INFLUENCE your NETWORTH

Network = Networth

Let me present to you, the essential principles for building personal influence, which is widely accepted as the most inflation-proof form of currency.

Influence holds enduring value beyond monetary assets like Bitcoin, gold, or real estate, highlighting personal connection and honor as the foundation of power and sovereignty.

Let's dive deeper:

(1) Close your mouth and listen: One should talk less and listen more, applying the 80/20 principle (speaking 20% of the time and listening 80%). This approach helps in understanding others better and killing ego.

(2) Who questions leads: Asking questions is a powerful tool to lead conversations. Using 80% of speaking time to inquire allows revealing others' true desires and how to connect with them.

(3) Dig for deep desires: Deep connection comes from understanding what others really want (power, wealth, peace, or something else). Helping others achieve their desires builds true influence.

(4) Keep records: Taking notes after conversations preserves valuable knowledge on people's desires and helps maintain relationships as interests rarely change over time.

(5) Don’t be a Fake: Fake flattery is despised by influential people. Genuine compliments only and refusal to blindly say yes are crucial. Strength, humility, and loyalty are valued traits.

(6) Be humble: Ego destroys influence. Being humble, honorable, and possessing integrity is essential to be valued in circles of influence.

(7) Be a leader: True leadership looks after others without expecting rewards, takes responsibility for mistakes, and acts out of honor, not ego. Leadership grows influence day by day.

My Inference.

When lacking money or assets, personal influence is the currency that ensures enduring power and independence. Honor what one gives to the right people builds this influence.

Ultimately, the above-mentioned seven steps guide towards becoming an humble, sincere leader whose personal network equals true net worth.
