I am not one of his 5000 friends. Too bad for me.

another couple of book on my wish-list
~

This is just part one and I'm already amazed at what Harvey Mackay has said. Everyone he meets he gets contact information from and finds a creative way to stay in touch. WOW!

There's a huge difference between facebook contacts and real life contacts, for sure. I love the roladex comment. Having a collection of names is easy. Having relationships with those people takes effort.

ok, step 1 is to definitley buy and read all three books mentioned. i've never heard of them. 12,800 contacts... amazing.

Great wisdom from the man who "wrote the book on networking"

Still catching up....going to skip ahead to the Complete & Unedited version....but wanted to make sure my comment was counted! ;-)

That is an incredible concept!

Wow, thank God it is never too late to start

What a great lesson to learn at such a young age....But we are never to old to start...

I have to read that book and learn how to improve my networking.

That's an invaluable lesson to learn to keep in touch with people. Thanks.

What a great concept to teach to your children. Make friends where ever you go and find a way to keep in touch. I love that. Imagine the connections you could make if you made it your mission to make a new friend every time you went out about your day.

The wisdom of his dad to teach him that at age 18...talk about planting seeds...he planted a great seed in Harvey...thx for sharing!

This gives all new meaning to "It's not just who you know, it's who they know."

It really is amazing. I started to think about this when I saw one of your shows and you told us to go out and buy a brand new book to start writing names of people we interact with...
And now to see the real value of it, of interacting with people and create relationships. It is incredible the power of association.

NOTES:
Every person you meet for the rest of your life goes into your book... find a creative way to keep in touch with that person.
12,800 people I can call and interact with.
Real life interactions and follow through

It makes you think about what i'm doing and how i should do things.

wow that is a ton of people to know, but i am looking forward to starting this habit

So simple. I love what his father taught him at such a young age - to basically remember and keep in touch with every person you meet. WOW! I have that thought soooo often when I meet new people. So many people I meet are people that I would love to keep in touch with, but I am apparently too lazy to actually follow through with it! This is great advice from Harvey's Pop!

what can i do for you? is the qey question

That's awesome! Over 12,000 personal contacts that he's built a real relationship with and keeps in touch with on a regular basis. That's powerful networking. I would like to hear some of the creative ways he keeps in contact with all of them.

Find a creative way to keep in touch with every person you know

I'm looking at my "little" contact list with a whole new perspective! Thanks!

Great ideas, looking forward to the rest

Great networking philosophy. But the key is thinking of ways to stay connected.

Wow, I finally see the pwoer in that. Sounds overwhelming. How do you possibly keep up with that?

Powerful tip --> Find a "creative" way to stay in touch!

wow how many friends in facebook!!!
Sr. Mackay is a legend

Creating value....invaluable

WOW THE AUTHOR OF HOW TO WIN FRIENDS AND INFLUENCE PEOPLE... I AM HERE AND CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR MORE!!!

Harvey is one of the most incredible writers I have read! Thank you for this interview, it really makes you think about what we are doing and how we should do things. I agree with Inger in thanking Laurynas L. (Ireland) for writing those book titles down. I have always found it difficult staying in touch with other people, i.e. old co-workers, neighbors, etc. I guess I need to go buy some of Harvey's books.

I will be better at keeping track of my contacts. I hope to hear more about his "creative" ways to stay in touch with the most casual of contacts.

Very interesting idea. I have several business cards to get creative with!

Write the name of every people you know and find a creative way to keep in touch

So the rolodex is the most valuable asset in the Mackay household... replaced by the computer now.

The worlds greatest networker-
Dig your well before you get thirsty

Thanks for books:

2. How to Win Friends & Influence People - Mass Market Paperback (Feb. 15, 1990) by Dale Carnegie
3. The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success: A Practical Guide to the Fulfillment of Your Dreams

6. Dig Your Well Before You're Thirsty.

Thanks for writing all the books down, although I knew some of them, others are new to me. This will make my search for inspirational books easier. :-)

I'm happy that this was helpful for you and maybe for others.
I knew just two of these books, the rest of them are added to my wish list on amazon :)
All the best ;)

Young people don't realize the value of a roledex with names, tel#'s, and common ground. Over the years, the value is unlimited, as Mr MacKay has in his book "Swimming with sharks". I'm looking forward to the rest of the interview.

fascinating interview. let's hear the rest.
i like the idea of the rolodex...

