Make yourself available and be sincere. There is no replacement for face-to-face interaction. Even if you work in a completely remote environment, you’ve got to try to meet sometimes in person in order to create a connection. If you want to truly be able to connect and understand a person’s idea, you’ve got to be open, be curious, and keep asking questions. You are the CEO of You, Inc. Do everything for your own life what you would have done for your business. Have accountability, create systems, be organized, and continuously plan your own growth, always looking ahead to the next level.  “Connect with each person in a very personal way, so that you can understand them and they can understand you.
