready to re‑engage with on purpose. You’ll hear examples of low‑pressure outreach that led to new contracts, speaking invitations, and introductions, and you’ll get a simple structure for a 60‑minute “power‑base audit” you can run once a quarter. This episode gives your team a ready‑made outline for a blog on turning existing relationships into a living pipeline—complete with definitions of each relationship zone, practical scripts and prompts, and a step‑by‑step flow from stick‑figure sketch to strategy.
