“Check out how many followers we have.”

“Look at the number of subscribers!”

“Did you see how many ‘likes’ our last post got?”

That’s great… but did you hear the sigh of relief from a group of students who vocally expressed their appreciation that somebody actually listened to them?

How about seeing firsthand the fire that was lit under another person to make some great changes in their life?

Did anyone send you a personalized message recently to express their sincere gratitude for understanding what they were going through in life?

Does a business owner give you a VIP treatment when you walk into their establishment… not because of your popularity… but the sincere connection the two of you have with each other?

Anything I wanted to do in life, or places I’ve wanted to visit, have all been made possible because of real connections built slowly over the last twenty years.

When you make authentic connections with people, the ROI of each of them become exponential.
