Rich Relationships by Selena Soo: A Must-Read Business Book for Women Entrepreneurs
Open to all Members; No registration required
Every entrepreneur has heard the phrase, "Your network is your net worth."
But what does that actually mean?
Does building a strong network mean collecting business cards? Attending every networking event? Sending more LinkedIn connection requests?
Not quite.
The strongest businesses are rarely built by the person who knows the most people.
They're built by the person who builds the deepest relationships.
That's exactly why The Elleiance Network chose Rich Relationships by Selena Soo as the focus of our 2026 Summer Book Club.
Because while strategies, marketing, and sales will always matter, relationships remain one of the most valuable assets an entrepreneur can invest in.
And unlike many business books, this isn't about networking harder.
It's about building meaningful relationships that naturally create opportunities, referrals, collaborations, and long-term business growth.
What Is the Summer Book Club?
The Summer Book Club is one of the many experiences included inside The Elleiance Network membership, bringing women entrepreneurs together to learn from influential business books and, more importantly, discuss how those ideas can be applied in real life.
Reading a great book is valuable.
Talking about it with ambitious women who are actively building businesses takes the learning even further.
Each discussion creates space to share perspectives, ask questions, exchange ideas, and discover practical ways to implement what you're learning.
Because knowledge becomes far more powerful when it's shared.
And that's exactly what the Summer Book Club is designed to do.

About the Book Rich Relationships
This year's Summer Book Club features Rich Relationships by Selena Soo.
The book explores one of the most overlooked growth strategies in business: intentional relationship-building.
Rather than treating networking as a numbers game, Selena encourages entrepreneurs to build authentic relationships with people who genuinely align with their values, goals, and vision.
Throughout the book, she shares practical strategies for building trusted relationships with clients, referral partners, mentors, collaborators, and other key people who can help accelerate your business.
It's a refreshing approach that reminds us that sustainable success is rarely built alone.
The strongest opportunities often come through relationships built with care, generosity, and intention.

The Best Opportunities Often Begin with a Conversation
Books introduce ideas.
Conversations deepen them.
Relationships bring them to life.
That's why the Summer Book Club is about so much more than reading a book.
It's about surrounding yourself with women who challenge your thinking, expand your perspective, and remind you that the most valuable business asset you'll ever build isn't found in your CRM.
It's found in the quality of your relationships.
We don't succeed alone.
We succeed together.
