What is the starfish difference?

The story of the starfish on the beach is about a person walking along a beach covered with stranded starfish. As they pick them up one by one and throw them back into the ocean, someone asks why bother, you can’t possibly help all of the starfish. The person replies, “It made a difference to that one.”
Even small, personalized efforts can have a big impact. Just like the person saved each starfish, genealogical research may uncover valuable family histories for individuals, making a significant difference in their lives and yours in turn. In your business, you can highlight how your services help clients connect to their roots, one family story at a time.
