1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,080 Speaker 1: Welcome to How to Money. I'm Joel and I'm Matt, 2 00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:06,640 Speaker 1: and today we're discussing networking to make more money with 3 00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:27,960 Speaker 1: money pro Jordan Harbinger. That's right, Joel. We are having 4 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 1: Jordan's Harbinger on man and he is big time. And 5 00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:32,760 Speaker 1: I know that you are very excited about this episode 6 00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 1: because networking involves a lot of talking. Basically, it's a 7 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 1: skill made for people like you who just love to 8 00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:40,760 Speaker 1: hang out and be around people. You, I would say 9 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:45,360 Speaker 1: are the most extroverted person I have ever met. I'm 10 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,440 Speaker 1: pretty much like a hundred on the extrovert scale, Yeah, 11 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:50,840 Speaker 1: that's for sure. And so I'm excited about having Jordan's 12 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,199 Speaker 1: on because I feel like he approaches it in a 13 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 1: way that messes up with how I view networking, and 14 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 1: it's something I get jazzed about. But I know most 15 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 1: people there maybe are more frightened of networking, and so 16 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 1: hopefully we can clear up some misconceptions and help people 17 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 1: that don't naturally find themselves to be good networkers. Hopefully 18 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 1: this episode can can help people find some strategies to 19 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 1: to become better networkers in their everyday lives, because ultimately 20 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: you might end up making more money, and also there's 21 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 1: a good chance it will help you progress in your 22 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,039 Speaker 1: career path a whole lot pastor. So, I know that 23 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 1: I'm kind of an odd bird, Matt, But like, what's 24 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:27,400 Speaker 1: the first thing that comes to your mind when you 25 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,760 Speaker 1: hear the word networking? Yeah, I don't like it. I 26 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:32,680 Speaker 1: mean owning my own business, like the what I do 27 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 1: for work, I can be very isolated in my work 28 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 1: and fairly independent in what I do. And I think 29 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 1: a lot of people view networking as sort of schmoozy 30 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 1: or disingenuous or sort of sales pitchy, right, and including myself, 31 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 1: I feel like that I've held a similar view. But honestly, dude, 32 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: I look back at the beginning when we first started 33 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: the business, and Dude, we did a ton of networking. 34 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 1: There were so many valuable connections that we made early 35 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 1: on that allowed us to just meet other individuals in 36 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: the industry and allowed us to learn new skills like 37 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 1: really quickly. And on top of that, a lot of 38 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: our early work was referred to us by some other 39 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: photographers as well. So for us, it was a key 40 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 1: way for us to sort of launch the business, and 41 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: without a man we may not be where we are 42 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 1: today and Matt, we're gonna bring on Jordan for his 43 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: five minutes of wisdom about networking in just a second. 44 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 1: But I wanted to let everyone know the beer that 45 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: we're drinking today, And we drink a beer on every 46 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 1: show because we're best buddies drinking a beer talking about money. 47 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 1: That's kind of what this whole podcast is about. And 48 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: so Jake from Texas sent us a Revolver brewing blood 49 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 1: and Honey American Ale and we'll tell you what we 50 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 1: think of it at the end of the show. Nice. 51 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,639 Speaker 1: I think it's only appropriate that a beer sent to 52 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 1: us from Texas has the word revolver in it, you know, 53 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 1: like a cowboy pistol. Well, I'm wearing my spurs for 54 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: this episode. I'm ready to dig in and I'm wearing 55 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 1: the chaps. So let's have the listeners just a little 56 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: bit about Jordan's Jordan Harbinger is the host of the 57 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: wildly successful podcast The Jordan Harbinger Show. He's been podcasting 58 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,239 Speaker 1: for over twelve years since podcast started. I mean, Jordan 59 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: was one of the first people on the ball had 60 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 1: a podcast up there, formerly called The Art of Charm 61 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 1: and and now it's called the Jordan Harbinger Show, and 62 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: he interviews some of the most interesting people in the world. 63 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: I don't know if he's interviewed the Dozeki Skuy or not, 64 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:18,079 Speaker 1: but but he interviews a lot of interesting writers, musicians 65 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 1: and change makers and he tries to find out why 66 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 1: they're successful. And so he just asked really good questions 67 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 1: and he's super thoughtful and well connected, and so we 68 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 1: thought he was kind of the perfect money pro to 69 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 1: bring on to talk about how networking can increase your 70 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: income but also just change your career path. And if 71 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 1: you were a newer listener and you haven't heard our 72 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 1: money Pro episodes yet, every week we bring on a 73 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 1: pro and they distilled down their knowledge and experience into 74 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 1: five minutes of wisdom. And so, without further Ado, let's 75 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: go ahead and hear from Jordan's fellas. Thanks for having 76 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: me on today. I want to talk about networking and 77 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: how it's essentially not an optional skill. It is also 78 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 1: the best insurance policy that you can't purchase. And it's 79 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 1: probably the highest leverage skill set that I've ever developed 80 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 1: in my life. And I've been an attorney, I worked 81 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: on Wall Street and finance, I've run a couple of companies. 