Summary
This is a lesson I taught back in 2012.
What I've learned is if you want to have great friends, you have to be a good friend.
You have to make it all about the good friends.
I've watched Ed Mylett and he skillfully makes every conversation about the people even if they're complimenting him.
He gets it.
If you want people to like you, make it about them.
Make sure you like people's posts.
If I'm going to have a big social circle, I have to be engaged with a lot of people.
I have a lot of people jockeying for their attention.
But I still vie for their attention because I still want to be their friend.
I'm not talking about paying their bills.
They're the ones asking how the kids and wife are doing.
They're the ones checking in to see how things are going.
That's what makes a good friend.
Be a great friend if you want to have good friends both online and off!
