It's not just numbers of people you know. It's the influence you have and the ripples you leave in the groups you're involved in.
Some people cause much bigger ripples and their presence is felt in their actions and inactions. Some people choose not to cause ripples and go through life not having an effect.
There are yet rare others who have the gift of influence and synchronicity who are able to shape things.
However, I am *very* tired, and my theory is half-baked. I'll revisit after some thought, however the bones are as above.
Also, it's a question of self-belief and presence. If you believe in yourself, people pick up on this and listen to what you say and before you know it, you're "the famous" x... :)
