Hi may feel free to drop the link the invitation link in the comments

23
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:03,880
So that if somebody wants to jump in they're welcome to but there's so many there's so many new things about networking these days

24
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,720
That are very important to be aware of one

25
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:12,840
It's important to remember that it's so effective like it's a great opportunity when you can go in person and meet people

26
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,840
It's such an effective way to connect with people

27
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:22,320
About what it is you're up to in the world what they're up to and ultimately strike up a business conversation and potential business deals

28
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:28,720
So I'm so glad that's not dead and to there's different types of communities

29
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:33,200
There's different types of networking experiences. You can have very very different experiences

30
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,880
Kajabi was by far one of the best events. I've ever been involved with you know

31
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,960
People were going up to each other and hugging complete strangers

32
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:45,360
You know, it's like it's almost like kovat didn't exist while we were there

33
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,680
It's like that section of life just wasn't doesn't exist anymore

34
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,360
It was so cool because you got a bunch of course creators

35
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:55,480
you got a bunch of people who are putting down some tremendous value in the world that we're all coming together and

36
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,720
So going to the right networking event matters, too

37
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:05,240
I highly recommend getting to events like VidCon for example. That's another one the video conference of youtubers

38
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,760
That's going to be a similar type of vibe and experience

39
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:12,200
Social media examiner is one of those that I would love to be involved with

40
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:17,280
I heard somebody saying that it didn't come anywhere close to as powerful as this Kajabi event

41
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,800
And that's saying a lot because they do have a great van great brand

42
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:25,880
So if you know of a conference a networking event that you find to be

43
00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:28,640
Exhilarating or that you find to be uplifting

44
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:33,360
And with people who are there to help each other than by all means dropping in the comments

45
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:38,480
We would love to know we want to make sure that we're involved in as many great events as possible each year because

46
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:45,680
That's in large part where the magic happens. So with that said again Kajabi. This is a program

47
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:50,480
I may you're also welcome to as you free up to to showcase what Kajabi is

48
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:57,600
How the solution works we use Kajabi at first-class business to build out our onboarding portal for our clients

49
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:05,120
A lot of people would see it as an LMS a learning management software system and that is definitely part of what it does

50
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:11,040
But in reality, it's also a platform to help build community. It's also platform to build landing pages

51
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:16,400
It's a platform where you can piece your offers together and they've got templates and they've got great guides

52
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:20,800
And they've got good people who work with the process to help my team has mostly done

53
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:26,080
Done the the use of Kajabi by ourselves

54
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,360
I called us at the event. I said, we're kind of a Kajabi hermit

55
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:34,000
We haven't really engaged with the Kajabi community too much and gotten to know people at the event

56
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:38,480
So this is cool because we didn't know anybody there and so we could have been treated a little bit like an outcast

57
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:43,600
But we weren't we were embraced fully and people were really excited to help us

58
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,320
Make sure that we maximize the event

59
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:51,360
Maximize the tools learned what we needed to and and the the environment was extremely reciprocal

60
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:58,400
So with that said again back to some of the some of the things we've learned about networking over the last few weeks

61
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,440
I went to a couple of in-person events in San Antonio as well

62
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:09,680
and in the in-person events one of the common occurrences that occurred was the traditional exchange of business cards

63
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:16,080
That almost didn't happen at this event. Everybody had their their QR codes. I don't even mean you're on coach read

64
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,000
I'm gonna use you as an example because you're awesome, man

65
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,840
And I became really good friends of coach read at this event. A lot of people have the

66
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:23,760
QR codes

67
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:28,000
Feel free to scan that if you're looking at this, you'll see where coaches read coach coaches reads

68
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,560
Coach reads page takes you to

69
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:37,040
And then of course the traditional business information is on that event and then there's these cool pages

70
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,880
I can't remember the platform names. I may might also have that on hand

71
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:42,560
but

72
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,560
They're like I don't think it was hello sign

73
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:49,760
Um, but these platforms allow you to put together a quick QR code and that

74
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:56,880
Those business those virtual business cards that I would say people tried to force on your throat and get to work for years

75
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,160
Um, they've come a long way and they are actually kind of cool

76
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:05,680
But that leads me back to one of my greatest points of networking and this has always been the case

77
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,280
But I would say it's never been more true than in today's world

78
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,580
It's so important that we show up interested

79
00:06:12,580 --> 00:06:15,940
Not as an interesting individual

80
00:06:16,340 --> 00:06:20,420
um, you know people don't care how much you know until they know how much you care and so

81
00:06:21,300 --> 00:06:27,140
My team, uh, I sent them some screenshots of these different QR code layouts that people had shown me

82
00:06:27,540 --> 00:06:31,540
Um, and again, I'm not saying the assets not a great asset. We did create our own

83
00:06:32,260 --> 00:06:37,060
but going to kimmy's page for instance and seeing what she was putting out in the world and

84
00:06:37,060 --> 00:06:42,260
And carolin as well seeing what her page is all about. I was like, well, these are cool. I sent screenshots to my team

85
00:06:42,740 --> 00:06:44,900
my team ended up reading those screenshots for me

86
00:06:45,620 --> 00:06:51,060
And I started to provide that same type of experience to others and what was interesting is is I I provided

87
00:06:51,460 --> 00:06:55,060
My QR codes to people, um, you know and got people interested

88
00:06:55,460 --> 00:06:59,780
And what it is we were doing at first class business or vision pros or at able health

89
00:07:00,340 --> 00:07:06,340
The conversations fell a little bit flat versus, um, you know, and I say a little bit flat

90
00:07:06,340 --> 00:07:13,140
Um, sometimes they fell completely flat other times, uh, they just they wanted to ask more and more questions about me

91
00:07:13,620 --> 00:07:17,620
But what I like to do is ask questions about other people and get to know what they're putting out into the world

92
00:07:17,620 --> 00:07:21,620
So it kind of like pigeonholed us down a rabbit down on one of my rabbit holes

93
00:07:22,020 --> 00:07:25,700
And it made it a little bit harder to connect to them about what they were all about what they were doing

94
00:07:26,020 --> 00:07:31,220
So I found that one of the best things you can do is keep the QR codes at bay

95
00:07:31,220 --> 00:07:37,220
Don't use them. Um, and on your end take interest and opt in to somebody else's QR code and take a look at just like

96
00:07:37,220 --> 00:07:41,780
You're supposed to take somebody's business card and explore it, you know and and really see like okay

97
00:07:41,780 --> 00:07:47,700
You're an author your speaker coach for foreign strata. Well, tell me about the book you wrote. Um, you know, I want to know about that

98
00:07:48,100 --> 00:07:49,780
um, and as you

99
00:07:49,780 --> 00:07:55,380
As you engage with people about what they do and take interest in who they are and how they're putting things out into the world

100
00:07:55,780 --> 00:07:57,780
You might have somebody that you connect them to

101
00:07:57,780 --> 00:08:02,020
Um, you know, you might have an opportunity to connect them to somebody else that you met at the conference

102
00:08:02,340 --> 00:08:06,100
Um, so being interested is really what it's all about. It's about figuring out

103
00:08:06,340 --> 00:08:13,940
Well, what type of value can I bring to the lives of those that I'm with and what that also leads to is not only reciprocation

104
00:08:14,340 --> 00:08:16,340
But the opportunity to extend

105
00:08:16,340 --> 00:08:21,780
The relationship while at the event right go around and do things with people at the event hang out with them

106
00:08:22,180 --> 00:08:26,660
Uh organize a luncheon for instance one of the things that we did at this event

107
00:08:26,660 --> 00:08:31,540
Was we organized a paddle boarding trip small power paddle boarding trip wherever it was available

108
00:08:31,860 --> 00:08:34,740
It was kind of hard to squeeze in there was a lot going on at the conference

109
00:08:34,740 --> 00:08:40,180
But I knew that one of the things that I wanted to do at the event was make some time for balance

110
00:08:40,500 --> 00:08:45,780
Right, so I wanted to make sure that this experience took place during a time that wasn't conflicting with anything else

111
00:08:45,940 --> 00:08:49,060
The only time slot available was right after the event

112
00:08:49,460 --> 00:08:53,620
I knew some people would be like, you know, oh well Jackson, I would love to go on this paddle boarding trip

113
00:08:53,620 --> 00:08:58,260
But we're tired. Well, that's exactly why we went right so me

114
00:08:58,900 --> 00:09:00,100
Jane

115
00:09:00,100 --> 00:09:05,380
Alyssa and Vic Wheeler all went to this paddle boarding experience and

116
00:09:06,260 --> 00:09:11,940
All of us felt so rejuvenated. I asked them, you know, while we were out there like, what's your favorite take away from the event?

