Bluewire News – 10th Oct 2015

How’s your weekend going?   Mine’s been great so far!

I wanted to write this email to you to share how I connect with people online and to introduce you to the person who I model myself on when it comes to building relationships.

The short version: 

I recommend watching this free video training session on

How to build relationships and strong networks by John Corcoran

(opt-in required)

The longer story:

The other day I confessed to the geeky habit of sticking my goals on my bedroom wall.

(…many readers wrote in with pics of their own post-it notes, whiteboards, chalkboards and print outs of their own goals — I LOVE that!)

I told you about my “Conversation List” of 100 aspirational contacts who I am in the process of forming relationships with.

You now know the process I follow to get on their radar. 
I follow their material, I connect on social media, subscribe to their emails and try to be helpful and generous to them. Very often this can be achieved by writing an Amazon review, leaving an iTunes review or simply expressing sincere appreciation of their work.    Eventually I invite them onto my podcast and build a relationship from there.

This process works when you are genuine and the person I model myself on is John Corcoran.

The reason I am writing is to say that John has just released the 3rd part of his videos series.  I’ve just been watching them myself and I encourage you to check them out.

As John says, “networking is not a nice-to-have soft-skill”  it is a critical business skill.  No-one can do this on their own and building relationships is a learnable skill. John teaches us how.

Here’s a few things that John and I would like you to you think about… 

Do you have a plan to build better relationships with the influencers in your industry to increase that income? If not, don’t you think you should?

Most people know ‘it’s all about who you know’ and that your success is dictated by who you surround yourself with…

Yet their actions don’t seem to match up with that belief.

Why? 

They think they can’t do it – because we all erect barriers around ourselves. 

You may be thinking “you know… I’m so busy, I don’t have the time to build better relationships with influencers in my industry.” 

Or you may be thinking…  “you know, my industry doesn’t work that way.”

Or “this won’t work for me because I’m an introvert”.

You’re not alone in these thoughts. Nearly everyone has them.

But: anyone can also overcome these limiting beliefs.

In this video, John Corcoran, the former Clinton White House Writer addresses some of these limiting beliefs. 

Video 3: The Formula for Your 6-Figure Business (opt-in required)

In this video, you will learn: 

• A few case studies of people who are taking classic and timeless strategies for connecting with influencers and VIPs and using them in innovative ways.

• How Jeremy went from knowing no one to his “dream job” in 9 months, even though he had zero private sector experience

• the stupid mistake John made when he graduated from college (do not follow his example!)

• How Bill doubled his revenues in 90 days using the strategies John teaches

• How Kevin used a strategy as old as time to grow his business to over 25 employees

• how you can get massive results by leveraging free or inexpensive technologies to connect with the influencers in your industry

You can also catch up on John’s first 2 videos if you want to see all three videos, click here. 

By the way you should remember John Corcoran from our chat on episode 69 of our podcast.  He’s a great guy and that’s why I am sharing this with you.

Cheers,

Adam
