Would you be missed?

Would you? If you closed up shop today and went back to a "normal" 9-to-5 job, would your clients miss you? Would they even know you left? Would potential clients be upset they lost their chance to work with you?

Stop a minute and think about the impact you have on your clients and the industry you serve. Are you presenting yourself as a leader in your field, full of great ideas and providing valuable resources to everyone who comes your way? Are you making a difference in the lives of the people you meet, either online or in person?

Sure, the goal of every business is to make money- we have bills to pay after all, but what if our goal was to make a difference in the lives of every person we meet, no matter if they are clients or not? What if we made such strong connections with those we "talk" to that they would miss us if we were gone?

Shouldn't that be our ultimate goal?
