    Talk to Strangers, my article from the Tennessean about my dinner with Scott and Kaye.

    Inspired by Dan Martel, who invites strangers out for dinner each place he travels to.

    Scott generously gathers strangers together for a Limitless Lunch or Limitless Dinner, which he calls a “blind date for entrepreneurs”.

    Lessons learned and steps you need to take to organize a meal for yourself.

    Scott uses Clarity.FM to research people to invite. Here's my page if you're interested.

    If you have to use your phone, you have to pay for dinner.

    If you cancel last minute you’re banned for life.

    Scott sends a monthly email after the events to check-in.

    He celebrated his birthday with eight complete strangers in Miami.

    “When you make the people around you winners, you become a winner.”

    Scott Oldford NBN RadioScott started selling eggs at seven years old. He started programming by the time he was nine. He had his first client at eleven.

    Nobody knew how old Scott was until he was 16.

    Scott became obsessed with knowing people.

    Every single part of it was because of relationships and connections he made.

    There’s a social currency established in life.

    How Scott keeps track of his relationships.

    Scott’s podcast, The Limitless Podcast, launched and went to #1. He wrote 1,700 emails to his contacts to let them know about it, which helped him reach that milestone.

    Scott sends short video messages to his clients. They sometimes reply with their own videos.

    FEATURED LISTENER: Anthony Witt at The Champion Entrepreneur podcast. Thank you for your iTunes review.

    Marcus Whitney moved to Nashville without knowing anyone. He went from serving Nashville technology leaders as a waiter to becoming a recognized thought leader himself.

    It’s easy to get motivated when you have kids and no idea of how to pay your bills.

    Open your mouth and share your story.

    Just show up. Don’t be the invisible person in the back of the room.

    Find meet ups and groups to network with.

    Preparation always helps people feel more confident.

    Be more outgoing by preparing your story before attending a networking event. Know what you want to be known for.

    Bring your business cards.

    Networking is really a form of personal marketing.

    It’s an impression game. How many times have people seen you and your name? What is the quality of that impression?

    Marcus’ TEDx Nashville Talk.

    You’re going to have to lie to yourself to get over the bias that limit you from doing things your heart tells you to do.

    It’s pretty hard to listen to your heart when your mind is telling you the ways you will fail. Tell yourself you’re already the thing you want to be.

    [Tweet "Tell yourself you’re already the thing you want to be. @marcuswhitney #nbnradio"]

    marcus whitney nbn radioRemember something that was really great on your down days.

    Failure is just part of the process of developing mastery.

    It’s not always about winning. It’s about growth, reflection and awareness of how you’re moving towards mastery.

    Down days are just days. Days in months, months in years.

    On Moontoast.

    Marcus is an avid LinkedIn stalker.

    Tons of media exposure for your crowdfunding project won't necessarily help you as much as your network will.

    Reinventing Your Personal Brand by Dorie Clark

    Dorie shares her thoughts about changing your job or career and repositioning yourself.

    She sold her bicycle on Craigslist to a copy editor at Harvard Business Review. This led to her opportunity to write for HBR, but she had to ask.

    My interview with Jason Saddler about fear of asking.

     

    When reinventing yourself be clear on your own narrative. Take control of it. Highlight the strengths you gained previously and how they will provide value in your new position.

    Dorie shares some personal pitch tips.

    How to find mentors.

    Try to build a mentor board of directors. Find people with areas of specialty that can help you specifically.

    Talking about Stand Out.

    How to become recognized as a true expert in your field.

    Become a connector and organize an event. Check out Robbie Samuels’ Socializing For Justice.

    Dorie recommends Contactually as a great CRM tool to manage your relationships (so do I).

    Make it easy for people to connect and find each other at events. Use name tags with “I’m looking for…” for attendees to fill in the blank.

    My interview with Contactually’s Zvi Band.

    Content creation and inbound marketing is important.

    Wait for seeds to sprout.

    It’s 100,000 times more powerful for people to come to you, than for you to come to them with hat in hand.

    Read a bunch of things and become knowledgable enough to write about it. You can also do interviews about the topic and write about those. Do it in a way that adds something new to the dialogue.

    Your network will build itself, once you’ve built the content that shows people you are worth it.

    The first step is to start with your own blog, “establish clips”.

    Start by creating your own blog. Here’s my ten minute tutorial.

    We discuss the need for an assigned person to run social media at conferences and events.

    A big mistake is not posting enough to social media.

    If you’re not pissing off a few people on social media, you’re just not using it right.

    My CRM tool is “work your ass off.”

    Guy uses social media as a marketing tool. He’s not using it to make friends.

    Behavioral analysis. Four temperaments: Mad, Glad, Sad, Scared.

    Steve talks about our six part decision making pattern.

    Myers Briggs encompasses how people think internally about the world around them.

    DISC assessments tell you how people will do things.

    How online personality assessments stop short after you get your results.

    There are two types of people:
    obtainers who are more aggressive and outward focused.
    maintainers who maintain order and are more laid back and passive.

    Me-me conflicts. I don’t get in the car unless I’m driving it.

    When it comes to networking and our behaviors, they can work for us always, but they can work against us if we have desires that are not in sync with the behaviors that we possess.

    Steve was a housepainter for 18 years. During this time, he would spend hours helping the homeowners with their businesses and personal problems.

    He wasn’t doing what he is, he was doing what he could to earn money.

    His wife told him he needs to get paid to talk to people.

    Steve went through the process to master personality analysis and trained with a mentor. He is the most successful student with clients in over eighteen countries.

    He discovered his niche at 38 years old.

    Steve provides advice for people who are making a career change.

    Statically, people change careers three times on average in America.

    Sit and think about what you’re doing and what it is you want to do. Keep your ears open for the door of opportunity to knock.

    Never leave on a negative.

    Take baby steps.

    You only have one go of it. Don’t sit on your deathbed with a bunch of shoulda, coulda, wouldas.

    We become what we think we need to be in order to be successful in front of other human beings.

    Religion and human interactivity. Do we perform for the gods or for others?
