327 Connecting With Successful People, Self Confidence & Why I Prefer Going More Niche With Your Podcast
Summary: Inspiring Personal Plug of The Week (00:02:30) This week's personal plug of the week is the High-Income Business Writing Podcast with Ed Gandia. In fact, episode 22 of Ed's podcast caused me to think of a number of valuable topics that I decided to share in this episode, while I was recording on the fly. Some of the topics that were inspired are as follows. - Self Confidence - Authenticity - Transparency - Focusing on a specific niche audience. - Why I subscribe to successful shows in other niche fields. Connecting With Successful People (00:23:37) How I have come to have such a close personal connection to several very successful individuals is a topic that seems to come up frequently when I talk with folks who are looking to get their brand noticed. I don't believe that there is any sort of formula for getting on someone's radar. However, in this episode, I do share some of the insights that I have gained by tracing the steps that led me to the relationships that I have built the successful people I most wanted to do life with. Also, I have had the privilege of witnessing how others have got to the place where they also got noticed by these successful individuals.
