Once I had the opportunity to speak to roughly 300 association executives about the Ripple concept. I shared that Ripple could be leveraged to help them build their personal and professional networks the right way. I felt really good about the speech. The feedback I received from the audience seemed to indicate the message had been on point.

One of the things that struck me was a conversation I had with a man who approached me after I got off stage. He came up to tell me how much he appreciated my approach to connecting and that my words had really touched his heart. He said that he tries to do things in a similar fashion in his own life but my words further inspired him to do more. His heartfelt comments meant a lot to me. I live for that kind of feedback if I'm being completely honest.

What more can he do if he already considers himself a self-proclaimed Rippler? Well, one bit of advice that I left with the audience that day that I think may help propel someone like this man and hopefully you to keep creating Ripples is...DO MORE GOOD THAN YOU DO BAD.

LOOK FOR AND FIND, EVERY SINGLE DAY, SOMEONE TO CREATE A RIPPLE FOR.

It amazes me how that little bit of advice can literally open the floodgates of more good things Rippling back to me. It's the law of the Ripple. The more good things that you do the more good things that will come back to you. Maybe not always in ways that we expect but that's okay too. If we consciously look for opportunities to impact someone else, we ourselves will be impacted.

It's worked for me. It can and will work for you too. Trust me. Try it and see for yourself!

Ripple On!!!