117
00:09:11,940 --> 00:09:17,620
What's the favorite thing that you've done and uh, you know, I felt so honored that all of them were like this

118
00:09:18,100 --> 00:09:21,060
This is it. This is the most amazing thing that that we've done this week

119
00:09:21,060 --> 00:09:24,820
Uh, and I was like, yeah, like awesome. Cool. We did the right thing, right?

120
00:09:25,060 --> 00:09:28,340
But seriously, we come back from that event um for that activity

121
00:09:29,220 --> 00:09:31,220
And now we're like centered in balance with nature

122
00:09:31,460 --> 00:09:36,820
We've had an opportunity to unplug we've had an opportunity to appreciate the environment with which we were in in Austin

123
00:09:37,140 --> 00:09:41,460
Get out of the skyscraper so to speak and and it was able to just kind of add

124
00:09:41,860 --> 00:09:47,540
I add the cherry on top right of the the ice cream sundae that we got to have for the week at this kajabi event

125
00:09:47,620 --> 00:09:50,260
so, um, you know organizing a little event

126
00:09:50,260 --> 00:09:55,380
Um, it doesn't have to cost a lot. You don't have to incentivize people, you know to to go do that

127
00:09:55,860 --> 00:09:59,620
Uh, it does take a little bit of effort right to get people the information network now

128
00:10:00,100 --> 00:10:04,100
The other cool thing is there was dozens and dozens of other people who couldn't go

129
00:10:04,820 --> 00:10:10,260
But kind of get to vicariously experience that through the friends that did go, um, you know

130
00:10:10,260 --> 00:10:13,700
And whether they end up walking away saying like man, I wish I would have gone to that

131
00:10:13,700 --> 00:10:20,020
I should definitely connect and catch up with them later. Um, you know, or they're thinking man next year when this happens

132
00:10:20,420 --> 00:10:24,820
I gotta make sure I make time for that. Um, that that's one of those

133
00:10:26,580 --> 00:10:30,740
Realities is the event isn't just about what happens in the here and now

134
00:10:31,300 --> 00:10:35,780
It's about planting seeds for the future of your relationships, right? So I got to meet

135
00:10:36,420 --> 00:10:38,660
the CEO of kajabi, um, ahad

136
00:10:39,380 --> 00:10:40,820
and become

137
00:10:40,820 --> 00:10:42,580
powerfully quick

138
00:10:42,580 --> 00:10:46,580
acquaintance friends with him, um, right whether he considers me a friend or acquaintance

139
00:10:46,740 --> 00:10:52,820
I don't know if I put them on uh on the spot on a stage I guarantee you, uh, he would say friends, um, and

140
00:10:53,380 --> 00:10:59,460
There's there's a lot of truth to that because we know that being involved in this environment, right doing what we're doing

141
00:10:59,780 --> 00:11:01,220
There's so much

142
00:11:01,220 --> 00:11:04,980
Synergistic overlap and harmony in what we're doing that it makes it easy to know that okay

143
00:11:05,300 --> 00:11:07,140
I got a friend here anytime I need it

144
00:11:07,140 --> 00:11:13,700
But what will facilitate an even stronger friendship what will help build on that is as I show up in the kajabi community

145
00:11:14,180 --> 00:11:22,580
Helping others right being a servant to those who I've met at this event as I continue to talk about the benefits of kajabi as well

146
00:11:22,820 --> 00:11:25,620
Um, we have an affiliate link that will eventually put out

147
00:11:25,860 --> 00:11:31,940
Um, you know, we'll be paid for people who end up joining kajabi. Um, but that's also something that's like the back burner, right?

148
00:11:31,940 --> 00:11:34,580
You go to these events you get affiliate opportunities

149
00:11:34,580 --> 00:11:39,540
And if you're seeking it for the affiliation right for the commission, then you're not going to do very well

150
00:11:39,940 --> 00:11:43,220
but if you're utilizing that as a mechanism to

151
00:11:43,700 --> 00:11:45,540
Perhaps drive a little bit of additional revenue

152
00:11:45,540 --> 00:11:49,380
But because you know the value of the tool and you're helping people guide

153
00:11:49,620 --> 00:11:55,460
I got helping guide people through that process of of uh leveling up what it is that they do then

154
00:11:56,020 --> 00:12:01,460
Uh, it becomes a very powerful asset. Um an experience. So that's one side of it

155
00:12:01,460 --> 00:12:06,420
Then as we go to the next kajabi event, um, you know, which should be next year once again

156
00:12:06,660 --> 00:12:13,460
My relationship with a hud becomes that much stronger because now, you know, we're showing up in multiple places if they do

157
00:12:14,180 --> 00:12:17,460
Masterminds at corporate office, which I've heard that they're going to start doing soon

158
00:12:18,260 --> 00:12:23,300
Then thank you. Uh, hi me. This is awesome. So hi me is now pulling up some of the photos from the event

159
00:12:23,780 --> 00:12:26,180
Feel free to interrupt me anytime hi man and jump on the mic

160
00:12:26,180 --> 00:12:31,380
Um, but this is uh, this is a session with priya for instance that session right before there he is

161
00:12:31,380 --> 00:12:36,900
There's a hud marusha. There's some great people in that photo. There's brennan brashard speaking at the events

162
00:12:37,220 --> 00:12:39,700
Um, and I didn't get to know brennan brashard personally

163
00:12:40,260 --> 00:12:43,220
I look forward to it. Um, he reminds me a lot of me

164
00:12:43,700 --> 00:12:48,180
Um, he's like always getting out there and and i'm excited to be following along his path

165
00:12:48,260 --> 00:12:54,180
And I know it's like lebron james st. Michael jordan, uh, you know, it reminds him of him. Well, that's okay like own it, bro

166
00:12:54,180 --> 00:12:56,820
Um, you know own the path that you're on

167
00:12:57,460 --> 00:13:01,540
Brennan brashard, you know started with with a whole lot of uphill battles

168
00:13:01,620 --> 00:13:05,300
And you know one of the big things for him is he just got on the got on the microphone

169
00:13:05,380 --> 00:13:11,540
And he just turned his little lights on you know and started presenting to the world and he makes some funny comments about that

170
00:13:11,620 --> 00:13:15,220
But he was working, uh, you know initially very broke

171
00:13:15,460 --> 00:13:21,060
Um, you know what he was doing and vulnerably putting himself out there and driving success in his book out there

172
00:13:21,060 --> 00:13:26,580
And it you know it took a lot of a lot of systems falling into place and a lot of effort

173
00:13:26,900 --> 00:13:29,940
Um, you know a lot of learning how to influence people to get to where

174
00:13:30,580 --> 00:13:34,020
His businesses got to a scalable position. Um, you know, we started doing

175
00:13:34,500 --> 00:13:38,260
Million-dollar launches over and over and over and he figured out you know how to do that

