Securing Freight

Well your assessment is mostly correct, although there are a few things I would like to point out.

First of all most guys that drive a truck do so because they're generally not the most social person. Now that's not every single driver, but I would bet that far more than less have done this job because it gives them a chance to be away from other people rather than networking.

The other thing is that's great when the guy that is in your kids karate class is the biggest shipper manager of whatever biggest giant colossal place that will give you unlimited freight and you see him three times a week etc etc.

There are plenty of people that are in their truck on the road and they have no networking of such things.

In addition to this I'm sure there are plenty of people that are in trucks that have done all kinds of things that have all kinds of experiences. But in general, I don't think people go into Trucking because it's such a great social thing, and you're so close to people constantly that you're going to fall into networking.

It's immensely more likely that you would be delivering somewhere and you would get to know the people there, although if you're working for a broker you're not supposed to penetrate beyond that wall, so that's sort of negates that unless you can put it on hold until your time passes that you can go after that.

As far as athletes go, it's ridiculously easy to make money when you're a celebrity.

Celebrities and athletes are terrible horrible business people. Vapid, unintelligent, self-absorbed people with an over inflated sense of who they think they are, make terrible business people.

But they are worth a Bazilian dollars and they have enough money to invest in businesses and Investments until whatever their investing in works, and they know all the top people, only because of their occupation, not necessarily because they're the greatest networkers.

Remember, when you can throw a ball, the recruiters come to YOU, you don't go to them.

They send the girls to YOU, you don't go to them.

The newspapers come interview YOU, you don't go to them.

And all of the top business people from all around the world come to You. Because YOU have money.

Hi I'm Mr so and so here's how I can make you money I make everybody money, you have a ton of it, I'm going to make you more.

Wow I only get about a thousand of those phone calls a day. My manager takes all of that and organizes it and we sit down and we look at what the very very very very very best opportunities are for me, and I choose from all the tens of thousands of offers that come flying in from everywhere, everyday, 24 hours a day.

I don't lift one finger, I don't have to network or talk to anyone ever, if I choose not to.

I am the great so and so, I am worth a ton of money, and everybody wants me to invest it with them.

That's not networking. It's actually the opposite of networking.

Networking is attempting to build your social connections.

Networking for them is OTHER people trying to be connected to them.

Complete and total absolute opposite situation.

Look how much these guys make for throwing a bowl. If you can't stay wealthy on that, you're just a moron.
