So you don't do those things. It saves you time money and hassle now in this video We're gonna talk about networking networking kind of got a bad name years ago because it had a lot to do with multi-level stuff And I'm not cutting down that industry. That's just not for me. That's not my thing Multi-level was like you're trying to sell your friends and your family and you're networking and they're talking about Hey, you're gonna make all this money and you buy for me and then you get somebody else to buy from you And that's kind of what people thought of networking and networking in business is really not like that Networking in business is basically Surrounding yourself with successful people who are going to keep you motivated We're gonna make you accountable and who you can also help and I think that's the biggest thing right there There's too many people want to network so they can get a whole bunch of successful people around them But they're not contributing if they don't contribute then of course these people aren't gonna want to be around you So what I'd like to do is I want to go through a few steps of things that you need to do to get really super successful people To want to hang out with you Number one, this is the big one. This is the big one that's gonna get you started That's gonna cause you to fail if you don't do it and that is be somebody that they would want to hang out with Simple be somebody who other people would want to hang out with now. This is a multifaceted thing because it's not just You know being a cool person or being good-looking or any of that It's what kind of quality person are you you know people judge you based on your actions every day? Are you the kind of person that talks about? Everybody else behind their back because if you're doing that and you're talking to somebody and you're sharing this gossip or whatever It is they know that you're gonna do the same thing to them and whatever talk you're talking if it's negative They know you're gonna talk negative about if it's positive. They're also gonna know you talk positive about people So the first step is be somebody who they want to hang out with so If you want to have really super successful people want to be around you guess what you have to be a really super successful person So a lot of people think well I just need to get some mentors people who are very successful who will tell me what to do and then I can be Successful to and that's not the way to go about it The way to go about it is the first thing you do is work on yourself and accomplish some things Do some things that are noteworthy, you know accomplish some things make some money Accomplish something physical do something write a book do something that other people are gonna look at and say gee I want to hang out with that person. That's a cool person to want to be with and That is the easiest way to really hang out with cool people because you will attract them They will see who you are and they'll say that's the kind of person that I want to hang out with Are you kind of people are you kind of animals? Do you care about other people's lives? You know are you are you nice to people? I mean are you just kind to people? Okay, if you're kind that goes a long way if you're always complaining and bitching and moaning and telling people You know why things didn't work out how bad your boss is or your wife is or your kids are? That's you that's on you and you're never gonna attract a nice circle of people now number two Let's talk about how to go about it. You can meet really cool people through other really cool people Okay, so once you've met a couple people you can also say do you know anybody else who is really into I don't know SEO or building websites or whatever that you think is really good at it I would love to meet them if you would introduce me so one of the easiest ways to do this is to ask other people if they know other people and To also offer to match them up with people that would help them out in life So if I meet somebody and they're working on building websites And I know some people that need some websites built I may say hey you may want to talk to Joe over here He needs some help on stuff and I can connect those people a little bit I'm gonna help them out also which comes to number three help other people help other people now I don't mean help other people and see how much money you can make off them I don't mean that at all. I mean if you've got an expertise or a talent and Somebody needs that offer your help for free. Yes for free. That means yeah, you don't charge them You don't do that. Okay offer for free now Can you help everybody that comes along for free all the time? Of course not But that doesn't mean that you get off with never helping anybody You've got to help some people along the way and I've got a lot of friends along the way that you know I've helped for years and they haven't really helped me out. They haven't done anything for me, but you know what? I don't expect it I don't expect them to if they want to do that they will if they want to introduce me to somebody they Can but bottom line is I feel like if I've given back a little bit to some people along the way And I've helped them out. That's going to make me a better person and in doing so I've met a lot of other really cool people because they've said hey I heard you help Nate or John or Pete or Bob or whoever it was and Yeah, I want to talk to you about whatever business field. I want to talk to you about a collaboration whatever Put that out there I know I get emails now on a daily basis about Collaborations because they see one of my videos on YouTube and they go hey, I'd like to collaborate with you now Right now I don't have a lot of time to do that I probably will on down the road but bottom line is it's all because they see I'm helping others for free And they say well, that's the kind of person I want to hang out with Number four ask others what they feel they need So when I meet somebody I don't just say hey, can you do this for me? Can you hook me up with this person? Can you you know give me this advice? I say, you know, what do you need? What are you working on? What can I help you out with? You know, I may know somebody that could help you So the first thing I'm going to do is offer help to somebody else a lot of people don't want to offer that You got to ask them what they need. What do you need? What can I do to make your life better? That's number four number five Really important really really really important number five. Are you ready for this? Don't take up so much of their time. Don't do that Don't gobble up their time, you know If you if you do that if you meet some people who are successful and do well And they're