COLLECTION

COLLECTION

The word COLLECTION was prompted by a comment yesterday to the word CONNECTION.

We can use our CONNECTIONs to build our COLLECTIONs. If we collect things that others care about, if we collect things that add value to others, then we can also use our COLLECTIONs to build our CONNECTIONs.

I started posting non-random thoughts after following John Maxwell’s word-of-the-day messages and a common quote he uses is “Be a river, not a reservoir”  The value you collect becomes much greater when it flows.

DynaMed Plus is a massive COLLECTION of most useful information for health care professionals at the point of care, originally created to support the CONNECTION of one physician with his patients, but by sharing the COLLECTION to lead to CONNECTIONS with more than a million other physicians the CONNECTIONs grow the COLLECTION which grows the CONNECTIONs and it has become far greater.

So if you can use your COLLECTIONs to build your CONNECTIONs, you can achieve COLLECTIVE success.