176
00:13:38,340 --> 00:13:41,380
It wasn't something that happened overnight, but he did share a story

177
00:13:41,860 --> 00:13:43,540
um about

178
00:13:43,540 --> 00:13:46,420
his sweet significant other coming home

179
00:13:46,420 --> 00:13:53,940
Uh laying in bed and and you know his his bed was an extension of his office and there she was laying underneath

180
00:13:54,420 --> 00:13:57,060
Uh, you know the bills of his bills that were overdue

181
00:13:57,540 --> 00:14:02,580
Um, and you know the powerful influence and impact that that had on his desire to provide

182
00:14:02,980 --> 00:14:04,740
Um for those that he

183
00:14:04,740 --> 00:14:09,700
Works. Oh, that was a really cool experience. Um, I will need to look up her name

184
00:14:09,780 --> 00:14:11,780
but the the lady that I was um

185
00:14:11,780 --> 00:14:18,260
Uh hugging right there and that was so funny. We had a meeting scheduled for the week of kajabi that we had both accidentally booked

186
00:14:18,340 --> 00:14:23,140
There she is. Um, so let me see if I can look that up real quick because uh, we had met

187
00:14:24,260 --> 00:14:27,220
Very briefly through a podcasting event that took place

188
00:14:27,780 --> 00:14:34,580
The week before kajabi. All right, so I knew that I had actually overlapped and booked some appointments for

189
00:14:35,300 --> 00:14:38,340
Uh, man, where is that meeting? I wish I I had it on hand

190
00:14:38,740 --> 00:14:39,780
um

191
00:14:39,780 --> 00:14:42,980
But we found ourselves sitting two tables apart

192
00:14:43,460 --> 00:14:48,900
I sat with her co-founder and I'm like wait a second. I like I'll have a meeting with you guys tomorrow that I'm supposed to call on cancel

193
00:14:49,140 --> 00:14:52,420
Um, so because I'm not gonna be able to do it here. Anyway, we ended up meeting at the event

194
00:14:52,420 --> 00:14:55,300
We met like a thousand people at this event and next thing you know

195
00:14:55,300 --> 00:14:59,060
Like we're in the same room the day before our meeting get in to meet each other in person

196
00:14:59,460 --> 00:15:02,660
Um, and I look forward to hosting her on vision pros live as well

197
00:15:02,740 --> 00:15:07,620
They have a really cool tool for what they're up to helping podcasters. Uh distribute their podcast and

198
00:15:07,620 --> 00:15:12,260
um, ultimately streamline the process of improving

199
00:15:12,900 --> 00:15:14,020
how the

200
00:15:14,020 --> 00:15:15,460
the post

201
00:15:15,460 --> 00:15:19,940
Show episodes um move forward and get distributed. So there's jared

202
00:15:20,660 --> 00:15:26,660
Jared is the uh vp of experience for kajabi and he had his own podcast. There's a moon. Yeah, he'll be coming out in the show as well

203
00:15:27,140 --> 00:15:33,380
um, but taking the time to connect with people and promote who they are right getting them more exposure for what they're doing

204
00:15:33,380 --> 00:15:38,260
That's ultimately what roberto and a lot of these these other individuals who are at the event

205
00:15:38,660 --> 00:15:41,140
Are looking for is they want to make a bigger impact on the world?

206
00:15:41,140 --> 00:15:45,700
So I've set up a podcast stage while they're um, you know in my room

207
00:15:46,180 --> 00:15:48,020
You know, I set it up in my room

208
00:15:48,020 --> 00:15:52,980
Fortunately, I had a beautiful view of the city and the the river so it made it easy to attract people to want to come back

209
00:15:52,980 --> 00:15:55,540
To the room and and take this look at that picture. It's just beautiful

210
00:15:56,020 --> 00:16:02,100
Um, and so we did the episode right there. We thought we shot some great photo photography for the individuals

211
00:16:02,100 --> 00:16:06,340
Thank you to google phones. Um, because I'm not much of a photographer

212
00:16:06,740 --> 00:16:11,460
Um lucia we did her interview in spanish for her company based in colombia

213
00:16:11,940 --> 00:16:16,340
Uh, that does some awesome things with tourism and history and it got great youtube

214
00:16:16,340 --> 00:16:20,020
They got two youtube channels with like 25 000 subscribers on the youtube channels

215
00:16:20,340 --> 00:16:25,060
That's just one. Um, and that is one of the other cool things about these events. Is there people?

216
00:16:25,860 --> 00:16:30,100
Uh at these events who are now very very big social media

217
00:16:30,100 --> 00:16:36,980
Uh influencers and you don't know who has an audience of what size on news putting what out into the world

218
00:16:36,980 --> 00:16:44,260
You might be talking to somebody that has a half a million subscribers on youtube or a half a million followers on facebook

219
00:16:44,740 --> 00:16:46,980
Uh, that became very true when I found myself

220
00:16:47,540 --> 00:16:50,820
connecting with ala of ala's yummy food

221
00:16:51,220 --> 00:16:55,940
Um, and she's got not only an incredible following, but she's got these amazing recipes

222
00:16:55,940 --> 00:17:03,300
Um and amazing videos of the cakes and the desserts that she teaches people how to make and we became super good friends

223
00:17:03,780 --> 00:17:07,780
Um just by having attended this event and at the end of the day

224
00:17:08,420 --> 00:17:10,420
That's also what these

225
00:17:10,740 --> 00:17:14,340
Conferences are all about. Um, you know, it's an it's a great opportunity to rejuvenate

226
00:17:15,060 --> 00:17:18,420
Your your love and your belief in your career as well

227
00:17:19,380 --> 00:17:22,820
So I mentioned a little bit about qr codes and opt-ins

228
00:17:22,820 --> 00:17:29,300
Uh highway feel free to use this as a guinea pig on that as well. We only got enough done with that to be dangerous

229
00:17:29,780 --> 00:17:35,140
Um, you know, we've got we've got these qr codes all established and as we showcase these on the screen

230
00:17:35,140 --> 00:17:37,700
And if you need me to send you the link, I may don't hesitate to ask

231
00:17:38,100 --> 00:17:44,020
Um, you know, we're like trying to get qr codes for able health for vision pros for open eyes to the work for Latinos

232
00:17:44,260 --> 00:17:48,820
um for uh the power launch for our webinar for the ebook

233
00:17:48,820 --> 00:17:52,260
Um, like there's so many different things that we and I was like, you know what?

234
00:17:52,980 --> 00:17:55,220
Maybe a good qr code an easy one would be

235
00:17:55,860 --> 00:17:58,100
A message for facebook, right?

236
00:17:58,100 --> 00:18:02,500
Just get people to where it opens automatically the ability to send me a message on facebook

237
00:18:02,900 --> 00:18:07,380
Because that's where they can most authentically connect with me where I know i'm going to get that notification

238
00:18:07,780 --> 00:18:11,940
I'm going to see it. Um, and i'm going to be able to respond to them and they can send me a friend request

239
00:18:12,740 --> 00:18:16,820
Because my team and our systems are constantly sending friend requests out there

240
00:18:16,820 --> 00:18:20,500
So we have to be careful about the threshold of friend requests that I send

241
00:18:20,900 --> 00:18:24,900
Um, due to the amount of people that we're constantly connecting to I was like if I can get people

242
00:18:25,460 --> 00:18:31,940
To send me the first message on facebook, then that'll make it very easy for me to stay in touch with them

243
00:18:32,180 --> 00:18:38,100
Um, I make sure that we foster and build a long-term relationship. So um, let's see here. Hi, may

244
00:18:38,580 --> 00:18:44,340
Uh qr codes opt-in pages. Let me know if I need to to pull that up. You can come on on the mic and let me know

245
00:18:44,340 --> 00:18:46,340
Um, I've got those links

246
00:18:46,500 --> 00:18:48,500
As well. Hey, buddy. Hey

247
00:18:49,220 --> 00:18:51,220
Hey, I'm not gonna I sent you

248
00:18:54,180 --> 00:18:58,900
Yeah, no, no, go ahead and share yourself. Um, I I shared some

249
00:19:02,340 --> 00:19:04,340
You shared some links what?

