Taker of Time? or Giver of Value?
In the first outreach⦠The person will make an instant judgement. Is this person a ātakerā or āgiverā⦠In seconds⦠They will be curiously delighted or cough up disgust. Example: The last 3 Skool community owners I was talking to about buying their community⦠ā¦all asked ME if Iād be willing to help them with monetization as a partner rather than straight purchase. I am NOT suggesting you use āI wanna buy.ā as a ploy⦠Itās just more proof⦠When you start a convo with something VALUABLE to give⦠Whether it is⦠š Advice. Be careful it doesnāt come off as judgement. There is a RIGHT way to do this. š An invitation to a group of like minded people who share common problems. š A gift that has UTILITY Or⦠š Capital (Financial or relational) When you start out the convo and relationship as a GIVER of value not a TAKER of TIME⦠They start ASKING YOU for time and partnering. Getting judged as a ātakerā is like an 8 year old getting socks for Christmas⦠Even if the intention was good...Giving is also about perception. If the kid doesnāt want socks (like most peeps donāt want to jump on Zoom)ā¦the interaction will be judged with disgust. Disgust is a bad taste to put in someoneās mouth on the first āhello.ā Rooting for Ya, Travis
