Tip of the Week

Hey everyone! I'm currently soaking up wisdom at the Mastermind to Millions event with the brilliant Brad Hart and Jay Fiset. One golden nugget I've picked up? The Intimacy & Influence Scale. Trust me, it's a game-changer. Here it is:

Intimacy & Influence Scale

  1. They do not know who I am

  2. They know who I am… but it does not matter to them

  3. They know who I am and have a perception/judgement of what I do/ who I am

  4. I have had a conversation/interaction that we both remember… this could include an endorsed introduction from a mutual friend

  5. Relationship - I have “Given first in a couple of meaningful ways”

  6. I have their phone number in my phone

  7. I am “present” to special events (bdays, special events, book launches, family events)

  8. Intimacy - I have their phone number in my phone and my texts and calls are welcome

  9. Consciously looking for ways to support, engage and create together

  10. I have contributed to them in a MEANINGFUL by their standard

  11. Influence - They take action because I ask them to (They do things simply because I have asked them to)
