Have you ever heard the expression, “it’s not what you know but who you know?” Well, I’m here to tell you that this statement is partly true. Networking and connections are important but it’s meaningful connections with the right intentions that are truly powerful!
Connection is hearing what someone needs and being able to fulfill that need. It’s not a selfish pursuit to shake hands with everyone in the room or to give out every single business card. Connection is about service, impact, and combining resources. We must realize that when we build up others, we build up ourselves.
In this episode, I share a powerful & inspiring story about a recent connection that I made that truly filled my heart. This God-ordained connection that I was able to facilitate will bring value and opportunities to so many people. Just remember to always stay connected to who you are, stay connected to your bigger why stay connected to your bigger purpose, and stay open to those things that come to you as opportunities for you to deliver on your purpose. Also, look for opportunities to connect with other people.

🔑 When you really know who you are, that allows you to show up with a level of confidence that allows you to connect with other people.
🔑 Prosperity comes when you serve and are present for the right reasons.
🔑 Always aim to be a solution for one person in a room, not to just meet everyone in the room.

Sit deep with this and think about the connections that you have. Think about the connections that you want to have, the connections that you can make for others.
