Do you create connection when engaging others? Are you open to connections? Do you follow up? I will bet your answer is yes. I believe that you know that our ability to have greater success depends on connections.

Or have you gotten comfortable with the connections you already have? Maybe you are running in the same circle? If your answer is yes the question is different. Does your circle empower you, provide resources and solutions? And do you for it?

Where are you reaching out to make new connections? Or better yet, how do you make sure you introduce people to others they should meet? 

Influence begins with building and nurturing connections.