82 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 1: As an entrepreneur, now I'm doing the broadcasting and show 83 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 1: thing that I've been doing for twelve years. Here, I'm 84 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 1: telling you these people skills are the highest level of 85 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: competitive advantage. And when I was a kid, you know, 86 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: I kind of coasted through school when I was younger, 87 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,159 Speaker 1: but as I got older, I prided myself on out 88 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:29,479 Speaker 1: working everyone. And that's great. Those are great competitive advantages. However, 89 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 1: as you get to hire and higher rungs of performance 90 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: the people that surround you, while networking is a skill 91 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 1: that's highly prized and relatively rare, as these other competitive 92 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 1: advantages melt away and most people procrastinate with the skill set, 93 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: which makes it even more rare. Right they say they've 94 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: got to their business set up or their websites set up. 95 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,600 Speaker 1: This is a foundational skill set. It is not some 96 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 1: sort of add on or bonus skill set. This is 97 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 1: not a to do list item. You have to dig 98 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,719 Speaker 1: the well before you're thirsty, otherwise you're just being willfully 99 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,840 Speaker 1: ignorant of the sek a game that's being played around you. 100 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: And fundamentally, there's no difference between networking and making or 101 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,479 Speaker 1: meeting friends. So you're not gonna become this sort of 102 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 1: like annoyingly creepy sales guy throwing business cards in people's faces. 103 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 1: It's going to be something that is going to stay 104 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: with you. If you get fired, your business falls apart 105 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,279 Speaker 1: or becomes illegal, or you hit hard times, you're left 106 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: with yourself. Your talent, which is ten percent of the equation, 107 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: even if you're very talented. Your work ethic, which hopefully 108 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: is pretty high, is going to be another double digit percentage. 109 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: But the most leverage you're going to get is going 110 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 1: to be who you know and who knows you. So 111 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: first things first, imagine you get laid off from your 112 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 1: job today. Who are the ten or fifteen people that 113 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 1: you'd contact to solicit their advice on what to do next? 114 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,600 Speaker 1: I call this thought exercise layoff lifeline. So you get 115 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: laid off, your business implodes, whatever. Who are the ten 116 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: or fifteen people you'd contact to solicit their advice on 117 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 1: what to do next. These are your weaker or dormant ties, 118 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: important relationships that have sort of gone by the wayside. 119 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: Make that list and then reach out to those people. Now, 120 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,719 Speaker 1: while you don't have an agenda, you don't need anything specifically, 121 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,239 Speaker 1: and this means that's going to be less awkward. People 122 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 1: think networking is awkward because they only reach out when 123 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,719 Speaker 1: they need something. Also, this gets momentum. It ends the 124 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 1: cycle of procrastination. People have got a hundred things to do. 125 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 1: Maybe we're comfortable with ninety nine of them, you know, 126 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: working on the website, answering our email, generating leads, whatever, 127 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 1: but we're not comfortable with outreach. This will help kick 128 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 1: off the rust and networking in relationship development. This is 129 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 1: the one area of your life and your business where 130 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,039 Speaker 1: you can't make up for lost time, and by the 131 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 1: time you need it, it's too late. People will say, 132 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: I don't need this, already have a job. What happens 133 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 1: when you don't You can't leverage relationships that you don't have. 134 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 1: If you've already got a business of your own, you're 135 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: not employed by somebody else, Well, this is gonna be legion. 136 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: It's gonna be hiring. It's going to be finding the 137 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 1: right people to surround yourself with, finding other entrepreneurs to 138 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 1: help you. Keep you saying things like that these skill 139 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 1: sets that you're gonna get from your network are going 140 00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 1: to be invaluable. Something I do every day because Consistency, 141 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 1: by the way, is much more important than doing this 142 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,599 Speaker 1: once in a blue moon. Consistency is the key to 143 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: developing good relationships. Everybody's heard of, you know, getting a 144 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: cold call. You haven't heard from the person in two years, 145 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 1: and you're thinking, what does this guy want? If you 146 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: spend just four minutes a day, you're already in the 147 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: top I'd say one to two percent of super connectors 148 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,239 Speaker 1: and connectors here. So one thing I'll do every day 149 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 1: is I'll open up my phone's text messaging app, scroll 150 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 1: all the way down to the bottom. That's where those 151 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 1: relationships are that you haven't Those people you haven't spoken 152 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 1: with in two years, You had lunch with them once 153 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: at a conference, never kept in touch and never talked 154 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 1: to him again. Re engage four to five of those 155 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 1: people every day, right. All you have to do is 156 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: send him a little something like, Hey, Jim, it's been 157 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: a couple of years since we met at Cafe Gratitude 158 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 1: in San Diego. It was fun getting to know you. 159 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 1: Then I've done a bad job of keeping in touch, 160 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 1: but I'd like to change that. What's the latest with you? 161 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,679 Speaker 1: Would love to hear from you, signed Jordan's the reason 162 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 1: you put your name is so that they don't think 163 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: new phone, who it is, or oh I don't remember 164 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: this person, I gotta fake it. And the other thing. 