Show Notes:

• Frank’s number one habit is sitting down on the Sunday before every week and mapping out his week.
  • He also takes 10,000 steps every day and wakes up at 5 in the morning.
• Focus on the relationships.
• Learning is important, but whatever you do the relationships are really important.
• People need to get to know you and like you.
• Networking is not just getting your business card in others’ hands.
• Go in with the mindset that you’re going to help other people:
  1. It makes you think.
  2. It gives you a “cloak of invisibility.”
     • Your mission becomes helping people and so you feel empowered to do it!
• Relationships are as old as time.
• The bad thing about social media is that it kills the “high school reunion,” but the good thing about social media is that it can connect you with like-minded people easily.
• Things that make a difference:
  1. Your presence.
     • No one wants to hang with a mope.
  2. Altruism or generosity,
     • People are attracted to those that give to others. It’s not about money.
  3. Integrity.
     • You have opportunities to stand out every day.
