The Importance Of Making A Connection
|
I’ve often spoken of the importance of making a connection with people while selling The Contributor. I’ve even gone so far as to say it’s more important than the amount of money you make. I was recently asked what I meant by that. Aren’t you trying to make money? The short answer is yes, but there are times when other things take priority over that.

A Short Story of my Life
|
I remember back when I was a kid I used to see my dad go out in the fields and plow cotton or whatever needed to be done in the field. He would stay all day, come home, eat dinner and shower. But what was so amazing was he would then spend five or six hours studying God’s word. I come to the conclusion and wonder, how can someone be so devoted to God like he was? I would say to myself, I wonder when I get up in age can I be that way?