165 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 1: The other reason you tell him where you met him 166 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 1: is so that you can jog their memory. If you 167 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: reengage people like this every day, you're spending three to 168 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: four minutes per day. You're re engaging I don't know, 169 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 1: hundred plus people every single month. That is incredible. That's 170 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 1: more than most people re engage in a whole year. 171 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: Most of those people aren't going to reply or give 172 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 1: you an opportunity, but the ones that do, you're gonna 173 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: stay top of mind with a huge group of people, 174 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 1: and that's going to be very important. I hope this 175 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 1: was helpful. Thanks a lot, guys, Matt. That was so good. 176 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 1: That was like golden networking advice right there, like a 177 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: big golden nugget that Jordans just laid out for us. 178 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 1: And I'm excited for you, and I kind of tease 179 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:40,959 Speaker 1: out some of the things that that he said in 180 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 1: in his segment, and we'll get to that right after 181 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 1: the break. Okay, let's go ahead and jump into it. 182 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 1: I love that he said that this is not an 183 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 1: optional skill networking. It's not an optional skill. It's he said, 184 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 1: it's the best insuring policy that you can't purchase. It 185 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,719 Speaker 1: takes time, it takes being intentional, and you have to 186 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 1: be genuine as well. These aren't things that you can 187 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 1: just do methodically, right, Like you can go about the 188 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 1: mechanics of it methodically, but it does take more thought 189 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,839 Speaker 1: and heart to actually connect with people. You know, nobody 190 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 1: wants to network with a robot. But I think it's 191 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,440 Speaker 1: amazing how he mentioned how networking is his highest leverage skill. 192 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 1: But in reality, the facts bear this out. Eighty five 193 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 1: percent of jobs are found because of networking, and this 194 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 1: was on a recent LinkedIn article. So of course, I would, 195 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 1: you know, expect them to say, sure, all the job 196 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 1: leads that you're gonna get that really amount to anything 197 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:36,959 Speaker 1: are going to come from networking, and by the way, 198 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 1: that's what we do. But I think it's anecdotally been 199 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 1: true in my life and been true for so many 200 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 1: of my friends and family members and people that I 201 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: know that landing a job in another company advancing in 202 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 1: their career. So much of that has to do not 203 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,200 Speaker 1: just with your skills, the skills on your resume, but 204 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 1: with the networking that you've done throughout the years. And 205 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 1: so I think what Jordan said about people skills being 206 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 1: your highest competitive advantage can be incredibly true, right, And 207 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 1: and so many people are lacking either the people skills 208 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,560 Speaker 1: or they're just unwilling to do some of the work 209 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 1: that it takes to develop and maintain those relationships when 210 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 1: it comes to networking. And so networking is just a 211 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: place where you can completely stand out from the crowd. Yeah. 212 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 1: He mentioned how as a sort of young professional that 213 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 1: he outworked people and how it's just tougher to do 214 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 1: that at higher levels. And you know, there's always others 215 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: that can outwork you, that are willing to sacrifice more 216 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 1: of their life, more their personal life, or whatever it 217 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 1: is that they're sacrificing in order to get ahead. And 218 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 1: so networking involves working smarter. It's not necessarily to work less, 219 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 1: but networking allows you to develop a more robust set 220 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 1: of skills that you can present in the workplace when 221 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 1: it comes to, like you said, landing that new job 222 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: or connecting others and putting them in touch with a 223 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,440 Speaker 1: new potential employer. There are just so many aspects of 224 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 1: networking that are hard to quantify that might end up 225 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 1: benefiting you down the road. And I think I've had 226 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 1: to pick my favorite angle that Jordan's took in in 227 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:04,200 Speaker 1: what he mentioned to us. It was that networking is foundational, 228 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,080 Speaker 1: and it's not a skill that we can seek to 229 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 1: develop when we need it. Give to kind of be 230 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 1: laying that foundation now when you don't need a job, 231 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,679 Speaker 1: when you're not on the lookout, because people can sense 232 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 1: that in you if you are reaching out when you 233 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 1: need something, and if your need well it's too late. 234 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 1: In particular, the reference that he gave to dig the 235 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 1: well before you're thirsty, Yeah, that's an amazing illustration, right, right, Yeah, 236 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,560 Speaker 1: it just clicks right. Oh yeah, of course the the 237 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 1: well needs to be dug before I'm thirsty, because if 238 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:31,680 Speaker 1: I'm thirsty, I'm gonna die of thirst with a shovel 239 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 1: in my hand. Right. And so laying that foundation of 240 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:38,200 Speaker 1: relationships in your career, creating that network, that spiderweb of 241 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 1: people that you know and that know you right now 242 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 1: while you're happy in your job, that is one of 243 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 1: the massive keys to being a good networker. Yeah, Joe, 244 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 1: So an example of networking early on, right, I mentioned 245 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:50,719 Speaker 1: earlier sort of the small business and how we kind 246 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,080 Speaker 1: of Kate and I had networked early on well when 247 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 1: it came to photography. Man, we did a lot of 248 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 1: that on the front end, and I kind of forgot 249 00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 1: about it until the time came when I needed additional photographers. 