Powerful People make connections with people.

Real power is not physical strength. Real power is the knack of getting along; having people like you; and, working with others for bilateral benefit. It's the capacity to make friends, create relationships, motivate students, and influence people. Real power is having a vision and communicating that vision to others, empowering others to be their best selves.  Real Power is having an extensive “circle of influence” enabling you to get things done right—right now. 

Really powerful people model powerful behaviors and inspire others to action.  

Powerful people link effectively to people past, present & future.

Past -- The powerful people quoted in the Be Powerful books were powerful because of their influence on others, even you. Yet you may have never met any one of these individuals, just as you may not have met many of the people that you have affected, either positively or negatively.

Present -- A powerful person is anyone who has influence over another person. Notice that we said influence, not control. Many people misunderstand power as a control issue. Whether you know it or not, you influence many people every day. It may be as obvious as your interaction with a co-worker or a family member; or, as subtle as your mannerisms when standing in a long checkout line at the store. In every circumstance where you can be observed by another person, you are exerting influence by word and/or by example. You must address the characteristics that you show to the people in your life. These are the same characteristics that these same people look at when determining how powerful a person you are to them. 

Future -- My primary goal during my life has been to make a difference in people’s lives.  I have tried out many different career options.  I have been a successful technician, preacher, teacher and author.  But in all of these things I was trying to make a difference to individuals, to people; family, friends, students, strangers and anyone seeking to make their life better.  Sometimes I was able to make a difference.  Sometimes I was no help at all.  And sometimes I simply did not know if I had any effect at all or not.  But we all influence others and they in turn influence still others.  The connections we make today have repercussions far out into the future.
