How Big Is Your Audience?

Really, how much pull do you have? No, I am not wondering how many Twitter followers you have. That is as easy to game as an online politics poll.

No, how big is your audience? When you write something, or do something, how many people does it impact? Your actions alone, not someone that you manage. What impact do you have, every day?

Are you creating a ripple, a splash, a nothing, or perhaps a typhoon? Think about it. Who are you touching? When you go to sleep tomorrow night, or tonight depending on your time zone, how many lives will you have changed?

Set a goal, pick a number of people that you want to influence tomorrow. Then stick to it. Then add one for the next day, and keep hat up. Eventually, it will be a large number.

Life is interactions, all combined into a wonderful web of people. How big is your audience? How big is your life?