kind enough to give you some of their time Don't abuse it. Okay. Don't abuse it. Don't stay on the phone for two hours Ask them more and more questions say I just have two or three things. I'd like to ask you real quick I really appreciate you taking time out and get those things answered and say I know you're a busy person Let me let you go if you do that It shows respect for their time and they're not going to think the next time that you contact them That you're going to be on there forever and they're they're going to want to avoid you if you do that Okay, so make sure you respect their time. Don't take too much of their time. Number six. This is huge This drives me crazy Let the other person speak Let the other person speak. Okay So many times people will tell me their problems and all their issues and what's going on and what they need help with And what they've done, but they never let me say a word And i'm sitting there going well, I could help you with that if you'd stop talking if you'd just stop it Okay, I could probably help you and I don't say that but that's what i'm thinking What I do do is I kind of store that away and I go I know I can't help that person because they know it all they have all the reasons why they can't They have all the reasons why it's failed, you know, and all they want to do is talk about their problem But I can't help them So I will give up on those people because they won't let the other person talk Number seven achieve and present a success story. You got to do that Okay, you got to achieve something you got to do something and you go. I haven't done anything I'm going to say we'll go do something then, you know If it's write a book if it's write an article if it's sell a whole bunch of widgets if it's you know Do counseling with kids or help animals or whatever it is do something noteworthy and then let them know you did it Okay, don't brag but let them know you did it that way They know a little bit about you and they're going to be more likely to want to network with you and help you out Number eight find a reason to follow up if you like who you've talked to and you want to spend some more time with them You know, you may say to them Hey, I want to like to help you out with the situation you got here with your website And if you don't mind I'll get back with you about 60 days. See how it worked out for you Is that okay and they're going to say sure. Yeah. No, you help me out It'd be great and what you're doing is you're actually saying my advice is worth value And I know it's worth value or I wouldn't be contacting you in 60 days to see how well it worked out for you So that sets up a really good precedent and it also kind of puts in their minds that they're going to have to work on This thing because you're going to check with them So it'll actually help them be more successful because it puts expectations on them Number nine always say thank you always say thank you Now it doesn't matter to me if I'm helping somebody or they're helping me I'm still going to say thank you You know, if I help somebody out for an hour and a half on how to do videos on their youtube channel at the end I'm going to say hey, thanks for letting me help you out. Okay. They're gonna. Oh, no, no, no Thank you you help me out. But the point is we respect that okay We respect when somebody says thank you to us It's a big thing the two things that people have a hard time with is thank you and I'm sorry Okay, those are the two biggest things they cost us nothing They cost us zero so many people can never say they're sorry It's like giving up their soul or something even if you don't think you're wrong. Say, I'm sorry. Don't follow up with I'm sorry. You felt that way Don't do that because then it takes it right back away. Just say I'm sorry. Hey, I'm sorry It's not hard to do Thank you. I really appreciate that not hard to do These are two things that can really help you build your network. I promise Number 10 is kind of a bonus and number 10 is Be aware of your online presence. Be aware of your online presence If you want people to like you if you want people to hang out with you If you want people to help you and you want to build this network Don't be a jerk online. Okay. Don't be a jerk. Just don't be a jerk Okay, so many people online Um, and it's it's horrible. I guess because everybody has a voice now Everybody can you know spout out whatever's in their mind. They could put it online And you've got to understand that there's people that don't agree with you They just don't agree with you and when you spout out the stuff and I've seen this happen with family members I've had to have with my family members But they put just awful political views online and awful political view is Bleep this out billy Awful political view is whatever the other person doesn't agree with that's what an awful political view is Now I have my political views probably not too many people know anything about it unless they know me really close Because I'm not trying to change anybody's political view. I'm just not I don't think you can I think all you do is upset people and you make them mad when you say something It's just opposite of what they had to say now if you have Uh an inclination to do this and you're starting to do this You're going to have haters that are going to say stuff to you and you're going to go back and forth with them And you're setting up this online presence. That's awful. That's just awful People who decide to network with you are going to look online and see what your online presence is And if it's that of an angry person if it's that of somebody who argues with people Who spouts a bunch of political views who it spouts a bunch of different religious views and against all these different things They're not going to want to hang out with you. I promise you they're not going to want to hang out with you Okay, try to be kind and I said that in the beginning. Just be kind be nice Okay, respect that other people may not agree with you. That doesn't mean that they're bad people They just don't agree with you and that's okay I think social media is the worst place to put your opinions of just about anything Okay, I really do so when you're posting online Understand you're building that personality online that people are going to go back and look at and the more they look at it The more stuff you have in there that's good The more they're going to feel like hanging out with you and if you have negative stuff The opposite occurs. They're not going to want to hang out with you. You're not going to build a circle of friends So understand you're building your life resume online. We're going to call it a life resume online as you post online Please be aware of that.
