(Or Is That Particular Train Of Thought Totally Overrated In Your Humble Opinion?)
So how many of you are already at least somewhat familiar withe the outrageously popular “Sharpreneur” podcast? Co hosted by infomercial King and former original “Shark Tank” cast member Kevin Harrington. And also co hosted by mega best selling author world renowned direct response marketing expert Seth Greene.
Between these two power house marketing legends alone. Their proven expertise combined has helped countless entrepreneurs get to the very next level or two.
So there may just be something potentially profitable to this long held notion. You definitely can determine certain things based on the company you keep. Profit seeking entrepreneur would you not agree?
Are You Starting To Appreciate How And Why Being Of Service To Your Specific Target Audience? (Is An Incredibly Powerful Marketing Tool!)
Notice the man on the right side of the featured image with this particular post. Why it’s none other than marketing/copywriting legend Dan Kennedy.
He’s a mega best selling author, extremely sought after keynote speaker. An extremely well paid consultant. And equity partner etc. Dan’s paid workshops are extremely popular. Not to mention his extremely high end Mastermind group programs etc. 😀
The guy’s not only a self made multi millionaire. But he’s also power networked with the “A” listers of business and commerce all over the world for decades.
That being said ladies & gentlemen. (And BTW entrepreneur. Just in case you’re wondering.) I’m in no way shape or form currently affiliated with any of Dan’s current products or services. 😀
Although I did purchase and have read and re-read his outrageously popular book many times. “The Ultimate Sales Letter.” Definitely worth reading. And that particular link offers the PDF in a free, (no opt in required download for the time being! So grab it while you can!)
More than likely. With Dan’s already insanely busy schedule. He and other centers of influence like him. They don’t just agree to appear on every podcaster who invites them on their shows, correct?
So the podcasters who invite “A” listers like both Dan & Dean Graziosi. They definitely need to be heavyweights in their own right, agreed? And with a mere 225,000 downloads per episode. They definitely qualify. Don’t you agree?
Do You And I Really Place Far More Cred On The Marketers Who Consistently Rub Shoulders With The Big Boys And Girls?
Case in point. Recognize the mega influencer to your right? In the featured image above. At least some of you who follow the mega influential gurus in the real estate investment niche.
Recognize five time, mega best selling author. Extremely well paid consultant, coach, mentor and highly sought after keynote speaker. The charismatic Dean Graziosi, right? (Not an affiliate link. Nor an endorsement of any kind BTW ladies & gentlemen. Just in case you’re wondering! 😎
And then there’s the appearance on “Sharkpreneur” by the guy in the image on your right. In the video directly below. Anyone recognize him? 😀 Because he’s not exactly a household name just yet! 😀 And the vast majority of the most influential podcasters in the entrepreneurial/business success/motivational self help space.
Aren’t currently beating a path to my door! 😀 But things can and definitely do change very rapidly! Don’t you agree?
So Who or What Mega Cred Building Assets And Or Resources Are You Currently Leveraging?
I will definitely be the 1st to admit and readily acknowledge ladies & gentlemen. It definitely wouldn’t or won’t hurt my resume. The moment I can honestly add the following credentials to business bio.
Mega best selling author! Extremely sought after keynote speaker. High end expert business growth strategist! Coach, consultant, mentor and generous philanthropist! 😀
(And while we’re at it! Just for extremely good measure. Let’s also through in “Ted Talk” guest presenter too! 😎 I may as well go all in on the fantasy, right?)
I’m sure once or as soon as Amazon and the other major book publishers gets wind of my 1st book being completed. They’ll definitely want to promote it like crazy! And then the major business radio, TV and highly respected business publications will follow!
(You laugh but all is takes is the right entrepreneurial spark to ignite the long term success flames!) Here’s my real point. Sadly we both know there are literal players.
But also a a tons of wannabee pretenders out there as well, correct?
Both on and on and offline. Posing next to either their short termed rented high end cars, houses or yachts etc. 😀 Flashing their rented bling. 😀
Or trying to infer they know this or that major influencer. When at best. They may in fact be simply paying the influencers hourly fee in order to try and leverage their clout/brand. (Sadly it happens way more than you may think or even realize!)
Entrepreneur Please Don’t Be Shy Or The Least Bit Hesitant About Constantly Over Delivering Value For Your Specific Tribe!
Of course I’m attempting to leverage some major centers of influences clout! By associating myself with the fact. We’ve both appeared on a highly rated, (not to mention!) extremely well respected podcast. Co – hosted by two major players in the entrepreneurial/direct response marketing space!
And for the record ladies & gentlemen. I definitely plan on strategically milking that cow for all it’s possibly worth. Like you wouldn’t! 😀
Sure neither Dan nor Dean have ever heard of me. And maybe never will! 😀 But it doesn’t change the undeniable facts. Now does it? So I ask you again profit seeking entrepreneur. What if anything can possibly be determined by the company you keep?
Whether You And I Consistently Rub Elbows With Centers Of Influence Or Not! (You Definitely Have To Get and Keep Things Going!)
