Today I had lunch with two amazing people; Tiffany Walke Peterson and Ty Bennett.

Tiffany is a key note speaker for the self founded company The Lighthouse Principles and is also endorsed by Jack Canfield, co-author of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series.  Tiffany is also a personal coach and mentor who has had remarkable success helping others to get their desired results.  She is a seasoned success trainer, speaker, coach, and facilitator helping individuals and organizations alike  in creating stellar results and lasting change in their professional, financial, and personal lives.  She is a powerful person and demands a presence.

Ty Bennett is also a speaker and author for Leadership Inc which he founded in 2009.  Ty has a life changing audio CD called The Power of Belief.  Ty is a gifted communicator who has a unique ability to make the complex simple and to teach and inspire. At age 21, Ty started a business with his brother Scott, which in a few short years they built into a multi-million dollar, international enterprise.  He is currently in the process of co-authoring a book with Kevin Hall about the two most important days of your life.   Kevin just released a New York Times best seller Aspire: Discovering Your Purpose Through the Power of Words.

At this point you are probably wondering what the point of this post is. Have you heard that your network is your net worth?  As an entrepreneur are you an introvert or extrovert.  Especially in today’s competitive world it is more important than ever to get yourself out into the public’s eye serve first.  It is easier now than it has ever been to make connections…powerful connections.  Social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTube have been the means of connections that would have never existed otherwise.  It is no wonder that there are more millionaires created now than in any other time in history.

One more thing…today’s lunch was the first time that I have met Tiffany, although we have communicated a few times via Facebook.  She did something that really impressed me.  She asked Ty and myself if there was any way that she could serve us.  She didn’t ask us half way or at the end of our meeting.  She asked right at the beginning.  Tiffany has mastered that if you help enough people get what they want, eventually you will get what you want.

What is the most powerful connection that you have made?
