How Relationships Can Be Your Shortcut to Success-with Sam Khorramian-EP35

During this episode of the Lab Coat Agents Podcast, host Jeff Pfitzer speaks with Sam Khorramian, the CEO and Co-Founder of Big Block Realty, about how attending mastermind events and surrounding yourself with successful business owners who freely share their strategies can lead to enhanced success and life-altering opportunities. Listen to new ideas about how to level up through building relationships with key people.   Episode Highlights:  Sam Khorramian is a college dropout who loves to learn in non-traditional ways, including attending seminars and mastermind groups. When you hang out with successful people at mastermind events, things will start happening that you never saw coming. Success starts and ends within the environment you put yourself in. The only shortcut to success is relationships. If you want to level up, you’ve got to level up with stronger relationships. When Sam attended mastermind sessions, he began learning things that weren’t being taught in other seminars until much later. Attending masterminds allows you to learn from someone who is doing something on a high level in their business, that you can apply to your business. Look outside your industry for innovation. Sam finds successful people outside his own arena that inspire him. The War Room gave Sam and his partners opportunities and hacks no one in their space were talking about. He believes in borrowing other people's success and credibility. You know you're in a good room when you start wondering what you're doing with your life. They follow up with an executive retreat to implement the things they learned. This is a great strategy for taking lessons learned and applying them immediately. Some of the biggest wins he’s had have come out of those implementation retreats. A coach challenged him to attend conferences without his phone. He realized it was never going to be the end of the world if he couldn’t get to something immediately. Go to a mastermind to get your one critical nugget. Jeff loves going to masterminds for the relationships. Build as many relationships as you can because you never know what will happen. These successful people want to support and want to be involved. Successful people are always accessible. If there's someone you look up to and you want to spend more time with them, find a way to bring them value. Sam shares the magical question you should ask superstars when you get the chance to meet them. You’ve got to be a giver before you’re a taker. Sam describes what The Closing Table is all about. If you want to be with people who are winning on a higher level, The Closing Table might be the room for you. They discuss syndication as an investment strategy.  Syndication is when a group of people pool resources and money to do projects that are bigger than they can do on their own.  Look at what you can do when you have the right mindset.   3 Key Points: Level up with stronger relationships. Follow up conferences or masterminds with dedicated implementation sessions. Successful people are always accessible.   Resources Mentioned: LCA Marketing Center: LCAmarketingcenter.com Lab Coat Agents: LabCoatAgents.com Sam Khorramian LinkedIn, Facebook  The War Room The Closing Table Digital Marketer   Connect with Lab Coat Agents: Lab Coat Agents on Facebook Lab Coat Agents on Twitter Lab Coat Agents on Instagram Lab Coat Agents Facebook Group
