907. How to Become Someone People Actually Root For

Brian discusses a short piece of advice from writer and investor Sahil Bloom: be easy to root for. Show up, do what you say, be kind, be reliable, and you become a magnet for opportunity. Brian takes it out of the realm of nice sentiment and turns it into a working definition entrepreneurs can act on immediately. His case is blunt. Your next real opportunity comes from a person, and that person makes their decision about you in a room you are not in. What drives that decision is not talent. It is risk. Brian also discusses the specific habits that quietly make people reluctant to recommend you, the difference between a delay and a silence, and the one mistake that causes this entire approach to backfire. He closes with a thirty-day audit and a message most people are avoiding sending. -- Get on the list to receive Brian's monthly newsletter: https://nodaysoff.com/subscribe/ Tune in to this podcast every weekday morning for 10 minutes or less as Brian shares lessons and stories about how to make positive changes in your life and business, one day at a time.
