DEAR, THIS COULD GET YOU THE BIGGEST ASYMMETRICAL RETURN

DEAR, THIS COULD GET YOU THE BIGGEST ASYMMETRICAL RETURN

If you want to grow your income and net worth, talk to strangers.

Talking to strangers can give you the biggest asymmetrical return… more than anything else you do.

That means you give something one ounce of effort and get back 1,000 times what you put in.

The truth is, you are one human relationship away from getting what you want in life.

Do you know the story about Mark Zuckerberg's business partner?

When Zuckerberg was in college, most people in his dorm didn't talk to him, but there was one guy who did.

This person didn't specifically seek out Zuckerberg for conversation. He was sociable with everyone.

But, they did become friends…

And when Zuckerberg was going to launch Facebook, this friend put in $15,000.

This friend is Eduardo Saverin, and that money turned into more than $15 billion dollars!

Talk about a good return on investment!

Google it, you won't believe it. The IRS even made something called "The Saverin Rule" after Eduardo Saverin left the US, took his money, and renounced his citizenship so he wouldn't have to pay taxes.

Now, I'm not saying you're going to meet and connect with someone like Mark Zuckerberg… but making friends with the right stranger has the power to help you scale.

One of my mentors once said: "Guy, always be social."

We all have times when we don't feel like being social. It's normal. Just know that not being social has probably already robbed you of millions of naira.

Being shy, awkward, or having social anxiety aren't valid excuses anymore. Elon Musk isn't what you would call a "social butterfly".

He still got Arnold Schwarzenegger to buy one of the first Tesla Roadsters. He still goes on Joe Rogan and talks for 3 hours. He still gives interviews. He is still social.

Someone is asking, how do I start a conversation with a stranger, I smile a bit because it is no problem at all, start with a few points:

How to start a conversation

Project positivity. 

Start with a compliment. 

Ask for lunch advice. 

Introduce yourself. 

Wear a peacock piece.

Ask for advice. 

Crack a joke. 

Ask plenty of questions.

For example, you might have a colleague who loves jokes and another who prefers to focus on work only. Basically, read the room!

THE QUESTION IS, HOW SOCIABLE ARE YOU?
