Sherrie Rose lives by Relationship Riches, and she practiced it with actions and words since childhood. Here is where the motto came from, and why it compounds.
Ask Sherrie Rose which app reminds her of birthdays. There isn't one. No calendar alert, no reminder service, no list on the fridge. She remembers. Then she calls, or she shows up at the door, because she thought of you.
That habit is older than the phrase. For years it was simply how she treated the people in her life: the extra ten miles for someone she cares about, and every promise completed. Then she named it.
“Sherrie Rose is a woman of high intrinsic value, balanced with insight, wisdom and beauty. Sherrie has summed up the essence of life in two words, ‘Relationship Riches.’”
Alexander R.
In October 2010, Sherrie registered RelationshipRiches.com. In 2012, the full motto appeared in print for the first time, in her book The Webinar Way (Kindle first edition):
“The Real Currency is Relationship Riches.”™Sherrie Rose
It has been her personal motto ever since. Over the years the phrase has traveled. It has appeared word for word in other people’s books and videos, often without her name attached, and sometimes dropping the “es” on Riches. Imitation, as the saying goes, is the sincerest form of flattery. The original belongs to Sherrie, and she is happy to share.
Most currency changes hands once. A dollar leaves your wallet, and that exchange is finished.
Relationship Riches runs on a different schedule. It is an investment in others and in yourself, and it compounds for both. The call on the right day, the visit nobody asked for, the follow-through someone counted on: each one builds trust, and trust returns. The person you invested in comes away with more. So do you, in patience, in discernment, and in knowing exactly who you can count on.
You can see it at a larger scale in how Dolly Parton trusted other voices with her songs, and in the role trust plays in every relationship worth keeping.
Count your wealth by the people who pick up when you call. Then call one of them today.