250
00:19:06,020 --> 00:19:11,460
Um, I shared some links on screen where you can create those uh cure links, uh, but

251
00:19:11,460 --> 00:19:17,300
Go ahead and oh cool. Let's pull it up. Let me see here. I had to stream. I got it. All right, so

252
00:19:18,020 --> 00:19:22,500
qr champ, okay, you got the google thing there. Do you know what our team used for our qr codes?

253
00:19:24,740 --> 00:19:27,780
I I don't know but it's it's one of these pages

254
00:19:29,060 --> 00:19:32,580
Okay, no, that's fair. We'll find out guys. We'll drop it in the comments afterwards

255
00:19:33,060 --> 00:19:37,540
Um, you know, I like I said, I took the screenshots and I sent them over. Let me pull it up on my phone

256
00:19:37,540 --> 00:19:44,420
Um, so one of the one of the tools they use to create our virtual presence and again, it's not bad to have it

257
00:19:45,300 --> 00:19:49,140
I just recommend don't rely on it, you know, like don't force it down people's throats

258
00:19:49,460 --> 00:19:54,500
And it's more better. It's a better idea to get their information too because then you're in control of the follow-up

259
00:19:55,220 --> 00:19:59,060
Right, if you don't get their information, you're just giving yours out giving yours out giving yours out giving yours out

260
00:19:59,540 --> 00:20:03,540
And people don't have to discipline it follow up typically or they get distracted, right?

261
00:20:03,540 --> 00:20:07,700
Four day event meeting a thousand creators who are amazing, you know, or maybe just a dozen

262
00:20:08,340 --> 00:20:14,180
But it's like what's the likelihood of them remembering the impact you had in your 15 second or your five minute meeting

263
00:20:14,500 --> 00:20:15,620
It's kind of low

264
00:20:15,620 --> 00:20:20,580
So it's nice to be able to connect to people on your own terms and nurture them along as as one should so

265
00:20:21,460 --> 00:20:23,460
One of the one of the resources

266
00:20:24,100 --> 00:20:29,780
That we created okay marusha for instance. Oh man, she's amazing at facebook communities

267
00:20:29,780 --> 00:20:34,660
I highly recommend connecting with her. She uses blink dot me. That's blin

268
00:20:35,620 --> 00:20:44,020
Q dot me and and her system. I thought was a little bit nicer than the ones that I adopted into and created

269
00:20:44,740 --> 00:20:46,900
so we utilized a program called

270
00:20:48,900 --> 00:20:58,260
Hi, hello dot me h i h e double l o dot me and that allowed me to like get a picture on there

271
00:20:58,260 --> 00:21:02,100
And who I am and the different links I might want to send to people

272
00:21:02,580 --> 00:21:07,300
So that was uh, that was a nifty little tool and it says this is your card, right?

273
00:21:07,620 --> 00:21:13,940
and we could create multiple tools for the multiple entities that I might want people to

274
00:21:14,900 --> 00:21:18,500
To go check out whether that was again able health or vision pros

275
00:21:18,980 --> 00:21:20,340
meanwhile

276
00:21:20,340 --> 00:21:24,500
We had this idea like the team's kind of communicating with me in between sessions and I'm like guys

277
00:21:24,500 --> 00:21:31,140
Let's create like a list of all the qr codes and one page so that I can quickly go to them and zoom in

278
00:21:31,620 --> 00:21:37,940
And so they did they created this platform where I could go through all the different qr codes of the different assets that we had

279
00:21:38,500 --> 00:21:40,100
um, and

280
00:21:40,100 --> 00:21:42,660
Again, that was just us experimenting and seeing all right

281
00:21:43,380 --> 00:21:45,380
but what type of value

282
00:21:45,700 --> 00:21:48,660
Should we be putting in front of people? Um, and at the end of the day

283
00:21:49,380 --> 00:21:52,500
The big secret behind that is the value of your love

284
00:21:52,500 --> 00:21:54,500
All right the value of how much you care

285
00:21:54,820 --> 00:21:59,220
All right the value of diving into their materials and seeing like all right. What are they all about?

286
00:21:59,220 --> 00:22:01,220
So here I was

287
00:22:01,300 --> 00:22:05,860
Opting into their funnels having my team opt-in sending certain ones back to my team and saying hey guys

288
00:22:05,860 --> 00:22:07,860
Can you opt into this a great example? That is john?

289
00:22:08,500 --> 00:22:12,100
John created a program called courses dot AI

290
00:22:12,740 --> 00:22:15,940
um, and that courses dot. I he's also one of the original

291
00:22:16,500 --> 00:22:18,500
template builders for kajabi

292
00:22:18,500 --> 00:22:20,500
Um as a third party entity

293
00:22:20,500 --> 00:22:23,700
But courses dot AI was a way to combine the

294
00:22:24,340 --> 00:22:27,140
prevalence and powers of systems like chat gpt

295
00:22:27,700 --> 00:22:29,700
With the ability to create a course

296
00:22:30,580 --> 00:22:31,940
quickly

297
00:22:31,940 --> 00:22:36,420
Um, so that you're not getting sucked into the weeds of the operation and the structure

298
00:22:36,820 --> 00:22:43,460
As much as you're able to focus on the value that you can provide to others while not getting bogged down by how am I going to structure this?

299
00:22:44,020 --> 00:22:47,380
Um, so I I've sent that to my team a couple times and I've been like

300
00:22:47,380 --> 00:22:53,140
All right. Um, hi may amon well. Can you guys opt into this and try this out and test it?

301
00:22:53,140 --> 00:22:58,340
And let's see what types of things in fact hi may I'd love to see us test that with open eyes the

302
00:22:58,900 --> 00:23:02,660
Right with opportunities for work for latinos. That would be a great

303
00:23:03,540 --> 00:23:06,740
tool to utilize that for because if we can create

304
00:23:07,300 --> 00:23:10,740
mini courses for people to learn how to find work

305
00:23:11,620 --> 00:23:14,500
And and learn how to pass the course

306
00:23:14,500 --> 00:23:18,180
Um, and and learn how to pass their interviews

307
00:23:18,740 --> 00:23:25,140
Um and do so in a way that is streamlined then we're more effectively utilizing our resources to help people at scale

308
00:23:25,540 --> 00:23:28,420
Um, and that's something that I'm not going to have the time

309
00:23:28,900 --> 00:23:33,060
Um and bandwidth to create attention for uh very soon. Excuse me. I have to sneeze

310
00:23:36,340 --> 00:23:41,780
Oh fake out. Okay. It's gone. Um, so yeah, welcome to recording live

311
00:23:41,780 --> 00:23:43,780
All right, so um

312
00:23:45,140 --> 00:23:48,100
Again another point everyone's a social social media guru

313
00:23:48,660 --> 00:23:51,700
That also means that follow-up is far more diverse these days

314
00:23:51,780 --> 00:23:57,300
So if you're going and connecting especially at a conference, that's a little bit more techy or that uses technology

315
00:23:57,700 --> 00:23:59,700
you know expect people to

316
00:24:00,500 --> 00:24:03,140
Not do business the traditional way

317
00:24:03,700 --> 00:24:08,500
Um, it's pretty obvious. Some people are like anti-email these days. That is weird

318
00:24:08,500 --> 00:24:12,980
That is like super hard for this old guy to comprehend. Um, you know, it's like

