Episode Highlights: 

Brian McRae

Brian runs a really large meet up every month in St. Louis and is a mortgage broker.

A great question to ask is “tell me how you got started?” to glean wisdom from people.

Brian followed up with emails, handwritten notes, and other personal ways to get business in the mortgage world.

Before the market correction, Brian focused on building his business and didn’t do sub-prime.

Amy Porterfield

Amy is a fantastic internet marketer and a master at digital course creation.

How an Instagram influencer provided value and ended up on high profile podcasts.

Find your own ways to support people, asking them is the lazy way.

Jon Gordon

Multiple best-selling author and has written 15 books.

His clients include the LA Dodgers, Atlanta Falcons, Campell’s Soup, Dell, Southwest Airlines, and more.

The thing that creates influence the most, is value.

Jon wanted to give up several times because he felt his speakin didn’t have impact.

Jon was driven more by love than fear and had the determination to create and add value.

Jon still gives free talks today when it feels right.

You have to take one core message and go deep and then wide.

3 Key Points:

If you can’t get business from someone ask them how they got to where they are.

If you go to add value and you don’t get a response, don’t get discouraged, get creative.

Value creates influence.
