In Part 6 of the Who or What Series, on The Only Business Networking Podcast on iTunes, Grant Cardone a New York Times Bestselling author and real estate mogul who’s affected hundreds of billions of dollars in sales, Caleb Maddix, a 16 year old millionaire and bestselling author and Jill Stanton from Screw the Nine to Five, talk to your host Travis Chappell about whether who or what you know is more important, and why they feel that way. Episode Highlights: Grant Cardone Connections accellerate everything. How Grant did networking incorrectly in the beginning. If you are committed to greatness and making other people great it edifies you. When Grant wrote a check to Mandalay Bay for $4 million dollars, he provided speakers with a built-in audience. Flow power to power. The guy that helps broken people over and over is broken, you want to help people who are helping themselves. #1 networking tip - make a list of who you want to connect with. Don’t just go get a job, go work for someone. Jill Stanton Jill tells a story of when a connection led to a moment of success. How far behind Jill would be in her business without her mentors. Why Jill thinks people network with the wrong motives. It creates a more genuine relationship with people when you focus on the relationship. Caleb Maddix Caleb’s dad was always pushing him out of his comfort zone. You’ll never get to know the who, if you don’t know the what of how to do it. How important it is to associate with people who are a few levels up from you. Getting around the right people is important because of who you become by associating with them. The best way to get out of an awkward conversation. Never apologize for approaching someone, shake their hand and ask a unique question. Have confidence, respect, and hunger. 3 Key Points: You need money, connections, and support, you can’t get places on your own. When you’re networking, don’t prioritize the ask, prioritize the relationships. You won’t get to know the “who” if you don’t have a “what.” Tweetable Quotes: “Connections accelerate everything, if you’re not first you’re last.” -Grant Cardone “You need to eat with kings and queens and power players.” -Grant Cardone “A network with a bunch of weak people is not a network.” -Grant Cardone “I know that relationships pay off, it’s happened for me many times.” -Jill Stanton “You have to get through the pain to get the prize.” -Caleb Maddix “When you learn how to do something the right way, you can be around anyone you want.” -Caleb Maddix “You don’t have to be a celebrity or influencer to be a successful, important person.” -Matt Maddix Resources Mentioned: Visit Travis’ website at Join the Build Your Network Facebook group BYN.media/fb (http://www.buildyournetwork.co/fb/) Get your free mastermind course from Travis here: Freemmcourse.com/enroll (http://www.freemmcourse.com/join) Enroll in Travis’ VIP day experience (https://travischappell.typeform.com/to/Lm38Rt) .

Everyone I know has been telling me that I have to interview Jill Coleman, who is like a fitness model and captain of industry all rolled into one. Jill is the owner of the hugely successful brand JillFit, where she helps people in the areas of mindset, physique, and business.   In This Conversation We Cover: [2:40] Growing up in a big Irish family [6:10] Launching JillFit [7:25] Deeply personal stories about marriage [10:40] The mindset Jill developed to create her hugely successful international brand [13:10] Working smarter instead of harder [16:50] A crazy story about running into your ex-husband, staying friends, & the power of mindset [29:20] Forgiveness & trust [31:10] How stoicism philosophy entered Jill’s life & how she applies it to the play hard part of her life [38:25] Getting out of “blame & complain” and into relentless positivity [40:40] Using practical pessimism as a productivity tool [42:10] Why Jill created JillFit & what she’s doing next [45:20] What Play Hard looks like for Jill [54:10] Jill’s evening wind down routine [58:00] Your questions for Jill   Stoic Philosophy & Playing Hard   Memento Mori translates to remember death, and it’s a phrase at the heart of Stoic philosophy.   For Jill, it really means creating or living life to the fullest. “Remember Death reminds me that this is finite. I have a limited amount of days or hours or minutes that I get to live and be in this space, and for me, it reminds me to take action, to do the scary stuff, to invest, to make a choice when I’m scared.”   Practical Pessimism & Productivity   Practical pessimism is really just a systematic way of looking at all of the scenarios that could happen if you take a big leap.   Say you’re going to start a business. Ask yourself, what is the worst thing that could possibly happen? Most people might go to I’m broke, homeless, or have to move back in with their parents.   Then ask yourself two more questions: If that happened, could you handle it? And if that did transpire, what is one single step you could take to get back to baseline?   There’s actually a lot of freedom in the worst-case scenario because it’s almost never as bad as you think it’s going to be.   Resources: Check out http://jillfit.com/ (JillFit.com) Connect with Jill: Instagram | Twitter | Facebook | YouTube Learn more about modern Stoicism & Byron Katie at thework.com A Thousand Names for Joy by Byron Katie and Stephen Mitchell The Obstacle Is the Way by Ryan Holiday Ego is the Enemy by Ryan Holiday Watch: “Tim Ferriss on The Practicality of Pessimism: Stoicism as a Productivity System” Inbound Marketing by Brian Halligan and Dharmesh Shah The Power of Full Engagement by James E.