250 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 1: Kate was stepping out of the business to to raise 251 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,839 Speaker 1: our family, to raise our girls, and having a short 252 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 1: list of folks that I could kind of get back 253 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,320 Speaker 1: in touch with and say, hey, are you willing to 254 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 1: shoot for me? You know, are you willing to to 255 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,559 Speaker 1: work under sort of my banner? And having that list 256 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 1: was amazing. It took a lot of the stress, I know, 257 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,200 Speaker 1: specifically off of Kate to not have to worry, you 258 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 1: know that she was sort of letting me down by 259 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: stepping out of the business. She knew that we had 260 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 1: these folks lined up, their good relationships that we had 261 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 1: developed and the folks that we trusted as well because 262 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,479 Speaker 1: we had worked together. But that's an example for us specifically, 263 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 1: how we already had that well maybe partially doug right, 264 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 1: like we had started digging. It was there ready for 265 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,839 Speaker 1: the last few scoops when we knew the time was coming. 266 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:41,960 Speaker 1: And so for us, that's just a small example of 267 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,679 Speaker 1: how networking allowed me to continue to further the business. Yeah, Matt, 268 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: For me, I've been at the same job for twelve years, 269 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 1: which is pretty abnormal. I feel like in our in 270 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 1: this day and age, and I love what I do. 271 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 1: But for me, this networking things, like like we said 272 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 1: at the beginning of the show, for me, it kind 273 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 1: of comes naturally. But I also know that if something 274 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 1: did come up, or if there's a change in my 275 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 1: work and things started to kind of suck, then I 276 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 1: could totally call on this network of friendships that I 277 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,560 Speaker 1: have and and maybe it would mean transitioning into a 278 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 1: different industry, who knows. But even though I am in 279 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,200 Speaker 1: what I consider to be like the perfect job for me, 280 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,679 Speaker 1: I still feel like I have this solid network that 281 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 1: i've I kind of have this well, Dug and I 282 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,679 Speaker 1: have these friendships, and not only has that network been 283 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 1: just like a joy to create really for me, it's 284 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 1: it's also nice to know that that they are there 285 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 1: for me in case something does happen. Yeah, Man, I 286 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 1: love that you said. That is a joy to kind 287 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: of participate in that networking, right, because this is foundational. 288 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 1: But what's also foundational is that like at the beginning 289 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 1: when you first meet somebody, it's just good to be 290 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 1: like a good, proper human being, right, Yeah, I think 291 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,319 Speaker 1: networking can easily be pigeonholed as this thing where you 292 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:51,080 Speaker 1: have to be a schwarmy, schmoozy weirdo exactly like you 293 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 1: want to be able to provide value to those people 294 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 1: from the start, like from the get go, not just 295 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 1: sort of like a leech where you're just looking for 296 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 1: whatever you can get for yourself. People are interesting having 297 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 1: that curiosity. It's just a part of being a normal human. 298 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 1: I think sometimes we put networking on this pedestal and 299 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 1: we make it seem like it's this super scary thing. 300 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 1: You have to go to special networking events in order 301 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 1: to do it. Mixers and some of those, I gotta 302 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 1: be honest, can be totally awkward. Whatever. Man, you make 303 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 1: them awkward because you're just like chowing down on all 304 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 1: the free food. Well I'm never gonna pass up free food, right, 305 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 1: But yeah, some of those mixers can be awkward. I 306 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 1: completely understand that, and I know that some of those 307 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 1: can be helpful when you're trying to build your network, 308 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 1: But at the same time, there are so many other 309 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 1: ways to build a network, and we're definitely going to 310 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 1: get into those just a little bit further on down, 311 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 1: but just know that at the heart of it, networking 312 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 1: is incredibly similar to just making new friends friends. Yeah, man, 313 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 1: you know, I'm glad you brought that up. So I 314 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 1: actually kind of disagree, just slightly, right because he mentioned 315 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 1: how you know, networking is kind of fundamentally, you know, 316 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 1: the same as making new friends. I agree with that 317 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 1: from the standpoint of the mechanics of it, right, like 318 00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 1: you are still engaging with folks, you're being interested, But 319 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 1: like the core of it, I feel like it's it 320 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 1: is a little bit different because the business is more transactional, right, 321 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 1: Like you give something and you receive something. It's a transaction, 322 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 1: like there's no question as to what happens, whereas like 323 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 1: typically in friendships, it's a little grayer, right, it's a 324 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 1: little fuzzier, and there should be more sort of generosity 325 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 1: and less accounting that takes place. And so I know 326 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 1: it's a little bit fuzzy because a lot of networking 327 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 1: does actually involved real relationships and friendships. But I think 328 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 1: we have to be a little bit careful and how 329 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 1: not how we view networking, but how we view our friendships. Right, 330 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 1: if some of those sort of business tactics and ideas 331 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 1: start trickling their way a little bit into our personal lives, 332 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 1: I think that may not vote as well for our 333 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 1: personal interpersonal relationships. Yeah. I think that's a good point, Matt. I. 334 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 1: I don't think Jordan is advocating that you help Jim, 335 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 1: who you met at a networking mixer, to to move 336 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 