How to use Twitter to to Send Gratitude and Make Connections



I'm newly active on Twitter and got a kick today realizing how easy it is to connect with thinkers you admire there. I thought I'd share this screenshot above for posterity.

It's true- while reading through Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook: How to Tell Your Story in a Noisy Social World I just felt the urge to reach out. Picture this. I was sitting there, reading this guy's book, and I get acknowledged in a small and simple way AS I'm reading it - it was one of the best feelings in the world!

Not everyone will write you back, or as quickly. I Tweeted to @MarieForleo and got a tweet back from her team. Marie just doesn't use Twitter!

On the other hand, I Tweeted to @RobinSharma and a day or so later  he wrote back with great humility and class, just like you'd expect from him.

I encourage you to reach out to anyone who you feel is currently inspiring you. It's so easy on Twitter and the rewards are great!

Never stop learning, growing, and reaching!