Great! Thank you

this is great

Unbelievable!

#246 - What great advice. The rest of the interview will be will worth our time. Thanks Eric for Mr Mackay's interview.

OMG!!! What a nugget! Everyone you meet goes into the rolodex....and creatively keep in touch with them.
This is a explosion out the gate!

I have not read his book yet. Will pick it up but it seems very much along the principles of Bob Burg's Endless Referrals. Where he gives you how to's in keeping in contact with the people you meeting and using a notecard with your photo on it anytime you send something even if it is just an article that would be of value to your contact.

What a great advice!!

The value of a good network is like money in the bank.

Good idea business cards in a rolodex and being creative.

This interview has given us a leading edge- from this day forward every person we personally meet - we will ask for their contact information - we will drop them a line afterward with a personal note to what it was that connected our conversations! Thank you Mr. MacKay & Eric Worre! How we wished we were 18 again and had Mr. MacKays fatherly advice!!!

What great fatherly advice. Thanks for the reminder that it's not just about collecting names. It's always about building relationships with people. What a great story of how networks and businesses can be built over time through consistent effort.

I knew there was a reason why I stayed with this industry. I want to be just like Harvey and you Eric. I want to be able to make a difference on many people's lives by being a great networker who offers value to everyone I meet.

It is never too late to start. I will begin my list today! Thanks Eric and Mr. Mackay

Networking is not about creating shallow contacts, it is about establishing report, relationships. But I am sure it cannot be easy to stay in touch with extremely many people.

Good morning eric, i really enjoyed this interview it helped me realize that i am truly in the right business. Thank you and Harvey.

Loved the rolodex comment, wished I would have had that advice and followed through since 18 or even 28.

Just added his books onto my Wish List.
Thanks, Eric

Well, right now I am just impressed.....

What a fine role model his dad must have been. Also for Harvey to have followed through with the suggestion. What a rich life for having ongoing contact with 12,800+ odd people.....

Wow ...need i say more

Great introduction. Looking forward to the next excerpts.

Nothing in business is more important than networking. I wish I learned that at as young an age as Harvey did.

thanks again, Maria Siro

would like to know the creative way he stays in touch with 12,800 people.

Wow! "Super" contacts- interaction AND personal relationship with each, find ways to create value with each of them. It's more than a "numbers game".
I started making personal notes of the interractions and now this reinforces that is a good thing to do.

Harvey's dad to Harvey at age 18 - Every person you meet whose business card you get, put the card in a rolodex and "Find a creative way to keep in touch with that person". 12,800 names he keeps in touch with in a creative way, wow what a powerful network of friends. This shows the importance of building relationships - - not just contacts.

Network marketing is all about building relationships with people and building your list of contacts is key!

Incredible!!!!

I like this math

WOW.... omg..... What a story...

Guess Its time I got started.

The power of a network can never be overlooked. I love that, dig your well before you're thirsty!
Thanks Eric!

The sheer number of contacts he has is mind boggling!

This is congruent with the belief that every person we meet is a valuable human Be-ing - not just a name and a face. I'm looking forward to the rest of the interview.

I like the point about the fact that Harvey can make a call and get anything done around the world that he wants. It all starts from being demonstrably serious about helping others. Also, now I've expanded my reading list!

That was a GREAT idea. To keep the contacts that you meet throughout life. WoW. He started at 18 I just starterd at 25. Better late than never. Especially when you consider your contacts, contacts. Thats when the numbers get crazy. Good stuff.

I loved the part about "extrapolated contacts" or friends of friends. It was important enough information for his father to pass on to him at age eighteen, it is important enough for us to take to heart today.

Life is all about relationships! Build them from your heart and genuinely care for others.

A quote I remember from childhood that has stood out to me from one of my all time favourite movies, the Wizard of Oz. Oz said, " A man is judged not by how much he loves but by how much he is loved by others".

what a great way to start the interview! I'm heading to amazon now for the Dig your Well book.

Great Information. Thank you Eric

Hi Eric, maybe I fell in like and in love with what Harvey said. He is so impressive, friendly and scholarly!

I think the advice his father gave him at age 18 was incredibly far sighted. Oh, that we had all been given that good advice years ago!

Mackay's dad nailed it - "Every person you meet, for the rest of your life, goes into your rolodex.And, find a way to creatively stay in touch with that person." There's a nugget.

