| It’s simple: the average
person knows about 250 people. Some know more, some know fewer. But the average
person knows about 250 people. Maybe you're saying, I don’t know 250
people. But if you sit down and write down all the family members you
have, all the people you have met during school, all the people you have met
while working, all the people you have done business with (including the cashier
at the corner grocer), the people in your clubs, and so on
– I’ll bet you’ll come up with 250 people easily.
Now, the average person
doesn’t work hard at meeting new people. They come across new people during
work and in social gatherings. But they’re not focusing on meeting new people.
But there are those who focus on meeting new people.
We’ll call them MegaNetworkers. If the average person knows 250 people, guess how many the
average MegaNetworker knows? Any guesses? 3500 people. That’s right, 3500 people. Fourteen times
as many as the average person. That's why you'll focus on Meganetworkers.
Not those who know 250.
