Social Currency and Your Circle of Influence

Your circle of influence can play a large role in building your social currency.

Before you can build strong connections, understand that connections don’t just happen by chance. Everything you say and do is going to impact your relationships with people, and no one will want to form any type of relationship with you if you don’t demonstrate some type of value (demonstrated by what you think and how consistent you are).

While our value can be determined by the quality of our connections, it can also be determined by the quality of ourselves.

Develop all of your skills -- and perhaps try to form new skills altogether -- to build your value. You are a social currency, and you want to be the most valuable piece of currency out there.
