Creating communities can speed up the nurture process Real empowerment is when you have such a candid relationship that you can have the difficult conversations With every opportunity, you should first look at whether it’s in alignment with your values and get you closer to your goals Always ask yourself - do I value the person and being with them? Does it help people and drive revenue? Is it fun?
