[George] I was talking with someone recently who, by most measures, had been very successful. At one point he said, “I know a lot of people, but I don’t feel deeply connected to many of them.”

I’m honored to be one of those he feels connected to…but that stayed with me.

He wasn’t lonely. He had plenty of relationships. But it made me realize there’s a difference between knowing people and feeling connected to them.

And I think that’s one of the hidden costs success can sometimes bring.

Work – Life Balance

Do you have long-time friends that you have trouble keeping in touch with as regularly as you might like?

Here’s an idea – schedule a "telecoffee" or a "teletea" meeting.

Plan a time when each of you can take a little break. Grab your cup of coffee or tea and you’re ready! Then hook up via phone, live chat, or text messaging.

We admit it’s not the same as being together in person. However, it’s the next best thing because you can still carry on a two-way conversation.

You’ll be able to quickly catch up on what’s going on with each other. You can share advice. You can talk about whatever you want to talk about.

The good part is that you don’t even have to drive anywhere to do it. The best part is that you’ll be able to maintain a close connection with someone about whom you really care.
