What is a connector? I can’t think of a better way to explain this than by sharing the story of my friend Joe Polish. Joe is now known as the founder of the Genius Network, but he started out with nothing. I share how he rose from nothing to achieve overwhelming success by learning how to connect people.

Joe started out in the carpet cleaning industry. He taught carpet cleaners how to grow their network thereby growing their businesses and their profits. He took what he learned in that industry and then applied it to many others. He learned that being able to connect people is a wonderful skill to have and a necessity in business.

Today I share how connecting with connectors directly affects your business by shining some light on Joe’s background and what I learned when he started the Genius Network. See, I was supposed to be one of the original members, but the value was lost on me at the time. Hear why I changed my tune, and how connectors have affected my business.

The three key insights for this episode are:

  • What are connectors and why do they boost social influence?
  • How to approach connectors so they help increase your status.
  • What are the 3 common mistakes people make when connecting with connectors?

Connectors are not in and of themselves the key to fortune, but they are certainly the maps to those keys. Check out the Alexism for today’s episode for an even better quote. Have you connected with connectors? Did you make any of the classic mistakes?
