Initially, when I meet someone, I want to find out what motivated them to reach out to me. What’s happening when you’re asking these questions initially during the connecting phase, you’re finding out what motivates them. You’re finding out where they’re at in life. Then I’ll ask questions like, why is that important to you? How does that make you feel? I’m getting them to dig in a little bit deeper because I want to find out their true feelings. I want to find out where they are.

When you first meet an individual, you don’t have to go out and become their best friend. You don’t have to ask them how the weather is.

I went into the corporate collections business. It’s not where I wanted to be, but I ended up being desperate for a job, and I applied to see what it was all about.

Learn about the things that changed my life, and how they can impact yours as well. If we ever meet at an event, please remind me. I’d be more than happy to share that story.
