- David here from Freedom Founders.
How valuable is your network?
Yeah, how valuable are the people
that you keep in your circle of influence?
How valuable is your relationship capital
if you want to put it another way.
Yeah, these are, I'm talking about people.
I'm talking about relations.
People that you know.
Again, there's going to be different circles of influence.
You know, tightly around where you are,
right here in the center, there's going to be
a very small circle of people that are closest
to you and that's going to be primarily family
or your spouse significant other.
It could be some family members.
It could siblings parents.
It could be one or two very very special friends.
Maybe it's a business associate.
Next circle out then it's probably
a little bit more community social church.
That sort of thing.
It could be your trade association people.
Next circle out could be more
of the people you do business with on different levels.
Another circle out could be just you know
general general affiliations with people.
It could be even like Facebook, right.
You know all those zillions of people
maybe you have on Facebook something like that
where you don't really know of everybody
personally but it's that outer outer ring.
So the network you have is based
on different rings of influence and
the closer they are to you the more
significant those relationships are and should be.
Doesn't mean the other relationships can't
have value but the ones that you decide
are your closest relationships should
be there by intention.
Now a lot of times we just let that happen by default.
So it just becomes whoever we decide or
whoever decides they wanna spend
time with us many times.
Do you choose other than your spouse
do you choose the other people you
decided to work with be with spend time with?
Or do you just let it happen?
Do you just show up and whoever's there?
Do you hire people just to fill a spot?
Do you go to conferences just because
someone said you should go to this
conference or you need it for
continuing education?
What's your real intention there?
See in my life my biggest asset
besides myself is my relationship capital.
The people that I know and again
I have the same same rings around me.
But I try to be very intentional about
who I put in those rings and where
they are in the rings.
Being careful about how I give out my time.
If you don't learn to say no if you
don't put set some boundaries up in
your life then you're gonna get strung
out trying to be too many things to
too many people and you can't do that.
Yes you're gonna hurt some feelings.
Yeah you might make some people mad,
but not typically not if you handle it
the right way.
You've gotta put put some gotta have
some gatekeepers in place.
I use an executive assistant who handles
all my communications email or social
media phone I don't touch any of that
and she knows who are they people in
my inner circle.
So she knows that she can let those
people in or get messages to me.
People on the outer circle she pretty
much knows how to handle those
communications and if people wanna work
into my inner circle I make them do the
work to get to me.
Now I've done the work on the other regard.
When there's people that I wanna get
to know because I've been referred to
them because I know them by reputation
heard them speak read a book been to a
conference and just maybe briefly met them
and I've determined through my
own gut instincts and my own filters
that's a person that I wanna get to know
then it's on me.
It's on me to figure out how am I gonna get
to be in that person's inner circle.
You don't typically just email 'em or
call 'em up.
You've gotta find some of the ways
which I won't go into this this video
but there's definitely ways that you
can make your connections bolder and
stronger when you're intentional about it.
It's all about being strategic.
When you've got a strong network of people
you'll find that the collaboration
the synergy the board of advisors that
you have around you the resources (mumbles)
one step away from getting to anybody
you want to of real significance or
one step away from that key resource
that you need to figure out what that
next thing is that challenge where you're
stuck instead of having to go online to
the Internet or just go blind trying
to find somebody.
It's much better if you go through people
you know because they're gonna give you
the best information and if they don't
know they know somebody in their circle of influence.
So it's very valuable to take a certain
amount of time in your life your busy
busy life and map out your circles of influence.
I mean actually do it.
Map them out starting with the most inner circle
then go the next circle out, next circle.
Do at least three maybe four bands of circles
and see who are in those bands.
Who are the people that you spend
the most time with?
You know Jim Rohn said very wisely that
you become the average of the five people
the five people you spend the most time with.
And I think he's right and if you're not
totally satisfied with where you are in
life, if you feel like you're challenged,
if you feel like you're handicapped, if
you feel like you just can't break through
that next barrier in life then I suggest you
look at who is in your closest inner circles.
They may not be the right people.
They could still be good people but
maybe they need to be pushed out to an
outer ring so that you're not spending
as much time with them.
Find the people who will help challenge you
push you keep you accountable, give
you the straight scoop when you need that
push or that help to get to the next place.
That's what's done it for me.
It's like getting out of my comfort zone
stepping up my game, moving myself into groups,
communities where I'm definitely not
the smartest person, where I feel a little
bit intimidated - which is a good thing.
It's not bad to feel a little bit intimidated
that I'm in such a strong group because now
I've got to step my game up.
I've got to engage.
I've got to not be fake, no no not be fake
just step up and be present.
Be authentic be real.
That's what people want.
They want people that are authentic
not people that are fake.
So those are just some quick tips that
just I was thinking about this week
as I made the rounds and some of the
groups that I'm a part of.
It's like intentionally, 'Who am I
who am I attracted to?
Who's attracted to me?
Are they the right people both ways?'
That's what you gotta think about in life.
That's my tip for today.
Remember always stay focused on your freedom,
I will see ya next time.
