Reach Often and Multiply

There’s an old advertising rule that still rings true: Reach and Frequency.

Reach is all about how many people hear your message. Frequency? That’s how often they hear it. It’s a formula that’s worked for decades when you want to reach the masses.

But let’s flip that around—how does it work when you want something? When the audience is just one—you? The real question becomes: How often are you reaching?

Let me take you back to a legendary story. Scottish hero Robert the Bruce—defeated, hiding out—watches a spider trying to spin its web. The spider keeps falling . . . but keeps trying. Again and again. Eventually, it succeeds. And that moment, watching a spider refuse to give up, inspired him to rally and win a decisive battle.

That spider? It’s a symbol. A reminder to keep reaching. How often? Well, if history—and success stories—teach us anything, the answer is simple: As often as it takes.

Reaching out once? That’s like buying one lottery ticket and expecting to hit the jackpot. It’s the continued reaching—the effort, the persistence—that gives us the stretch and flexibility we need to actually move forward.

And flexibility is key. Because if we keep reaching the same way over and over and it’s not working? That’s no better than not reaching at all.

So maybe the new personal mantra isn’t Reach and Frequency, but Reach and Flexibility.

It reminds me of a moment when my youngest son was learning how to swim. His instructor kept saying, “The magic words are: reach and pull.” And that stuck with me.

Reach. It's a timeless tool for success.

So here’s what I’ll leave you with:
How often will you reach?
And how flexible are you willing to be?

Your answers to those two questions?
They’ll shape your destiny.

All the best,
 John