1: across town or to babysit his kids anything like that, right, Like, 337 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 1: those certainly are our friendship moves. And we're talking about 338 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 1: networking here. But I think what he's getting at, and 339 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 1: and you bring up this point, well, is that those 340 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 1: mechanics though, Yeah, of humanity and genuinely being interested in 341 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 1: another person and finding out what makes them tick, that 342 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 1: is a huge part of networking. Well, if you can 343 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 1: create a curiosity inside of yourself about other human beings, 344 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 1: that's just gonna make you naturally more effective when it 345 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 1: comes to networking exactly. Yeah, man, I totally agree. The mechanics, 346 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 1: that's it. The mechanics are the same. But you know, 347 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 1: when it comes to business and relationships, the motives are 348 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 1: or can be different. In relationships, there's more of a 349 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 1: heart because yeah, you're hopefully being more generous, but in 350 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 1: business it is a little more transactional because that's you know, 351 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 1: that's how the business and that's how the economy works. 352 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 1: So let's get to a couple of specific takeaways that 353 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 1: Jordan's offered us. I think the suggestion to create a 354 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 1: layoff lifeline is is super helpful. If you can make 355 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 1: that list of ten to fifteen people that you would 356 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 1: want to reach out to if you were to lose 357 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 1: your job, making those tend to fifteen relationships higher priority 358 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 1: is a good idea, and investing in those relationships now, 359 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 1: like Jordan said, digging the well before you're thirsty, doing 360 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 1: that in particular with those most important relationships, I think 361 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 1: it is a great idea. Yeah, and again, though you know, 362 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 1: you can't make these networking relationships work without actually being 363 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 1: real and helpful. I think a good way to look 364 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,119 Speaker 1: at it is that your goal should be to provide 365 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,480 Speaker 1: value to others now, knowing that maybe sort of down 366 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,879 Speaker 1: the road you might be receiving value right there necessarily 367 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,640 Speaker 1: shouldn't be an expectation. But that's the goal with networking, 368 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,199 Speaker 1: is that hopefully the things will work out and this 369 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 1: will benefit you down the road. So, Matt, I feel 370 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,600 Speaker 1: like we just covered some really important, kind of high 371 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 1: level thoughts on networking, but we've got to get to 372 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 1: the practical examples and takeaways, and we'll do that right 373 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:43,359 Speaker 1: after the break. Let's go ahead now and dive in 374 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 1: some of these practical tips and things that you can 375 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:48,200 Speaker 1: do on a day to day basis to make networking 376 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,119 Speaker 1: more a part of your life. And one of the 377 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,920 Speaker 1: things that Jordan mentioned was that how consistency is key. 378 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:55,639 Speaker 1: You know, he talks about how every day he spends 379 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 1: four minutes he scrolls down to the bottom of his 380 00:17:57,800 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 1: text messages. I love that because I think it's it's 381 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 1: brilliant because it's a system and it's something that he 382 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,119 Speaker 1: doesn't have to think about every day, like how am 383 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,119 Speaker 1: I going to reach out the folks? He knows, this 384 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,920 Speaker 1: is how I'm going to do it. It's easily repeatable. Yeah, exactly. 385 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 1: And he said, how basically, you do that thing and 386 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 1: you'll be in the top like one percent of folks 387 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,159 Speaker 1: that are networking. You'll be a networking hero. Just the 388 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,680 Speaker 1: act of following up after meeting someone, even if it's 389 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 1: like a year or two later, we'll we'll put you 390 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,640 Speaker 1: in that upper echelon of of networkers. It doesn't take 391 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 1: much to to stand out personally, Matt. I love sending 392 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,680 Speaker 1: an email the day after I've had an interesting meeting 393 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 1: with somebody. Because you're an extrovert. That's right as part 394 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,879 Speaker 1: of it, but it almost solidifies that that meeting meant something, 395 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 1: and I feel like it makes an indelible mark in 396 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,639 Speaker 1: the person's brain that that I mean I'm sending the 397 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:43,879 Speaker 1: email to. And you know something else, Matt that just 398 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 1: struck me from my past was that when I was 399 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:47,919 Speaker 1: applying for jobs one summer when I was like seventeen 400 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 1: years old, what I would do, after turning in my 401 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:54,200 Speaker 1: resume to to the local place, probably home depot or 402 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,160 Speaker 1: a drug store. Because I did work as a photo 403 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,680 Speaker 1: technician in a drug store. I know about that awesome job, 404 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:00,920 Speaker 1: loved it. What what I would do is, after I 405 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 1: turn to my resume, I would go back a couple 406 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,040 Speaker 1: of days later and I would seek out the manager. 