Harvey is amazing or should I say his dad for sharing that advice

find creative ways to stay in touch. That statement is so true. We as people do not stay in touch with other folks. Place this as a game to see how many you keep in contact with.

Wow, half of the clip was for the introduction only.
Find a creative way to keep in touch with every person I know... mhh I like that.

Saludos from Aguascalientes, Mexico.

What a discipline!!!
Great sequence of episodes, first the tribute to Mr. Rohn, the person who impacted millions and now, how to keep in touch with them.
Life is all about relationships.
Great show.

Shark attack!

Hi Eric Notonly is Mr. Mackay smart i sure do like his Shark tie. Thanks A.C.

I'm a lot older than 18, but that's a discipline I'm going to apply more vigorously starting NOW!

he has a very large network of people he has met personally& can get into their warm market that way! Better belly to beely than facebook etc.

I really like the distinction that Harvey and Eric are making about having developed a real network of people that know me and I build relationships with as opposed to the superficial name from someone from facebook and twitter. The question for me is how to continue developing meaningful, real relationships that can be of value. Is it only done face to face or can it be done with our new technology?

Interesting concept... I have a couple of thousand contacts... if I add all their connections... that is a LOT of people!

Eric, Thank you for the response. I believe its never to late.

that's amazing...find a creative way to connect with your people......everyone knows at least 200 people, so imaging if u stay connected with with just 30 people that is still huge network of people to work with.

Good stuff.

Here's another Harvey MacKay Interview: http://video.success.com/from-the-magazine/harv...

Relationships are key. They have to be maintained. As you stated "real-life interactions, are what created value with". I was taught long ago to always write on the back of a business card something about the person you just met - so you could build an association with that person in the follow-up and begin to establish a relationship with.

Just as Robert Kiyosaki says: "The Rich Build Networks" !!!!!

WOW! I bought the book "Swim with sharks...", TWICE! I guess I should have read it when I bought it and DONE the contact list and data Then! Sometimes I guess I have to be hit over the head a few times to listen... I get it NOW! I am starting that list now!...

Any ideas on the best method(s) to do this? Paper, or electronic, or combination of the two?

Im liking what I hear so far. Ive heard of that system years ago but of course never followed through with it. Everything in this world is built on relationships and maintaining them. The question is how do people view you??

It is who you know!

Eric, I too was told to do this by my brother in law years ago. I started out doing it but lost the discipline very quickly. How sad, wonder how different life may have gone. Well I can teach my children and grand-children to do it.

Yes you can! And you can also start doing it today.

Great concept of getting to know people.

Can't wait to hear the rest of this. Talk about Circle of Influence!

You would think with that many people to stay in touch with , he wouldn't have time to even think much less write two books in the top ten. He should have some rare nuggets to share and I can't wait to hear his story. Thanks Eric for presenting the category of people you've brought in to share with us.

Very interesting!!

Hola Eric, I think this interview is going to be awesome excelent 5 first minutes.
Saludos. Daniel y Natali , Querétaro,México.

I would like Mr. Mackay give me some referrals please? Can you imagine what kind of downline he would have? Amazing!

One of the most phenomenal ways I know to keep in touch with everyone you meet is with the system that I market. I send out at least one custom greeting card to someone everyday and someone a gift each week. Everyone I meet goes in to this contact list with notes and birthdays. The system automatically reminds me of birthdays and anniversaries. I can add my own signature and photos. It is also the best follow up tool I know of. Click on the link by my photo if you want to check it out.

This site was created to give us information, not to try selling to everyone. Have some couth and market whatever you're selling somewhere else please.

I'm sharing information about something that seemed like the answer to what people were expressing they wish they could do easily. I would hope people would tell me about products or tools that they knew of that could help me be more effective.

show me more ;)

#246 - Harvey MacKay Interview 1 of 5 - Eric credited him with being the greatest networker. Harvey said that he was taught to keep in touch with everyone he ever met. That coupled with all the people that those people know makes the amount of people that he knows absolutely astounding. My resolve is that from this point forward, keep track of everyone I meet.

Very impressive can't wait to hear more

You got us all waiting for what's up next!!

Hi Erik,
Still with technological problems to display the videos. I am working out with Paul from disqus to solve it. Hope that by tommorrow everything will be ok. bye

Absolutely on time interview for me ... I have heard Harvey say this before and a good friend of mine once said that for everyone you meet you should send them a postcard and send them once every month or quarter JUST to stay in touch. But it must be HANDwritten not emailed. That's the key.

