Having the Right Mindset in the Right Rooms with the Right People

Have you ever heard someone say, “Show me your five friends and I’ll show you how successful you’ll be?” Well, I want to go deeper than that. Today, I’m going to walk you through how to be intentional and take empowered action that will help you build genuine connections that last and that are mutually beneficial.

The problem is that people go into these networking rooms with a self-fulfilling mindset when the key is to gain as much information as possible to understand what a person needs, where they’re trying to go, what they want, and what tools you possess that will enable you to support them. This is how you make an impact, and this is the energy that will come back to you. Let’s dive in and learn how to take the right mindset into the right rooms with the right people!

🔑 You can’t build a career or business by being silent or keeping your head down and grinding.
