It’s easier to get to the next level with someone showing you the way. Who’s helping you find your next foothold? Do they know how important they are to you? (Hint: tell them.)
Who are you creating a path for? Do they know? Help them along. Someday they may strike out in a direction you want to go.
“Make something of yourself. Try your best to get to the top, if that’s where you want to go, but know that the more people you try to take with you, the faster you’ll get there and the longer you’ll stay there.” – James A. Autry