The key I see in networking is finding the way to keep in touch. Many times we don't control which people we get introduced to, however, we absolutely control who we keep contact with. Looking forward to watch the rest of the interview.

What an introduction!! Curious what's comming next.

I never thought about my past contacts as being useful in the future.
Good idea..

Mr. Mackay's father really set his son up for success, didn't he? Moreover, Harvey heeded what his father told him and the result is nothing short of phenomenal and doable for anyone :) Love it!

Shockingly impressive

People are a valuable resource... Thanks for the reminder

Correction......if we want success, we need to do things like document and create contacts......and that is not always comfortable.

Quite a teaser for the rest of the interview excerpts.

Build your list of contacts, document as you go along. So many times, we hear, I don't know anyone, and that is so not true. I truly believe if you want success in this business, you must WANT to do what you need to do. Regardless of circumstance, it requires your attention and hard work.

I like that explanation of networking. I have never thought of it in those terms. That makes me feel a whole lot better as my network just multiplied exponentially. Thanks Eric and Harvey.

B"H
Excellent way to explain "Network"

WOW ! Now I know probably the most important thing I can teach my 2 kids - 12 and 10. I wish I had been told this 10 years ago....5 years ago, never mind when I was starting out.
The lesson.....
Keep contact....organised contact, with everyone you meet.
Thank goodness it is never too late to start.

Yes, we could expand our influence tremendously. Good advice.

What amazing people do I meet in this business - all with very valuable advises I am happy to apply in the future!

Once again Eric, you over deliver by interviewing people that will definitely make a difference in my life! Thank you!

There's two keys, Imagine and Discipline in this interview.
Joy to everyone.

Another interesting interview.

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to meet so many amazing people!

thanks Eric!
looking forward to the rest of the interview ...

Amazing, thanks for the nuggets. I have always believed in givving out cards, however, not on documenting all my contacts. Time to rebuckle.

"2 friends a day - and freedom comes my way" :-)

Wonderful, can't wait for the next episode, thank you very much Eric for having to meet this amazing gentleman.

Really interesting

WOW, I wish I had know that at 18. But now I have this information for future use.

You know what Eric...time and time again..you validate the true meaning of networking. That REAL connection with people--face to face, in real life. It's true. Those real connections that Harvey has are more valuable because they're more personal. It's difficult to compare to people talking in person and laughing to a chat online. It's hard to replace that. At first, I thought people could do that but the reality is...even when you meet someone online...everyone should meet them in person--whether locally or nationally. It has to be done in some point in time. If only I had kept and stay in touch with ALL of the contacts that I have made over time, I would be in a much different situation now.

Something tells me that all the interviews with Harvey Mackay have a lot of things to learn me !

Hi Eric! I am amazed by all these good advices you give us each week! And Harvey Mackays advice to stay in touch with all your contacts is another one. Big thanks to you both! / Linda, Sweden

Boy, I wish I learned this concept when I was 18. I hope we learn a bit of how to maintain contain with such a vast group of people.

You know it now. :)

Something to think about. Cant wait to the next one.

This is sounding to be a really good working platform to establishing real solid bonds with people in business and networking!! Staying creatively in touch with these rolodex of friends is a great tip to learn and keep. Thanks so much, Eric...looking 4ward to the next video!! Happy Monday all!!

Eric, It is now my mission to reach out to you so that I am one of those friends on your Rolodex that you would reach out to if you ever need me...or just to say hi! So....be looking for me.

Swim with the sharks without being eaten alive was given to me by a High School teacher, great book and I was lucky to have Mr.G as a teacher

Thanks for letting us know how important it is to keep in touch with people and add value to them and what this could ultimately create.

Wish I'd have had the foresight given to Mr. Mackay. I have thrown away at least 1000 business cards after I had forgotten when and the conversation collected with the card, great insight.

What an amazing legacy to leave. Looking forward to the rest of the interview.

Amazing to have that type of contact with so many people!

I like the little note about each contact as you get their card.

Must take some time to follow up with all of these people!

Building and maintaining a network of 12000 people. I wonder what creative techniques he uses.
great idea indeed, writing something personal to make follow- up easier.
Warm regards,
Jeroen Lingier

That's a fantastic way to look at it! Can't wait for the rest.

Wow, great idea. Looking forward to hear more.

