Let me clear something up! Your network is NOT your net worth… You hear many people say this but it’s not the full truth. The true statement is “Your Network Will Increase Your Net Worth When You Invest In Your Network And Empower People To Grow” Yesterday, I received a text from my top client and friend Lorenzo P. Lewis. He was traveling from a keynote address he gave in Chicago. His message read: “Man met your frat bro Juan! He’s from Richmond and was at the conference in Chicago! Cool dude!” Then this morning, I received a message from my Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity brother Juan Hardy who sent me the photo below of him and Lorenzo. His message read: “We met yesterday in Chicago. That brother is making some big moves. We’re going to connect again to do shop talk.” This is an example of how #CollaborationCreatesCurrency works. Questions: 1. Are you investing in your network? 2. Who do you need to reconnect with that could benefit from your energy? 3. What connections do you need to make in THIS season? Looking forward to reading your responses. #YBConnects #YBCredibilityPR #Networking

Lorenzo P. Lewis is by far one of the most teachable clients I’ve had the pleasure of coaching. The greatest blessing that has manifested as a result of our relationship is the amount of wisdom I’ve gained from him regarding business, entrepreneurship and scaling. This video from Lorenzo is a sample of the impact he makes when he speaks to corporations, municipalities, and nonprofit organizations. Follow or Connect with Lorenzo P. Lewis via LinkedIn or visit his website: Lorenzoplewis.com/ #CollaborationCreatesCurrency #YBConnects #YBCredibilityPR #LorenzoPLewis