319
00:24:13,700 --> 00:24:17,060
Everybody's supposed to use email. Um, you know, and you do have to have it

320
00:24:17,060 --> 00:24:18,660
But in terms of like a follow-up

321
00:24:18,660 --> 00:24:22,900
Reality like a lot of people want to talk on instagram like I'll be honest

322
00:24:23,460 --> 00:24:28,340
I don't I didn't really know how to navigate instagram messages very well because I'm not an instagramer

323
00:24:28,420 --> 00:24:30,740
You know, I've now it looks like I am because I got more posts

324
00:24:30,740 --> 00:24:35,300
But I had like I don't know 350 friends of mine had followed me on instagram

325
00:24:35,300 --> 00:24:42,180
And I had followed like two people and I only had three photos on my instagram for like six years

326
00:24:42,660 --> 00:24:47,620
Um, and I was like, why are people following me on a platform that I don't have anything on this is weird

327
00:24:48,020 --> 00:24:51,220
Um, but again, like I said, I've learned to adopt

328
00:24:52,180 --> 00:24:58,180
different social media channels because there's people who you know, like that's that's where they're comfortable being contacted

329
00:24:58,180 --> 00:25:02,900
That's it. Some people want a message on linkedin. Some people want a message on instagram. Some people

330
00:25:02,900 --> 00:25:09,060
Uh, you know want to stay in the know on tiktok that people want to email some people are comfortable with the phone call

331
00:25:09,140 --> 00:25:13,540
Some people want a text message. There's so many different methods of communication these days

332
00:25:14,020 --> 00:25:19,060
Um, and you know, if you if you want to have an influence, um, you know, it's scale

333
00:25:19,620 --> 00:25:26,900
Right if you're trying to reach more people then it's important to be reachable on the platforms where they hang out the most

334
00:25:27,380 --> 00:25:29,380
um, and again, it used to be more streamlined between

335
00:25:29,940 --> 00:25:31,940
phone and email

336
00:25:31,940 --> 00:25:38,980
Um, but it's very important to be available for your audience. So let's see. So hi mays got a trailer ready for us

337
00:25:39,140 --> 00:25:43,300
um, what I did at the event one of the things that really helped us stand apart and

338
00:25:44,020 --> 00:25:46,020
Meet more people with purpose

339
00:25:46,260 --> 00:25:51,060
as I talked about vision pros live and how we want to have them hosted on vision pros and we wanted to create some

340
00:25:51,460 --> 00:25:54,180
teaser reels and do those interviews so without further ado

341
00:25:54,820 --> 00:25:58,900
We're going to play the trailer of some of the teaser interviews that I did while at the event

342
00:25:58,900 --> 00:26:02,820
And if you want me to come to your event and do teasers like this by all means, I'd be happy to

343
00:26:03,220 --> 00:26:05,220
Let's see it. Let's do this. Hi may

344
00:26:05,940 --> 00:26:11,460
Another big thing I love about it is you're not driving people towards it becomes $7 million winners in 30 minutes

345
00:26:11,620 --> 00:26:12,260
Sure

346
00:26:12,260 --> 00:26:15,540
All right, you've got let me help you make a thousand dollars per month

347
00:26:16,740 --> 00:26:21,780
One question I have about it is in just 30 minutes a day over what time frame? That's a fair question

348
00:26:21,860 --> 00:26:26,740
It's variable, right? Because the bigger question I would get is like how how much time do I have to commit to this?

349
00:26:26,740 --> 00:26:33,140
I want to work or already have a service-based business. So they're thinking I don't have time to start something

350
00:26:33,540 --> 00:26:37,780
So that was the pain point of like, well, I'm gonna teach you what to do in so by the way

351
00:26:38,180 --> 00:26:43,620
We're testing some things right now. That's that's Graham Cochran. Um, I think he's got a few million followers

352
00:26:44,260 --> 00:26:48,180
We brought him in with a couple of his clients to interview him and then about how they felt

353
00:26:49,860 --> 00:26:52,740
And she does a lot she's locked the in recipes

354
00:26:52,740 --> 00:26:58,660
There's a lot of cakes, cakes, cheesecake, sponge cakes, loose cakes, whatever you want

355
00:26:58,740 --> 00:27:01,940
She's one of my new besties. I have very very much meaning

356
00:27:03,300 --> 00:27:08,260
So we're gonna have her on the show down the road and so make sure to do because we're gonna learn about the recipe

357
00:27:08,260 --> 00:27:10,740
She has you know how many followers on the instagram like a billion

358
00:27:11,300 --> 00:27:13,300
Yeah, just put two billion. It's fine, you know

359
00:27:13,940 --> 00:27:17,780
I'm very casual. She's super cool and she has more followers than I can count

360
00:27:18,260 --> 00:27:22,340
And uh, anyway, we're gonna have we're gonna have some fun at the kajabi event and we will see her on the episode later

361
00:27:22,340 --> 00:27:24,340
I'm here

362
00:27:24,340 --> 00:27:29,300
Tell me about what you do because from what I understand I read this book called rocket fuel and it talks about the visionary

363
00:27:30,420 --> 00:27:31,220
All right

364
00:27:31,220 --> 00:27:35,380
And I'm gonna pause it just in case because on my side the quality wasn't coming through very well

365
00:27:35,860 --> 00:27:41,300
Um, and so if it was coming through well, you got a sneak peek an idea of how it goes if uh, it didn't come through very well

366
00:27:41,300 --> 00:27:44,340
Well, uh, that's learning the art of broadcasting live

367
00:27:44,660 --> 00:27:50,820
um, and probably has a little bit to do with the the internet in columbia right now as well as the uh

368
00:27:50,820 --> 00:27:57,060
Uh, perhaps that's not the highest quality version of those clips, but those clips allowed us to um

369
00:27:57,460 --> 00:27:59,860
Get some teaser reels that are super high quality

370
00:28:00,100 --> 00:28:06,340
We'll be able to promote those and all of our different social media channels in a way that's effective for those individuals to get a little bit more

371
00:28:06,820 --> 00:28:09,220
Uh connected to our brands before we host them

372
00:28:09,700 --> 00:28:14,820
Um, and then each one of those people will be able to host on vision pros live and create further exposure and create

373
00:28:15,300 --> 00:28:20,260
Um, ultimately better relationships with each one of them. So um, that is that is one of the uh

374
00:28:20,260 --> 00:28:23,620
the fun hacks of people who do have a

375
00:28:24,180 --> 00:28:27,620
Audience that they like to go live with or they have a podcast that they're putting out there

376
00:28:28,180 --> 00:28:30,980
utilize those conferences as an opportunity to

377
00:28:31,940 --> 00:28:34,020
Do those uh pre interview segments

378
00:28:34,020 --> 00:28:37,140
So i'm not i'm not talking about going to the event doing a 45 minute version

379
00:28:37,380 --> 00:28:43,220
talking about going to the event and doing a one minute version to 15 minute version with graham cochran

380
00:28:43,300 --> 00:28:47,380
It was more of a 15 minute setup because we had a couple of his clients and we wanted to find out

381
00:28:47,380 --> 00:28:50,100
You know their stories what has graham done for you?

