Morning Motivator – Who Knows You?

"Position yourself as a center of influence - the one who knows the movers and shakers. People will respond to that, and you'll soon become what you project."
-   Bob Burg

Who KNOWS you?  Quick.  Name the five most INFLUENTIAL people in your community that know YOU…

Did you get to five?  If so, CONGRATS!  Now, how INFLUENTIAL are those people?  Are they the type of people that will be a CHAMPION for your cause?  The types that RUN in circles you want to in?  The type of people can make CHANGED in the community with a few phone calls?

If you did not get to five or your five are not THAT influential (yet), no worries.  Just know that your network IS your limitation.  How can you meet and befriend people of a higher INFLUENCE?

2 DEGREE SUCCESS STEP:
No one wants to be friends with people just because of who "they" are or who they know, but most SUCCESSFUL people have diversified their friends/associates in a manner that makes THEM the key to multiple groups. 

This person is RARELY the "ring leader" of any particular group.  Commonly, they are the one that easily SHIFTS from group to group with good relationships across each.  They are also the one that serves as the "CONNECTOR" across multiple groups.  (These are your "go to" people when you need something done – quick and correctly).

What can you DO to meet more people that are influential?  What can you then do FURTHER to ensure that you can keep contact with them and become the "CONNECTOR" so many people hope to know, yet so few people want to be?  The one with the most friends wins… are you WINNING?

Cheers,
Zach