Developing relationships with people take work. I like Harvey's 'system' of writing information down about each person that he meets, including something personal about each one of them. I would be interested in hearing some of the creative ways that he has kept in touch with them. Just like in our business, the follow up and follow through are crucial in developing these relationships. Thanks!

Great idea, something personal about each contact to make follow up easier.

I have a collection of business cards & know nothing about the person who gave it to me, which is sad. Going forward I will make sure to make a notation on each card & give each card the importance by putting them into a roll a dex & not just throwing them into a drawer to be forgotten.

Great Points with the accumulation of names and what that means to networking.
Reic, you have done it again, looking forward to the rest of Mr. Mackay's interview.

Valuable point: Networking and making the contact is important BUT the real value and key is to think of a creative way to stay in touch with each and every contact!

Thanks Eric and Harvey for this great bit of wisdom.
I never though that creating a great network could be so simple.
It gave me a few ideas to tweak what I am doing to make my relationships stronger.
Thanks again.
Make it a great day!
God Bless,
-ed

I haven't read any of Harvey Mackay's books, but I definitely plan to add them to my library...I am looking forward to hearing his creative ways of how to keep in touch with people..To be successful in our profession we have to share our oppotunity with the people we know...If we can master staying in touch with people and we share our opportunity with them we are destined to achieve success and live the lifestyle of our dreams! ;-)

like to hear more

'Swim with the sharks' was the first positive thinking book I ever read back in 1988, if I'm not mistaken on the year. It must have had a major impact on me.

I'll be reading it again!

Oh boy! this is going to be a great week of training!

Love the idea and am lookiing forward to the rest.

Connie T

great stuff as always, looking forward to the rest

Finding creative ways to stay in touch. I am interested to hear his ideas on this. I have only thumbed through his books but never read any of them. Have to add him to my list.

Saw Harvey on TV this morning as well. Quite a guy ... I'll definitely have to add his books to my reading list.

Looking forward to the rest of the interview ...

Best,
Scott

Great stuff Eric, Someone once told me "Your Net worth is equal to your Network!". Gotta get a couple more books for my library. I had heard of "Swim With The Sharks......" but hadn't gotten around to getting it picked up. Now on my today's "to do" list. Can not wait for the entire interview with Harvey Mackay.

Makes me feel like I definitely need to go out and meet more people. The intentionality of this industry ceases to amaze me, thanks for the insight and reminder.

Bring value to your relationships and stay in touch with every person you meet. I have some books to buy!

More great books to add to my library. Looking forward to the rest of this interview. Thanks Eric.

Eric, the quality you bring to NWMP is awesome, people make your show and what they have to share is where the awesome comes from. Thank you.

it is not only who you know....

I have read a couple of Mr. Mackay's books and found them fascinating. Hard part for me is keeping contact. Amazing how, when I look back to the past, it seems it was easier to stay in contact with a person via a letter or a phone call. Now with email and text messages if you do not hear back from someone within minutes you tend to brush them off or not consider them friends anymore. How sad. I am also subscribed to Mr. Mackay's newsletter. A lot of very useful information.

you sure have some influential friends, Eric. Looking forward to the rest of this interview.

Looking forward to tommorow. It may not always be about who you know, but rather who they know.

WOW! Two books in the Top 15 Inspirational books of the past 100 years! Time to add my library.

I'm looking forward to learning how one can "creatively stay in touch" with everyone you've ever met.

I have never read any of Harvey's books YET. But he is saying the things we as network marketers need to hear. I wait for tomorrow to hear more from this fascinating gentleman..

Eric - Can you post the link to where you can find the list of the top 10 books in 100 years.?

I like that what his dad told him. I'll try that myself, meet people and keep in contact in some way. An not just to pitch my opp.

Thank you Eric,
Networking is amazing. Networking is the secret to success.

what a great interview.
I'm waiting for the #2

Ron Ackerman - Israel

WOW, that advice hit me square across the face: get everyone's contact info. I just realized how many networking opportunities I just passed up. Time to start a new habit, from now on I'll put everyone in my rolodex.

Thanks Eric for this amazing interview. I'm going to buy all his books.

Nando

looking into his books, I like reading about how people network and build real relationships with large numbers of people...looking fwd to the next parts

Wooo it's amazing.....one of my goals in my life is to meet at least one person each day. Frecuently i met more of them, but this sir it's great....

I think we have to much to learn in the next parts of the interview.

Have a great day,

From Cali, Colombia

Great interview, Eric. Truly demonstrates the power of the network and not just who you know, but who they know.