407 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,440 Speaker 1: I would talk to them, shake their hand and say, hey, 408 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,159 Speaker 1: I'm really interested in working here. Just want to let 409 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 1: you know that I dropped my resume off and I 410 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 1: totally love to work here at some point, right and 411 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,399 Speaker 1: so I would do that with each one of these 412 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 1: potential jobs, and just so many people that I knew 413 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:22,880 Speaker 1: turned in the resume or the application with their name 414 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 1: and phone number on it, but they didn't make any 415 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 1: sort of memorable, long lasting impression. Those resumes or applications 416 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 1: are quickly and easily forgotten, right, but your face much 417 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 1: much less so. So I feel like networking has a 418 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,719 Speaker 1: lot of similarities to that. If you can pop up 419 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,880 Speaker 1: an email after a meeting, it makes you just so 420 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,919 Speaker 1: much harder to forget. Nice man, I love that. I 421 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 1: love how you were a go getter back when you're 422 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,119 Speaker 1: a youngster. It sounds like Jordan was like that as well, right, 423 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 1: Like he's this high octane kind of go get her 424 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:55,119 Speaker 1: person and I'm not quite as much, right, Like, I 425 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 1: hear that, and I think, gosh, that is so many 426 00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:59,640 Speaker 1: freaking people. But I think that's important to to kind 427 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 1: of ho that balance, right, Like, if you are messaging 428 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,639 Speaker 1: five people every morning, right, say for a month, I 429 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 1: mean that's a hundred and fifty people in one month. 430 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 1: And what I think is important to keep in mind 431 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,679 Speaker 1: is that sure you know, hopefully you'll be top of 432 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,560 Speaker 1: mind and and you can kind of strike up a conversation. 433 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,160 Speaker 1: But keep in mind too that it's a two way street, right, 434 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 1: And so if you're sort of reaching out and opening 435 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 1: this line of communication again to them, I think you 436 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,119 Speaker 1: need to make sure that you are willing and able 437 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,679 Speaker 1: yourself to provide value to that person when they are 438 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 1: reaching out to you, because again, the the idea is 439 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,639 Speaker 1: to provide value to others and to help others, and 440 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,879 Speaker 1: to be genuine in your interactions, not just trying to 441 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,679 Speaker 1: find out how it can benefit you. So that for 442 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 1: me is kind of overwhelming because I think about these 443 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 1: sort of more long term implications because maybe I'm a 444 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:48,200 Speaker 1: pessimist slightly, and I think, oh, man, that could become 445 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 1: a full time job for me if I were to 446 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 1: sort of open those floodgates and and actually start reaching 447 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 1: out to that many folks. And so maybe in my 448 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:58,680 Speaker 1: case it might be like one person like a week, 449 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 1: like for four or five people in a single month, 450 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:03,639 Speaker 1: might be what I can handle these days with the 451 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,880 Speaker 1: kid dohs and the business and just the other things 452 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:07,160 Speaker 1: I have going on and the things that I want 453 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 1: to pursue right now. Yeah, I feel like you can 454 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 1: adapt Jordan's methodology to kind of whatever suits your lifestyle, 455 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:14,880 Speaker 1: and you can figure out exactly how much of it 456 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 1: is going to be possible for you. And so I 457 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,440 Speaker 1: think four or five people a day, a hundred fifty 458 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 1: people a month. It sounds like a lot to me too. 459 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,200 Speaker 1: That's that's not how I do it. I don't scroll 460 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,440 Speaker 1: to the bottom of my phone and send out text messages. 461 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 1: I love that Jordan has a system and that works 462 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,399 Speaker 1: for him. For me, it is much less like that, 463 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 1: and honestly it's much less organized. So I don't I 464 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 1: don't even have something I'm doing every day for sure, 465 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 1: But I think it's a helpful way to at least 466 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 1: start thinking about it, to make it top of mind 467 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 1: and and maybe either seek to do one a day 468 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: or seek to set aside twenty or thirty minutes a 469 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,959 Speaker 1: week to dedicated networking time where you send off an 470 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 1: email to someone that you've had a coffee date with, 471 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 1: or even just someone in your industry that you've never met. 472 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:57,919 Speaker 1: And I think one way Matt to do this is 473 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,199 Speaker 1: a LinkedIn message with someone in your industry that you 474 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 1: think is interesting or is posted an article that's meaningful. 475 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 1: A Twitter comment even can be a meaningful way to 476 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:10,199 Speaker 1: engage someone in a networking type fashion. You want to 477 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 1: make sure it's an honest interaction where you're commenting on 478 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,919 Speaker 1: something that they have mentioned, or you can send a 479 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 1: message to someone if you saw them quoted in an article. 480 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,639 Speaker 1: I think those are ways to even use something like 481 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,480 Speaker 1: as weird as social media as it can be at times, 482 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,639 Speaker 1: to to network effectively. Dude, I love that that's a 483 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,880 Speaker 1: perfect way to take something that can be as awkward 484 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 1: and impersonal as social media and just cement it to 485 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 1: make it a lot more real and certainly beneficial when 486 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,879 Speaker 1: it comes to networking. But also don't forget face to 487 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:42,440 Speaker 1: face right in real life. So imagine if you're trying 488 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,359 Speaker 1: to succeed in real estate, there's just different local real 489 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 1: estate meetups that you can intend, and so make sure 490 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 1: that you are showing up at these meetings. And if 491 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 1: there is an investor there who's questioning it, like that's 492 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:53,359 Speaker 1: the investor you want to learn from, like get to 493 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 1: know him or get to know her, Like they're the 494 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 1: ones that you want to connect with to provide value 495 00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,200 Speaker 1: to them. But then ultimately, like there's gonna be so 496 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 1: much that you're gonna be to learn from them. So Basically, 497 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:03,959 Speaker 1: if Chad Carson, one of our recent money pros, if 498 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,280 Speaker 1: he's at your local real estate and neat up, he's 499 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 1: the guy you want to offer to help out. Right. Well, 500 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 1: what's crazy is that's what