One of the best parts about starting a business or creative endeavor is when you get acknowledged by the people that inspired you, even in some small way.

“XYZ started following you.”

or

“Hey, love what you’re doing with ABC, keep going!”

Along my journey, I’ve had a few memorable moments like this, and I’ll always remember when and where I was when they happened. It's always nostalgic to think about these.

In some ways, this is like a virtual head nod - a small gesture we can use to show our support and let each other know we’re all rooting for each other.

Sometimes, a simple click the RT button is enough to make someone's week. 

As I grow, I try to always remember this and pay it forward to younger and smaller creators.
