Today's Olympic Movie Recommendation: International Velvet​

Reading time: 22 seconds

You might wonder why I'm still watching the Olympics every second I can (and talking about it every day this week).

Well, it's my newsletter and I can do what I want. 🤭 Seriously, Reader, it's because being a successful author and empire builder requires consistency and creativity. And a plan.

Just like these Olympians have!

You need a structured plan designed to build a strong, profitable, and successful business. Oh, and it has to be executed day after day, week after week, month after month. With discipline and consistency.

There is no plan that says, "Just do what you feel like doing when you wake up tomorrow. Maybe try posting on LinkedIn, but only if you feel like it. Maybe do a follow-up call, send a thank you note, or answer your emails. But seriously, only if you want to."

Olympic athletes are world-class and they aren't winging any part of their plan. So it got me to think that most are "winging" their networking, and I was wondering why.

I'm pretty sure it's because they haven't been taught to have a plan, or how to put theirs together. So I created one for them--for you!

It's the 12x12 System™—a structured framework for building and nurturing 12 key relationships across 12 intentional categories of professionals (the ones who can and should be referral partners for you). Think of it as your Olympic training regimen for relationship-building.

And yes, if you're an author, whether you want to sell books or services, you need to be a world-class networker!

Reader Beth V. Walker called it what it is:

“The 12 x 12 networking matrix is brilliant and makes it easy for anyone to master networking. She stresses patience and sincerity—so refreshing in today’s world!”

Patience and sincerity. That’s the secret sauce. Just like an Olympic athlete doesn’t expect to medal after one training session, you shouldn’t expect a meaningful referral relationship to form after one coffee meeting.

The 12x12 System™ keeps you consistent, intentional, and authentic—three things that separate networking gold medalists from the rest.

All you have to do is follow my system and before you know it, you'll have more business than you've ever had before. Is it simple? Yes. Is it fun? You bet. It is easy? Well, no, everything worth achieving requires some hard work. But it's easier when you follow the plan!

Tomorrow, I’ll show you the move that separates good networkers from great ones: the strategic follow-up.

I am, as always, cheering you on from the sidelines,
