S5E62: Stop Networking and Start Building Relationships that will Change Your Life

The Mentee Podcast

Being around successful people can be impactful and motivating. Building relationships can help you gain clarity, focus on your vision, and take action.

Adam Eidson, Season 2 host for The Mentee Podcast, joins me to discuss the benefits of being part of a Mastermind class. Could this change your mindset and your direction for the year? How can getting into a relationship with outstanding individuals help you grow?

Tune in to the episode to achieve your goals and connect with people better!

Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:

• Build relationships
• Take action
• Have clarity and accountability
• Grow and be better

Episode Highlights:

[04:10] Take Action and Make Connections

Geoff Woods used to run The Mentee. Back then, Geoff said, "Anybody, call me. If you call me, I'll help you." So Adam did, and Geoff answered. From there, they built a relationship and went on Mastermind weekends, where Adam learned to hone the skill of building relationships.

[06:06] Add Value

Geoff invited speakers such as Ron Lynch, the marketing genius behind GoPro's remarkable growth from a $2 million to $150 million company in just two years. Adam found meeting these successful people enriching.

[07:58] What is it I Want?

Align your vision and goals. Losing track of your dream can happen; coaching can help you stay on course. Inner work requires reminding yourself of what you want. Accountability and clarity are essential for achieving success.

[10:33] Transformational Change

Being around people who have achieved epic success can be inspiring. There is vulnerability and transparency; everyone aims to gain personal growth and learn from each other. The mastermind event is not about exchanging business cards but building relationships and adding value. The experience is not transactional but transformational, where you can be your true self.

[13:15] Making the Best of My Day

Ron Lynch encouraged people to make the best of every day, like putting a coin in a slot machine, and to think about what they want others to say about them at their funeral. With these unforgettable stories, Adam highlights the importance of living a life with purpose.

Notable quotes from the Episode:

[08:04] “What is your vision? What are your goals? Stay aligned with your vision and goals.”

[08:44] “It’s easy to say, ‘I want a raise’ or ‘I want to lose weight’ but it’s the inner work … it’s reminding yourself, hey, what is it I want?”

[12:04] “Don’t go network. Build relationships.”
