Craig Ballantyne

Networking has been a lot of my net-worth

People that I've met have allowed me to overcome my anxieties, and be a better leader.

Craig shares that being from a small town and broke, he had every excuse to stay in that bubble. 

Tips for those that have introverted tendencies.

Go with a position of strength and ask simple questions: Your name, what do you do, what are you super excited to learn here?

The key to great relationships is listening and repeating back a summary of what they said.

Change your mindset about the space you are about to walk into.

Who you know is going to lead you to what you need to know.

Position of Strength is an underrated aspect of networking.

3 Key Points:

Be willing to be a "yes man" to experiences that allow for natural connections to develop.

Plant seeds early, and genuinely connect with those that are better than you.

Try and figure out how to have that "position of strength" so that your networking connection can go deeper.
