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"]

Remember 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.

Networking Tips
1. Get good photography.
2. Pay attention to your LinkedIn profile.
3. Get your pitch together.

Since 2012, Clay Hebert has helped over one hundred entrepreneurs, makers, inventors, authors and filmmakers raise over $25 million on crowdfunding platforms like Kickstarter and Indiegogo.

Record your networking tip or audio comment at speakpipe.nbnradio.com.

Clay's first Kickstarter client was Gold Star Children by Mitty Griffis Mirrer.

Clay has worked on over 100 crowdfunding projects.

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

The average crowdfunding campaign creator needs 500 - 1,000 backers.

Make a list of the 100 people you need to reach out to first.

Mike Delponte and the Soma Kickstarter campaign.

Hacking Kickstarter from Tim Ferris' blog.

Segment your personal address book into different groups and compose emails for each group.

If you want to know who your most important people are review your text messages.

Build a share page to make it easy as possible to your core 100 people.

Create personal emails, it’s not about blasting people (or blasting their eyeballs).

Clay has shared the stage speaking with people like Seth Godin, Tim Ferris, Pam Slim and James Altucher.

Constantly try to help people.

Julia Roy is Clay’s awesome girlfriend. Follow her too. @juliaroy

Wake up and figure out how to help other people each morning.

Helping other people has been the most useful and powerful connection tool I have ever used.

Most freelancers need to be better at positioning and selling what they do.

Tell the story of who you are and include testimonials.

Networking is one of the most important things to help your business.

Start hosting dinners.

Who do you want to invite to your private dinner? Skip the parties and host your own dinner.

Go from attending to hosting.

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.

 


Everyone likes to be asked. @dorieclark #nbnradio

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.

Use the ladder strategy to move up to better publications.

Guy Kawasaki begins by talking about his work with Canva.

Peg Fitzpatrick and Guy are like characters from “24”.

The Art of Social Media: Power Tips for Power Users

Self-proclaimed social media experts.

Check LinkedIn Recommendations and Twitter Lists of social media consultants before engaging (or ask me).

Guy speaks 50 – 75 times a year.

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.

Guy would start networking again by using LinkedIn and Slideshare.

People (more or less) have to be who they say they are on LinkedIn. It’s a much more serious network.

Google+ is a fantastic place.

Calvin Lee @mahemstudiosused Twitter to network his way to Guy Kawasaki (the story is in my book)

It’s not how you get in (to a job) it’s what you do once you’re in.

In technology it doesn’t matter where (your position) you get in.

People (in Silicon Valley) do not care about your background.

Enchanting people requires that you are likable, trustworthy and competent. How you communicate that has radically changed because of social media.

The importance of a smile.

We talk about writing and traditional versus self publishing.

The hard part about writing a book is not the writing, but the marketing.
