TIME-STAMPED SHOW NOTES:

  • [00:27] Today’s Topic: How to Network with Rich People
  • [01:05] There are a lot of people that want to network with the wealthy.
  • [01:20] Typically, if you want to network, you need to figure out what they do for fun or provide some sort of value.
  • [02:25] Sometimes, networking can be indirect: you may end up connecting with a friend of the wealthy person you are trying to snag.
  • [03:40] We’re speaking in generalities, but obviously, the advice works.
  • [04:00] Don’t act like a fanboy, treat rich people like regular people, because they are regular people.
  • [05:00] Neil doesn’t get fan attention, but in general if people have questions, he will answer them.
  • [05:20] Neil treats everyone the same.
  • [05:35] Once someone treats you like you’re different, it’s a turn-off.
  • [06:30] Neil had a great experience of meeting someone in an airport.
  • [06:50] The person followed up and so Neil followed up in return.
  • [07:00] That’s it for today.
  • [07:11] Go here to see how many downloads the show is getting. Also rate and review to help us meet our goal of 1 Million downloads per month. Hopefully, we’ll see you at the live event in L.A.!
