Currently in this lovely state of Indiana it is about 34 degrees out.

No biggie.

Except the snow will not let up, not even for a second.

Which brings me to todays “free lesson”

You see;

About two years ago I helped a fellow Army Veteran dig himself out of a pretty nasty place.

Wasn't just him though.

Once he was out, we pretty much helped anyone in the neighborhood who needed it.

And apparently he spread the word about how I helped him and went as far to help others when I didn't have too.

(you know being that I work from home and all)

Anyways;

That was two years ago.

Earlier this morning after shoveling a walkway for my neighbors in case they decided to leave – which the most likely won't – I was greeted by people who know my name, yet I had no idea who they were.

So I asked:

“How on Earth do you guys know my name?”

Their response:

“Oh, you helped X a few years ago and they couldn't stop talking about how grateful they were”

And that my friend…

Is a list building secret covered in snow.

Just imagine having the right people saying nothing but great things about what you do, and directing others your way.
