Non-Sleazy Networking Strategies for Long-Term Business Relationships with Joe Polish

If you’re in business — or want to be — you need to know my friend Joe.

Joe Polish went from being a dead broke carpet cleaner, addict, and abuse survivor to founding Genius Network — one of the highest-level entrepreneurship groups in the world. He’s helped build thousands of businesses, including giving me some of my earliest breakthroughs. And he’s generated hundreds of millions of dollars for his clients.

What’s his secret? Don’t cringe —

Networking.

Not the superficial, self-focused, business-card flinging you might be picturing.

Instead, Joe Polish teaches entrepreneurs how to build genuine, long-term, and generous relationships with other human beings. Because, in his words, “If you're a person who cares about others and can solve their problems… there's no limit to what you can accomplish.”

In today’s MarieTV, we dive deeply into Joe's childhood adversity, how to build long-lasting relationships, and lessons from his new book What's In It For Them: 9 Genius Networking Principles to Get What You Want by Helping Others Get What They Want.

Bottom line, humans are wired for connection. We need each other. But the real magic happens when we shift from an attitude of “What’s in it for me?” to “What’s in it for them?”

Joe and I both want to see more heart-centered, generous, and genuinely caring business leaders in the world. That’s how we’ll create the world we want to live in.
