Good morning, good morning, good morning. I'm outside so it must be a networking
Thursday. It's freezing outside. Well maybe not freezing but close to
freezing. I think the high's like 40 today, my wife told me. So I'm getting
all set up on social media here. Alright so I got that all set up now. I
like to, I like to come outside for when I talk about networking because I have a
mentor that has a saying that says, you got to get out the house. And that's what
networking is all about. Business networking is all about getting out of
the house. You've got to get out and talk to people. You've got to mingle with
people. You've got to rub shoulders with people. You got to share your elevator
pitch. You got to, you got to talk to people. You got to get out the house. And
so I like to get out of the office and stand here on the patio and freeze my
hiney off so I can I can make a point this morning. And as we're talking about
network marketing, I had a fantastic conversation with the the CEO and
president of the northeast Tarrant County Chamber, one of the chambers in my
local area that I just began going to. And we had a great conversation
yesterday. We talked for about 15 minutes. Wasn't really intending on it but we had
a great conversation. We were talking about networking and particularly we
were talking about building a team. And I think that's one of the biggest mistakes
that new business networkers make is that they don't have a team mindset. They
maybe come from a business, a large organization, that they were on a team or
they led a team but they don't translate that into being
an entrepreneur and how that works. And so maybe they're a solopreneur. Maybe
they're the only one in their business right now and they don't have a team. And
you go and let's say, let's say you're a, you got a car washing business and it's
just you and you go to cars and you wash them. And you've got a friend that
has is a high-end oil change business where
he does high-end cars. Maybe you know European cars, something like that, German
engineered cars and you meet them at a networking event. You're like hey that's
cool man and we can talk car stuff because we're both like cars. That's
great but you never put together that hey maybe that's a potential person that
could be on your team. And what you have to do and what I want to encourage you
to do when you are at a networking event is look for people that you can
collaborate with and put a win-win proposition together. So what does that
mean? What does that look like? Well a win-win proposition for the car washing
guy, the on-demand car washing guy and the high-end oil change guy would be
that the oil change guy says, hey I want to offer free car washes to all of
my people after they get oil change and I want that to be signature
and I want it to be high-end. I want it to be nice. I want it to be a good car wash. And
you say well let's make that happen. Maybe you charge $40 for a car wash
because it's really nice, it's detailed but at cost you can do it for $20. And
your oil change guy, the guy that works on German cars he says I could pay
you $20 bucks. I can factor that into my cost and I want to add that and have it
be a bonus. And you come here on-site and you wash the cars
and I'll line up, like you know you'll have a steady stream of ten a day or
something like that, that you can wash. So you're making money. You're breaking even
but you're also gaining new customers because they only need an oil change
maybe once every three months but they need a carwash every week. And I'm
starting to shiver out here. It's so cold. They need a carwash every weekend so you
just put together a win-win proposition where he's happy because he's able to
offer greater service for his people and you're happy because you have steady
business and opportunity for more business. And that's what I want you to
think about in this new year in 2018. I want you to be thinking about what's a
win-win proposition? What, who is someone in this room that I could connect with
and I could put together a win-win proposition? Collaborate on something we
could both gain more business and more exposure and take advantage of building
a team in our business networking events? Alright I'm gonna end it there because
I'm freezing. But really I want you to be thinking about this in 2018
because this is huge and could be huge for your business. Alright I love you
guys. I care about you. I want to see your business succeed. Please like, subscribe,

networking. I'd love to help. Alright bye.