382
00:28:50,580 --> 00:28:52,580
um, and then the

383
00:28:52,660 --> 00:28:58,660
Environment was so comfortable uh in my room with that beautiful view that we kind of just sat around and talked with each other a little bit

384
00:28:58,980 --> 00:29:02,260
and him and I have a very very large overlap in terms of balance

385
00:29:02,900 --> 00:29:07,860
And and showing up as fathers in the world too. So it was it was just such an awesome opportunity to have them come up at

386
00:29:07,940 --> 00:29:09,940
atm and do that and then uh

387
00:29:10,020 --> 00:29:14,740
Then with other people like uh, a la we'll have a bigger interview later

388
00:29:14,740 --> 00:29:20,340
But we just took the time right there in the and where it was all the people around us to quickly talk about what she did

389
00:29:20,820 --> 00:29:25,380
Value and it creates these teaser reels. It creates these aha moments or people like oh man

390
00:29:25,460 --> 00:29:28,580
I can't wait to see that episode later. So a lot of ways to

391
00:29:29,140 --> 00:29:32,660
Leverage your presence. Um, you know when you're never getting with people now

392
00:29:32,660 --> 00:29:36,500
One of the things that i've seen that people have really advanced on to a certain degree is

393
00:29:36,980 --> 00:29:43,140
They're taking pictures with people and they're posting those on social media and tagging each other when I was doing events in

394
00:29:43,140 --> 00:29:47,620
2012 almost nobody was doing that. So it was a great way to to stand out

395
00:29:47,620 --> 00:29:51,300
Well, you'll still stand out because there's people who will do that to an extent

396
00:29:51,380 --> 00:29:54,340
But there's so many more levels you can take. So if you want to have

397
00:29:54,820 --> 00:30:00,820
Super success in an event and you really want to stand out, um, you know for the sake of gathering the right relationships

398
00:30:01,620 --> 00:30:06,260
One of the best things you can do as well is as speakers are on stage

399
00:30:06,660 --> 00:30:09,780
Make sure to take pictures and make especially if you want to connect with the speakers

400
00:30:10,260 --> 00:30:12,260
Take pictures that make them look great

401
00:30:12,260 --> 00:30:13,700
and

402
00:30:13,700 --> 00:30:19,060
Create fortune cookie posts. I call them right so take just one or two lines that they say

403
00:30:19,460 --> 00:30:21,460
That's of powerful impact to you

404
00:30:21,940 --> 00:30:23,940
And share that line

405
00:30:24,100 --> 00:30:27,140
Um, you know with that screenshot or with that person's picture

406
00:30:27,620 --> 00:30:29,620
Share that on twitter or share that on linkedin

407
00:30:30,260 --> 00:30:35,060
You can share it where their greatest audience is if you want their existing audience to see it

408
00:30:35,140 --> 00:30:39,540
Or if you have a platform where you have a large following and they're not quite as known

409
00:30:39,540 --> 00:30:45,140
Now you're expanding their reach for them and that's that's one of the best ways to honor

410
00:30:45,620 --> 00:30:48,820
Those that you love that are in the game of distribution

411
00:30:49,140 --> 00:30:52,900
Meaning they're in the game of wanting to be seen and heard now

412
00:30:53,540 --> 00:30:55,540
There's two sides to this coin

413
00:30:55,860 --> 00:30:58,820
There's somebody who spoke that I actually really like her a lot

414
00:30:59,140 --> 00:31:04,100
She did an excellent job and in was ellen and she spoke about strategic partnerships one of the best

415
00:31:04,100 --> 00:31:12,020
Plans I've ever seen laid out for strategic partnerships and closing like sponsorship style deals and keeping yourself protected in that scenario

416
00:31:12,100 --> 00:31:15,380
And she talked about just networking with one to two people

417
00:31:16,020 --> 00:31:20,260
And ultimately what she was also getting at was making sure that your connections are genuine

418
00:31:20,260 --> 00:31:25,300
You're not just shifting through people, you know and just touching as many people as possible just to get a touch point in

419
00:31:25,300 --> 00:31:29,700
Like that's awkward. That's weird to get what she was saying and at the same time

420
00:31:30,260 --> 00:31:33,220
I would say there's a harmony that exists between the two. Okay

421
00:31:33,220 --> 00:31:38,180
So I don't want to just walk up to the first two people I see in the event and say they're going to be my best friends

422
00:31:38,420 --> 00:31:41,140
There's still some purpose that has to be be driven there

423
00:31:41,140 --> 00:31:46,740
So if you're going to an event you do want to filter through enough people to gather what I call the low hanging fruit

424
00:31:47,460 --> 00:31:48,980
opportunities the people who

425
00:31:48,980 --> 00:31:54,340
Resonate with you the best and sometimes that means having quick conversations with a bunch of different people

426
00:31:54,900 --> 00:31:58,580
So that you can then evaluate and go back and say, all right, which one of these people can I help the most?

427
00:31:58,580 --> 00:32:04,420
Which one of these people would be the best type of strategic partner, right? And if you don't take the time to

428
00:32:05,220 --> 00:32:11,540
Explore the masses so to speak and go through and see wow who really resonates with me then you may not end up

429
00:32:12,660 --> 00:32:19,540
Gravitating towards the people who are most effective for the experience. So there is there's two sides to that coin

430
00:32:20,420 --> 00:32:25,140
One side again hustling too much and pushing people away the other side

431
00:32:25,140 --> 00:32:30,260
Uh boxing yourself in before knowing your environment and knowing who's in it

432
00:32:30,820 --> 00:32:35,940
There's a happy medium to be had in that so if you're networking if you're going to a networking event

433
00:32:35,940 --> 00:32:38,180
Or you just went to one you've got an idea in the comment

434
00:32:38,260 --> 00:32:43,220
You've got an idea drop in the comments. Um, let us know. What are some of the tricks of the trade for you?

435
00:32:43,700 --> 00:32:47,860
Um, you know, what are some of the important elements that we can remember to take advantage of?

436
00:32:48,260 --> 00:32:50,420
Um, I may if you go to my instagram as well

437
00:32:51,060 --> 00:32:53,060
You might be able to pull up

438
00:32:53,060 --> 00:32:54,100
the

439
00:32:54,100 --> 00:32:56,100
The 3d video thing that we did

440
00:32:56,740 --> 00:33:00,180
You'll notice that I did that with marusha and heather hardgrove

441
00:33:00,740 --> 00:33:05,620
And one reason why is I don't like selfies. I don't I don't like to take pictures of myself

442
00:33:06,100 --> 00:33:09,860
I like to be with other people so I told them I was like, hey, I booked a session come on out with me

443
00:33:09,860 --> 00:33:14,820
And let's do this together and so uh, we suck out during the session. We went and did our our 3d photo

444
00:33:14,820 --> 00:33:18,340
We did the oh it was so much fun. It was way more fun to do that

445
00:33:18,340 --> 00:33:24,340
Uh photo session with friends even on their brand new friends and it gave us some memory too to think back on

446
00:33:24,340 --> 00:33:29,700
I'm like, we did that together. That was fun. So, um, you know create experiences

447
00:33:30,260 --> 00:33:34,340
That allow you to have other people involved. This is fun. All right, I

448
00:33:35,540 --> 00:33:40,980
These are these sessions these photo sessions are so silly. Um, and uh, yeah the guy who

449
00:33:41,460 --> 00:33:46,820
Who is doing this we're having fun talking about the business model behind it and how much money they make by doing these

450
00:33:46,820 --> 00:33:49,060
And then you got the little kajabi brain in the quarter

451
00:33:49,060 --> 00:33:53,940
So kajabi paid them a certain amount of money to have this really cool spinning photo thing that goes around

452
00:33:54,340 --> 00:33:57,940
um, but like how awkward would this have been for me to like

453
00:33:58,660 --> 00:34:02,420
Dance by myself, you know in this session like no way

454
00:34:02,900 --> 00:34:04,980
I did end up taking my own video will post later

455
00:34:05,060 --> 00:34:10,740
But the only reason I was able to and felt comfortable doing it is because I had my two friends there cheering me on saying like

456
00:34:10,980 --> 00:34:14,100
Yeah, like let's do this, you know come up with this idea. So, um,

457
00:34:14,100 --> 00:34:19,620
It made it a whole lot more fun to get out of your comfort zone and and to do things that you know