he did when he first 501 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 1: started out fresh out of undergrad. That's exactly what he did. 502 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,160 Speaker 1: He was the I heard him describe it once as 503 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,439 Speaker 1: a bird dog. He's from South Carolina. That's the kind 504 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,639 Speaker 1: of terminology they use their hunting. But he went he 505 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 1: would go out and he did the scouting, and he 506 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,400 Speaker 1: he was the one that was knocking on doors, and 507 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 1: he was kind of doing that legwork. He was doing 508 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 1: the grunt work. And he learned a lot working for 509 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 1: other real estate investing pros and did kind of that 510 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 1: grunt work that they were unwilling to do. Right, And 511 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 1: in that process of kind of volunteering his time and 512 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,119 Speaker 1: his effort, he built his network and his skills. You 513 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 1: just mentioned volunteering, man, I know you love those habitat builds. Yes, 514 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:45,200 Speaker 1: I think kind of an unconventional approach to networking would 515 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,639 Speaker 1: be to volunteer in your community. That seems like something 516 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,639 Speaker 1: that you're doing purely just to help other people. And 517 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 1: and that's obviously a great reason to do it. I 518 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,439 Speaker 1: love the idea of volunteering in your community just to 519 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 1: help others. But at the same time, the kind of 520 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,480 Speaker 1: people that you'll be working alongside with, let's say, at 521 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 1: something like a Habitat for Humanity build, you're gonna meet 522 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 1: interesting folks in different lines of work, and the sort 523 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 1: of connection that you can build with someone while working 524 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 1: alongside them to to better your community and maybe grabbing 525 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 1: a beer afterwards or something and finding out what they do. 526 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,399 Speaker 1: You could meet some really interesting people that could definitely 527 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,639 Speaker 1: further your network just by getting involved in service projects. 528 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,399 Speaker 1: That's right, man. And also keep in mind that you 529 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:27,800 Speaker 1: don't get it if you don't ask for it. Don't 530 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,480 Speaker 1: forget that your close relationships, you're the friendships that you 531 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 1: already have, they can be a great network for you. 532 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 1: You know, just mentioning something to either friends or family 533 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,080 Speaker 1: and even neighbors as well that you're on the lookout 534 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,720 Speaker 1: for something that right there, it can cause them to, 535 00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:42,400 Speaker 1: you know, keep an ear out and make a phone 536 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 1: call for you, or even put you in touch with 537 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 1: someone on your behalf. Yeah, Matt, those people in your life, 538 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 1: they're not gonna be looking out for opportunities for you 539 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,439 Speaker 1: that they don't know that you're interested in, and so 540 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,520 Speaker 1: just mentioning it, just bringing it up in front of 541 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,439 Speaker 1: them in a casual way, can create more opportunities for 542 00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:00,480 Speaker 1: you by other people keeping their eyes peeled. Essentially, what 543 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,639 Speaker 1: we're saying is just to have real conversations, right, And 544 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 1: it almost sounds weird to say, Hey, this is how 545 00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 1: you have a real conversation. But just like we've talked 546 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:09,879 Speaker 1: about before, how we don't talk about some of the 547 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 1: most important things that direct our lives, like our money, 548 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,120 Speaker 1: how money needs to be something that we talk about more. 549 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 1: We naturally shy away from that. I think a lot 550 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 1: of times we shy away from our ambitions and the 551 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:21,679 Speaker 1: things that we are excited about and that we are 552 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,679 Speaker 1: trying to pursue because maybe we're afraid of lots of 553 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,200 Speaker 1: things like failure, or we're not sure if other folks would, 554 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,960 Speaker 1: you know, maybe be into that. But having these real conversations, man, 555 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,480 Speaker 1: it's just so vitally important completely. I think in networking 556 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 1: you'll find that just like yourself, just like you in 557 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,359 Speaker 1: all likelihood want to be of service to other people. 558 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 1: The people that you meet and interact with typically man, 559 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:44,920 Speaker 1: they want to be of service to you at the 560 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:46,879 Speaker 1: same time. But when it comes down to it, you 561 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 1: can't put a price tag on these relationships. You will 562 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 1: grow and learn as you develop networking as a skill 563 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 1: in your own life, and those relationships that you build, 564 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,119 Speaker 1: they're gonna pay dividends when it comes to potential opportunities, 565 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:01,560 Speaker 1: just like money that you invest in stocks, right that 566 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,159 Speaker 1: we've talked about. We've talked about the compounding effect of 567 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 1: money that investing early and often will lead to a 568 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,360 Speaker 1: great deal of wealth in retirement. Well, the same thing 569 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:12,960 Speaker 1: is true with networking. If you kind of start early 570 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 1: and often, it will have a compounding effect that will 571 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:20,359 Speaker 1: have major ramifications on your career and in all likelihood 572 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:22,119 Speaker 1: the amount of money that you're going to end up 573 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 1: making as well. And also, man, we need to be bold, right, Like, 574 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: let's aim high. I don't think we need to feel 575 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 1: ashamed to reach out to people that we look up to. 576 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 1: Like we mentioned before, you see somebody mentioned in an article, 577 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 1: or maybe they've just published something recently that you think 578 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,360 Speaker 1: is totally awesome. Reach out. You might be surprised at 579 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 1: the response that you get, and before you know, you 580 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 1: might