SNM027: Turn Your Heroes into Business Partners
My entire business is built upon a network. Â Originally, every single member was a hero that I admired. Â I turned my heroes into my business partners, and you can do the same thing.
Be Pro-Active
Most people never try to reach out to their heroes. Â We assume that nothing we do will matter, and that is our justification for inaction. Â We notice reviews, we respond to emails, and we appreciate people who help to spread our message. Â Being successful does not remove someone’s humanity.
Without reviews products, books, podcasts and everything else will fade away. Â There are entire businesses built upon getting people more reviews. Â There are massive companies that fight tooth and nail to get their customers a few measly reviews. Â In the modern digital structure, you have massive power as a customer and fan.
Choose Something Achievable
Everyone focuses on the Rockstar. Â They are all chasing number one, but if you focus on number two you can change your destiny. Â Start hanging out with the panel speakers and you will end up meeting the head of the entire conference face-to-face. Â Be strategic with your efforts.
Focus on the Positive
I don’t want to hear about your weaknesses. Â Tell me the areas where you are strong. Â Mention in passing when you are open to different projects. Demonstrate that you are tenacious and have the ability to execute. Â This will separate you from the crowd, and amazing projects will start to drift your way.