458
00:34:20,340 --> 00:34:26,100
promotional aspects that might otherwise be like, uh, I don't know if I want to do that by myself. Um

459
00:34:27,220 --> 00:34:31,940
All right, so some other aspects, you know, again, if you if you have some ideas for networking

460
00:34:32,420 --> 00:34:35,540
We would love to hear it in the comments. Tell us what what makes you

461
00:34:36,260 --> 00:34:38,260
successful in your networking capabilities

462
00:34:39,300 --> 00:34:41,700
I will again go back to the podcast interviews

463
00:34:41,700 --> 00:34:44,420
You don't even have to have a podcast to do an interview by the way

464
00:34:45,140 --> 00:34:49,780
You know, if you have a follower of one if you have one person who's listening and it can benefit from

465
00:34:50,260 --> 00:34:55,700
Distributing that person's voice. I hope that person values that one person as much as I do

466
00:34:55,940 --> 00:34:57,940
Um and as much as they should because those are real

467
00:34:58,500 --> 00:35:00,500
life individuals people who matter

468
00:35:00,900 --> 00:35:04,660
Um, and it doesn't matter if you reach 100 people or you reach one person

469
00:35:04,740 --> 00:35:07,860
That is one of the things that Brendan delivers with more grace than I do

470
00:35:07,860 --> 00:35:13,860
But it drives me a little bit crazy when people like don't value those who are listening in, you know, it's like

471
00:35:14,500 --> 00:35:16,500
Why would you not? You know, even if it is one person

472
00:35:16,500 --> 00:35:20,340
We've got a little eyeball on the top left corner of this podcast for instance

473
00:35:20,740 --> 00:35:23,860
And it says that we have one live viewer right now

474
00:35:24,260 --> 00:35:27,620
And if you're benefiting from the value that I'm putting down

475
00:35:28,260 --> 00:35:31,300
That's why it's worth it. That's what it's about for me

476
00:35:31,380 --> 00:35:36,580
I want to help you win and if we happen to have a few listeners who are like wow

477
00:35:36,580 --> 00:35:40,740
Um, I love what Jackson's doing and putting down and I want to have

478
00:35:41,540 --> 00:35:47,380
My brand distributed and I want to become a better networking and I want to have the assets built up around me and they want to buy from us

479
00:35:47,380 --> 00:35:52,100
That's fantastic too, right? That's awesome as well. That's that's additional value that exists

480
00:35:52,820 --> 00:35:57,780
But I do know that these these types of practices they take time to develop

481
00:35:57,940 --> 00:36:02,100
It takes time to snowball these opportunities. It takes time for people to realize wow

482
00:36:02,180 --> 00:36:03,860
He's not going to give up on this podcast thing

483
00:36:03,860 --> 00:36:08,740
He's got keep going and keep providing value and next thing you know, we're going to have more and more people

484
00:36:08,820 --> 00:36:11,060
Hosted on this show and we'll have more and more people

485
00:36:11,860 --> 00:36:15,060
Lying up to tune in live with us and to be on this broadcast

486
00:36:15,060 --> 00:36:17,860
We're going to have more and more people who recognize that oh, wow, that's actually a thing

487
00:36:18,420 --> 00:36:22,820
Um, you know, and maybe you didn't hear that during that segment because you tuned in late to the show

488
00:36:23,460 --> 00:36:27,220
It doesn't really you know, I don't really try to control

489
00:36:27,780 --> 00:36:32,340
The entire environment as much as we do strive to facilitate

490
00:36:32,340 --> 00:36:36,660
Uh an opportunity for everybody to learn and pick up value. Um, so

491
00:36:37,940 --> 00:36:39,940
QR codes and opt-ins

492
00:36:40,020 --> 00:36:42,820
Let's oh see let's here follow up this far more diverse these days

493
00:36:42,900 --> 00:36:47,140
We did talk about that and how again, I got people who only want to connect on instagram

494
00:36:47,220 --> 00:36:52,340
And now I'm sitting there figuring out like oh man, like how do I find that that message button again?

495
00:36:52,420 --> 00:36:57,300
Where I can actually like message people on here and how do I keep track of people on multiple channels?

496
00:36:57,860 --> 00:36:59,700
And there's different tools to be able to do that

497
00:36:59,700 --> 00:37:03,620
You know, we use go high level for one for our our primary

498
00:37:05,060 --> 00:37:07,940
client retention management or customer retention management system

499
00:37:08,500 --> 00:37:10,500
We also use a great program called flowchat

500
00:37:10,820 --> 00:37:15,460
And so Jaime and I were talking we've got a list of people that we fell in love with that

501
00:37:15,460 --> 00:37:18,580
We want to we want to promote coach read Tiffany Ramona

502
00:37:19,300 --> 00:37:23,940
Amunya Marusha Heather of all Graham and the list goes on and on there's so many people

503
00:37:24,580 --> 00:37:27,620
That that we want to follow up with and touch base with it's like, all right

504
00:37:27,620 --> 00:37:33,220
Um in order to manage these relationships properly and effectively in order to make sure that we're moving forward

505
00:37:33,860 --> 00:37:38,580
Sincerely and putting the right value down in front of each one of them as we move forward

506
00:37:39,220 --> 00:37:43,460
How are we going to go about making sure that everybody gets booked for their pre-show interview?

507
00:37:44,100 --> 00:37:46,020
How are we going to make sure that they get booked with me again?

508
00:37:46,100 --> 00:37:50,900
If we didn't get a teaser reel produced because I think that's an awesome opportunity. How are we going to help them see?

509
00:37:51,460 --> 00:37:53,460
um, you know what

510
00:37:53,460 --> 00:37:58,660
What it is that first-class business can do in order to help them maximize their message and get out there

511
00:37:59,060 --> 00:38:03,140
Um, how are we going to opt in and learn about what what resources they have available?

512
00:38:03,140 --> 00:38:08,020
And don't get me wrong. We have most of those paths figured out, you know in a process for each one

513
00:38:08,740 --> 00:38:16,500
Jaime and and the podcast presentation is a massive part of helping them realize like just how much value we can throw down on the front end

514
00:38:16,900 --> 00:38:22,580
Um, but we're always going to be looking at it and saying how do we make this even more effective?

515
00:38:22,580 --> 00:38:27,780
uh, more efficiently because at the end of the day each of the vision pros that we have on this show

516
00:38:28,500 --> 00:38:30,500
We're not just trying to

517
00:38:30,820 --> 00:38:34,420
Help them get involved with our audience. We're trying to help them

518
00:38:34,980 --> 00:38:39,460
Maximize the efficiency of which they can fulfill their own visions because while I love them as friends

519
00:38:39,780 --> 00:38:44,500
While I want to connect with them on a one-on-one level and have that opportunity year after year

520
00:38:44,900 --> 00:38:47,540
I don't want to selfishly hoard these visionaries

521
00:38:47,540 --> 00:38:53,540
I want them to be able to get out there to where they're like Allah who's got 500,000 followers on facebook

522
00:38:53,540 --> 00:38:57,620
And she needs to be empowered to be reaching them more often

523
00:38:58,260 --> 00:39:03,460
More effectively because they all rely on her for baking these amazing cakes that make people happy

524
00:39:03,780 --> 00:39:08,260
I mean all like cakes are a great thing. We need more cakes in this world in my opinion

525
00:39:08,660 --> 00:39:14,900
um, you know on the nutritional facts for instance, you know, there's a lot of important information on there the amount of uh

526
00:39:14,900 --> 00:39:21,060
Uh, I see that shows you how good I am with nutritional facts, but calories the amount of fats the amount of trans fats all that

527
00:39:21,060 --> 00:39:23,140
But where the heck is the happiness bar?