have a great relationship there. Yeah, just some kind 581 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,919 Speaker 1: words or a compliment go a long way in starting 582 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 1: a potential friendship or networking relationship. Yeah. And so you know, 583 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,719 Speaker 1: if you are more introverted, maybe you are more isolated 584 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 1: in your work or your career path. Hopefully this episode 585 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:57,600 Speaker 1: has been able to give you some encouragement to step 586 00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:59,720 Speaker 1: outside of your comfort zone, maybe to stretch you a 587 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,679 Speaker 1: little bit and to do that hard work. Yeah, and 588 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:04,959 Speaker 1: it feels like more work than it does for other people, right, 589 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:06,760 Speaker 1: because for me it's kind of all fun and games, right, 590 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 1: But for me, I would have to be a bit 591 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 1: more organized. Like you talked about how you aren't nearly 592 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,880 Speaker 1: as organized as Jordan is as far as like taking 593 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 1: a certain number of minutes every morning. But I hear 594 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 1: that and I think, oh, man, that's how you do it. Like, 595 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:20,880 Speaker 1: that's that's a way for me to wrap my head around. Okay, 596 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:22,840 Speaker 1: I'm gonna limit this. I'm gonna only give this a 597 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,119 Speaker 1: set amount of time. And for me, that's that's like 598 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 1: a bite sized way that I can kind of start 599 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 1: the ball rolling and shake off the rust in order 600 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:31,560 Speaker 1: to start moving in the direction of being a better 601 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,320 Speaker 1: network person. All Right, Matt, let's get back to the 602 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,600 Speaker 1: beer that we were drinking today, and it's revolver brewing 603 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,159 Speaker 1: blood and honey American Ale. I don't even think I've 604 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,640 Speaker 1: ever heard of a beer called an American Ale before. 605 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,199 Speaker 1: So this is like a new style for me. But 606 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 1: I feel like it's more of an old school name, 607 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:50,160 Speaker 1: like American Amber or American Ale. It's like a piece 608 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,840 Speaker 1: of Americana that was drinking. I like it. I tasted 609 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,480 Speaker 1: this before I read the label, but I totally thought 610 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,840 Speaker 1: that this resonated as a Christmas beer or like a 611 00:27:57,880 --> 00:27:59,720 Speaker 1: holiday sort of winter ale. And I was reading the 612 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,520 Speaker 1: label Man and his Scots. Uh. It has finished with blood, orange, 613 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:06,320 Speaker 1: peele Texas, honey and a blend of spices. Those spices 614 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,679 Speaker 1: are exactly what I've had in some different winterrails. It 615 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 1: gives it just like this sort of clothy pepperinus that 616 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,159 Speaker 1: it's warming. It's still cold enough here and so this 617 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:17,520 Speaker 1: is a nice, uh winter warmer in a sense for me. Yeah, 618 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,600 Speaker 1: I thought it was interesting to me. It tasted like, yeah, 619 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 1: mixing clove and maybe like a honeysuckle, had a touch 620 00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,520 Speaker 1: of sweetness with those those interesting spices kind of to 621 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,479 Speaker 1: balance it out. This was a unique beer with some 622 00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,639 Speaker 1: really interesting flavors mixed together. And so big thanks to 623 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 1: our listener Jake in Texas for sending this br away Yeah, 624 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,840 Speaker 1: thanks Jake. Man. Speaking of listener mail from far away lands, 625 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:40,480 Speaker 1: I want to say a quick thank you to Hunter. 626 00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,400 Speaker 1: He sent us a sweet care package man, all the 627 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 1: way from Japan. He is stationed over there. Uh, And 628 00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,280 Speaker 1: as a listener, I just want to thank you Hunter. 629 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,760 Speaker 1: We really appreciate it. Yeah. Hunter serves in the Armed forces, 630 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 1: and so we want to say thank you for your 631 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,280 Speaker 1: service and thanks for the good eas too. Man. One 632 00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 1: of the things in the care package was these little 633 00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,440 Speaker 1: poopoo eraser heads that my girls are gonna get a 634 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:03,360 Speaker 1: kick out of. For sure. The girls are really into 635 00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 1: poop these days. All right, Matt, Let's get to our 636 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 1: final thoughts on networking to make more money. And we 637 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,920 Speaker 1: had our money pro Jordan Harbinger on today, and one 638 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:14,280 Speaker 1: of the first things he mentioned was that networking is 639 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 1: not an optional skill. And I think most of us 640 00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 1: think of networking as a thing of last resort or 641 00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,280 Speaker 1: something that we maybe don't even have to partake in 642 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 1: at all. And I think we learned today that that's 643 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 1: just not true. Yeah, man. I love that he said 644 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,120 Speaker 1: that it's not something you do you know, once you 645 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 1: finally finish updating website, because that never gets done. And 646 00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:35,600 Speaker 1: he also said how networking isn't being the annoying sales 647 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:37,480 Speaker 1: guy that's always kind of flash in the business card. 648 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,440 Speaker 1: The mechanics of it can be as straightforward and honest 649 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:43,680 Speaker 1: as meeting new friends. Right, have fun with it, be 650 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 1: genuine and find ways that you can help other people. Yeah, 651 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,320 Speaker 1: and if you want to build a network that's going 652 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 1: to be meaningful for you over the years and help 653 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,960 Speaker 1: you potentially make more money, consistency is key. You might 654 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,080 Speaker 1: not need to do exactly what Jordan does, and Matt 655 00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:58,520 Speaker 1: and I don't approach it in that way where we 656 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 1: reach out to four or five people every single day. 657 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 1: I don't even know if I know quite that many people. 658 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,240 Speaker 1: But I love that Jordan's got that big of a network. 659 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,760 Speaker 1: But for us, consistency is key, and so engaging in 660 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 1: networking on a regular basis is really important.
