Today we're talking about getting reconnected and why it's going to make a massive difference in your life in so many ways. This has been a year of disconnection… and because of that, now more than ever, it’s time to make that change and get reconnected. It's important that we double down and lean into the fact that social interaction has not been happening in order for us to reconnect with people and build new relationships. We’re lucky at the moment, actually, because it’s more simple now than ever to connect with people... even though it's not the way we might be accustomed to. By starting to have those conversations again with people we know, like, and trust, it’s going to increase our happiness, sense of community and lead us to having a mutually benefiting relationship. We also need to remember that people really do want to hear from us and that they want to know that we're interested in what's been going on in their world too. So join me this week and let’s take action in getting that connection back today.

If you're listening on podcast, make sure you drop us a review and let us know exactly the same thing.
So diving into today's topic, it's, it's something that is so important, because over the last year, so we've been in a crazy state of being more disconnected than we ever have, before. Less people are going to work in the office, many people are working from home for the first time in their whole life. And so many others aren't able to get together outside of the workplace outside of their homes, to be able to connect and really build core relationships. Events aren't happening, and other things that normally lead to social interaction. And frankly, networking aren't happening today. So it's really, really important for us to double down and lean in to the fact that that's not happening for us to be able to build and reconnect with people that have been impactful in our life or build new connections, relationships. So today, I think that it's simpler than ever to be reaching out to people, even though it's not the way that you have been going about it before.
So we're definitely going to talk about that here in just a second. But I want to share a couple quick benefits of reconnecting with people from your network and connecting with some new folks. So one of them is just frankly, you're gonna grow your level of happiness by getting connected with people that you know, like and trust that know like and trust you and being able to share some true quality conversations and connections with those people. It's going to end up leading to heightened happiness, heightened awareness, true sense of community, because we're tribal beings. We need that connection, we're seeking it on a regular basis, and so are other people. So you want to remember that want to reach out to folks that people really do want to hear from us, they really do want to hear what's going on in our world. And most importantly, they want to hear that you're interested in what's going on in their world. So that's one of the big things that'll definitely lead to some happiness.
The second thing is that it gives us an opportunity to be of service to be able to help other people. So by reaching out and, and being able to connect with somebody, we're going to be giving them that opportunity to engage with us. But by being genuinely interested in hearing about what they have going on in their world, and asking the question, how can I be of service? How can I be a value? How can I assist with what you're doing? How can I help with your mission, we can end up leading to creating a situation where maybe there's something that we can do that's going to really end up helping change their life, maybe there's somebody we can introduce them to maybe there's a service that we know of that we want to connect them to maybe there's a service that we have that we can connect them to.
The third thing that's a really big one is that it ends up giving them an opportunity to provide the same, it feels really good to give contribution feels really good to help people. So to be able to have somebody else genuinely listen, or have somebody else be able to maybe make an introduction, assist you in some way is absolutely a huge benefit that you're going to get by reconnecting and staying connected to people within your network. And so if we're going to go about doing this, because we know that we're going to be happier, we know that we'd like to contribute, we like to help other people, we know that the connection is really important. We know that other people like and want to help us.
So how do we go about doing that? Well, it's really simple, right? We've got so many different channels that we can connect with people on from phone to zoom to FaceTime, to social media, to email to everything in between. We just got to choose how are we going to go about reaching out to some people and one of the things that I like to do one of the things that I think I might even encourage you to do is the fact that we're heading into this holiday season is the perfect time to be thinking forward. Well what are we looking to accomplish in the next year and how can other people help us get there and start crafting a little bit of an overview of sharing, well, what is this next year look like? And also sharing an overview of what this last year look like. And so a conversation, or an opening, email or text message might go something like this. Hey, john, I hope that you and your family have been doing absolutely amazing. I want to share a little bit of update because it's been a year of being disconnected as being a year of isolation. I just feel like I haven't been in contact with as many people as I'd like I I feel like maybe you feel the same.
Want to share a little bit about XYZ has happened this year, we've had this kind of successful experience, this challenge we dealt with, I'm wondering what your challenges have been. I'm wondering what your year has been like? Would you be open to catching up sharing a little bit about what's going on. And, you know, jumping on a quick 10 minute, 15 minute phone call? The result of that is that a lot of people are going to say yes. Some people are going to be busy. They might not see it, they might not have time, but many people from your personal network, from your connections are going to be very interested in hearing what you've been up to. And they're going to be interested that you're interested in sharing a little bit of space for them to share what they've been up to. And so the result of that is going to be you're going to build some more connection. And while you're on that call for everyone who's spent time with me, you know that I do this, and I practice this actively because my mentors taught me and it made a big difference is always go into it having a question of how can I be of service? How can I help you with what you're focused on and doing? And then also always have an ask yourself? So somebody asks you that question, hey, how can I help you? Well, great, I'm actually focused on these two things. I'm wondering if you happen to be able to know, anybody from your network, who might be interested in something like this, or know anybody who might be able to introduce me to xyz.
The result of that is tremendous. Because like I said, People want to help people. And the result is that people do business with people they know, like, and trust. And so if you go into it from a genuine, authentic place of being interested in the other person, and you share a little bit about what you've been up to, and you position it in a way that allows people to truly simply understand what have been the challenges you dealt with? What's the year been like? How have you overcome those challenges? What are you looking at doing or what is the next year look like and how can I help or how can other people help? All of those things are going to end up leading you down the path of having a really high quality conversation, that's going to make a difference for the people who you're speaking with, and for yourself as well. So I encourage you, when you take action on this, reach out to at least five people you haven't spoke to in the last six months and reach out to at least five people you haven't spoke to in over a year. At the very minimum, reach out to those folks.

What did you take away and what kind of conversations that you have, and how did that feel? Because truly at the end of the day, I want to help you make your life better because other people have helped me make my life better. And that's really what the investor mindset is all about. Yes, we invest in real estate. Yes, we're growing our business. Yes, we're creating an incredible community of people. But at the end of the day, people help people. So I'm glad to be able to serve you and I hope you'll let me know how else I can be of service. Hope you guys have a beautiful day. Thanks so much.