528
00:39:23,140 --> 00:39:28,420
You know like can I get an amen anybody want a happiness bar added to what you're eating? I do

529
00:39:28,900 --> 00:39:35,380
um, because if I'm eating a muffin or I'm eating a cake and it's making me happy like there's a nutritional value to that

530
00:39:35,380 --> 00:39:37,780
That's it's being unfairly misrepresented

531
00:39:38,340 --> 00:39:42,180
When you're looking at the calories and the vitamins and all that like uh, uh, man

532
00:39:42,180 --> 00:39:48,100
There there's some serious value that comes from being able to eat food that you love and are like wow

533
00:39:48,100 --> 00:39:53,300
This is some good stuff. So I'll is fulfilling the happiness bar that is not on a nutritional facts

534
00:39:53,700 --> 00:39:58,340
And she's doing so at a level that's scaled to half a million people already

535
00:39:58,980 --> 00:40:02,260
um, so like I said the the vision pros, you know

536
00:40:02,260 --> 00:40:07,780
Our our desire is to meet the visionary get them hosted and then release them

537
00:40:07,780 --> 00:40:13,940
You know into the wild so to speak like get them out as far as we can so they can keep helping people because we've got

538
00:40:13,940 --> 00:40:20,020
So many people on this earth who need so much help and you know the visionary entrepreneurs that we're hosting on this show

539
00:40:20,580 --> 00:40:27,380
They're the type of people who are putting down tremendous value to help people in life. Um, and uh, you know, whether that's again about cakes

540
00:40:27,380 --> 00:40:32,020
Or it's about business growth. It doesn't matter. Um, as long as it's providing sincere value

541
00:40:32,500 --> 00:40:36,180
Uh to those who will live on this earth with us. So hi me

542
00:40:36,180 --> 00:40:41,620
Um, I'm gonna bring you on any questions you have about networking or anything that you notice from this experience

543
00:40:42,100 --> 00:40:44,100
That you feel like I should cover for the audience

544
00:40:45,300 --> 00:40:52,500
Um, it's also like we're honoring the people that we are meeting so those meaningful connections are

545
00:40:53,140 --> 00:41:00,260
Obviously an honor for people that are coming into our lives people that we didn't know from before so these in person

546
00:41:00,980 --> 00:41:02,500
um

547
00:41:02,500 --> 00:41:06,100
What do you call it networks or networking that that is done?

548
00:41:06,260 --> 00:41:11,620
It's definitely a great opportunity to meet a person and in reality just have

549
00:41:12,340 --> 00:41:19,460
An authentic relationship built. So these are great opportunities always take a chance and go to these events

550
00:41:19,700 --> 00:41:25,700
I guess it's just given that invitation to to people to network and create those meaningful

551
00:41:26,420 --> 00:41:30,980
Um, those meaningful relationships with people and so with that

552
00:41:30,980 --> 00:41:39,540
I also wanted to provide a special invitation to the mastermind that we are doing for the academies of first class businesses and

553
00:41:40,260 --> 00:41:49,140
We will be holding these every tuesday at 3 p.m. So we'll send you more information down in the comments below and just feel free to ask anything

554
00:41:49,620 --> 00:41:51,620
and connect with us as well

555
00:41:52,100 --> 00:41:55,380
I love that and this is huge for hi me because in colombia

556
00:41:55,860 --> 00:42:00,580
Uh, they don't they don't have as many opportunities to get involved in in person networking events, right?

557
00:42:00,580 --> 00:42:05,300
And that's one of the things I love about our company. We spend a lot of time on zoom creating relationships

558
00:42:05,460 --> 00:42:06,740
Um, and I'll be there for each other

559
00:42:06,740 --> 00:42:09,220
But we want to make sure that we're extending our ability to network

560
00:42:09,860 --> 00:42:15,300
online so this uh, it's labeled a little bit wrong. It's called a networking mastermind

561
00:42:15,700 --> 00:42:22,740
Um, and so the networking mastermind with the academy of first class businesses is tied specifically to our facebook group

562
00:42:23,060 --> 00:42:28,580
Of first class businesses and so we're going to start hosting more and more people on tuesdays at this event

563
00:42:28,580 --> 00:42:32,820
Or we can network with each other meet other visionary entrepreneurs and their teams

564
00:42:33,220 --> 00:42:37,700
Uh discuss some of the victories and challenges that have taken place and also learn

565
00:42:38,420 --> 00:42:43,380
How to gain more exposure how to become a high demand brand?

566
00:42:43,780 --> 00:42:45,780
um, and ultimately

567
00:42:45,860 --> 00:42:50,740
Facilitate relationships with people who could be fantastic strategic partners for you out there

568
00:42:51,460 --> 00:42:56,900
So we just launched our first one. Um, our first transition to this new style of event

569
00:42:56,900 --> 00:43:01,060
Uh on tuesday because of the inspiration of the events that we've been attending in person

570
00:43:01,140 --> 00:43:05,460
That's like man, we need to be facilitating this online like immediately

571
00:43:05,940 --> 00:43:11,940
We need to get going so that's exactly what we did and we spent some great time with charlie goldsmith and with bick wheeler

572
00:43:12,420 --> 00:43:18,420
Building out a little bit more in terms of their lead magnets and who they're targeting and making sure the lead magnets

573
00:43:18,820 --> 00:43:24,020
Align with the audiences they're facing and introducing them to each other as we get more and more people

574
00:43:24,020 --> 00:43:27,620
uh involved in the process and we get better at our own ability to

575
00:43:28,820 --> 00:43:32,820
Invite and inspire people to come out to uh the the networking mastermind

576
00:43:33,220 --> 00:43:36,260
The value of that is going to exponentially compound

577
00:43:36,820 --> 00:43:41,140
Based on those who come in with the right mindset and we will be particular about that. We're talking about

578
00:43:42,100 --> 00:43:48,580
Business owners who have three to five years of experience of experience as business owners. That is an important qualification

579
00:43:49,060 --> 00:43:52,260
Um, we need people who understand that it's not easy

580
00:43:52,260 --> 00:43:55,460
Um, and usually if you haven't been in business for longer than three years

581
00:43:55,940 --> 00:44:02,020
Um, you you haven't realized that yet. Um, you haven't realized how much humility comes into the process of growing a business

582
00:44:02,420 --> 00:44:06,180
The other thing that we need is experts who have five to ten years of expertise

583
00:44:06,740 --> 00:44:10,580
Um, so I can't market and I won't market somebody who's still learning

584
00:44:10,980 --> 00:44:15,380
Uh, you're welcome to come in and get connected perhaps to a job opportunity

585
00:44:15,620 --> 00:44:20,100
Um, in order to an opportunity you might be a value in but if you're going to be, um, you know

586
00:44:20,100 --> 00:44:27,300
Networking in a in a first-class business environment. It's very important that you have five to ten years of expertise yourself

587
00:44:27,780 --> 00:44:32,900
Um, because we can we can quickly tell um, who doesn't involve and who doesn't belong

588
00:44:33,300 --> 00:44:36,740
Um in an environment like that and we'll need to remove you from the equation because

589
00:44:37,140 --> 00:44:42,020
We'll only be able to facilitate the right type of growth and value if we have the right type of people involved

590
00:44:42,340 --> 00:44:46,420
Um, so if you're a first-class business professional or your first-class business owner

591
00:44:46,420 --> 00:44:52,740
You own a business that strives for first-class service and by all means start showing up on on tuesdays for our networking

592
00:44:53,300 --> 00:44:54,420
mastermind

593
00:44:54,420 --> 00:44:59,460
um, definitely check out what we're doing with the academy of first-class business some of our free resources and uh,

594
00:45:00,100 --> 00:45:04,340
Let's start building phenomenal relationships to be able to bless those who are out there in the world. So

595
00:45:04,900 --> 00:45:07,300
