Welcome to another episode of Growth Bites. Today we are talking about the power of connecting people. The more you give away for free, the more you receive in return. Helping bring people together is a fulfilling way to be remembered and create your personal power network.

• One of James Altucher’s rules stood out to me: connect 2 people every day. [1:29]
• At the end of the day, the real way to “make it” is to help people. The more you give, the more you get. [1:55]
• As I started to focus on helping others, people started to remember me. It wasn’t always immediate, but people would start to remember me. [3:30]
• A great book on this topic is How To Be A Power Connector by Judy Robinett. [5:37]
• The 5+50+100 rule for turning your business network into profits. [6:30]