This guy is great. His approach to gathering names and networking is awesome.

Great interview once again. What I'm learning about Facebook is that the people that I failed to stay in contact with, many of them are on Facebook, and I'm now able to connect again through the power of the internet.

Can't wait for the rest of the interview.

Thanks again....Tony Logue

This has been my favourite one so far. Go Eric!

Foord Yates.

What a guest! Thank you Eric.
Loking forward for the next episode.

I'm sure we all have met some great people over the years , but its the follow up and keeping the contact thats most important

REally look forward to the rest of the interview

Contacts are not just who I know, but those contacts the people I know have in their roller deck. Thank you Erick and Mr. Mackay.

Great post and interview. I still think the best book of all times is Dale Carnegie "How To Win Friends and Influence People."

Harvey Mackay is a great author and love how he networks. Great tip on how to network.

It's never too late to start making that list. Key is to find way to stay connected.

A personal list has so much more value than an unqualified list.

I really like all the interviews that you have Eric all my recognition for you. Wow it is great all the people that we can meet and all of them can be our prospects. And that´s right we can find people in twitter, facebook. etc and the most important thing create value in everypeople show all the benefits that we can share with them

The circle of friends we all have can be a powerful resource. Each member knows a group that has a group. Learning to network effectively, elegantly and graciously sounds like a great course. Who produces it?

Great interview I can't wait to here the rest of it
I believe this is just what I need

Episode 37 of Eric Worre's 100 Episode Throw Down Challenge:

Too Cool. Harvey Mackay on NM PRO.. I don't know what to say... Great info regarding Networking on this episode.

At first, when I heard this idea from Harvey Mackay on an interview with Darren Hardy(Success Magazine), I couldn't help but think, "That seems like a lot of work!" It's a great plan but a lot of work. What I just realized is something that I'm reminded of because of Jim Rohn.... that things that are easy NOT TO do, are also easy TO do. And this is one of those things. A SIMPLE DISCIPLINE

Okay... You got me anticipating & waiting for the rest of the interview...
I met Mr. Harvey in my early 20s at a National Speaking Association in Dallas and I had no clue who he was but that I just met a nice , friendly and down to earth guy who said hello to me.
Wished I had his autograph now... :-) Will take good notes, 20 years later..ha
You're the best, Eric for sharing this interview with all of us.

Fired up man about this interview. I have a good feeling about it.
Alex Tita.
Here as promised.

Great info! I wil be buying some books soon.

What an amazing networker is this man. And for sure he's right, it all about building relationships and building networks. Looking forward to the next shows. Best regards from your biggest fan.

wow, everyone he's met since 18!!! I'm really looking forward to the rest of this interview.

just bought dig your well on amazon. eric, you should consider having your own amazon store on here w all the books. i LOVE to read and appreciate all the recommendations!

This is what I've come to learn... facebook and other social networks are about quantity (I don't know how I got over 1400 facebook friends and 600 twitter followers) while the phone, and to a slightly less extent, e-mail enable quality relationships.
My personal strategy is to move people from my facebook friend list to phone and e-mail contacts, making them a "real person" rather than "a face and a name" :-)

I look forward to rest of this interview!

I love mathematical networking, why didn't they cover this in school?

What an amazing thought to put every person one meets in a data base and find a way to stay in contact with them.
Oh to be eighteen again.....

Thanks a million

Creating true value and stay in connected.

That is incredible - I think I can learn a lot from this man!!

Need to "friend" Harvey. lol

That is amazing. I think it is great. That is exactly what I am doing...but very late in life..
Can't wait to hear the rest.

Look forward to picking up some new books to read. Great advise about creatively keeping in touch with every person you meet along the way.

WOW thats a neat thought and lesson to learn. about staying connected. Look forward to the rest

Creating and developing relationships one at a time.

This is a great interview. I can't wait to see what he says in the next ones. I'm going to dust off my Dig Your Well Before Your Thirsty book and read it again. Thank you Eric!

Great advice. Thanks for the book titles.

That's great information--rolodex every person you meet and find a creative way to remain in contact. Terrific way to build your list. Thanks Eric and Harvey

Each of us has 200 contacts so anyone can build a strong business with smart professional habits. Last time I did the math 200x200 is a big diamond of residual income.

I think Eric was a fan of the old serial movies where each episode left us wanting to know what was next. I've read many of his books and am a fan of his. Thanks Eric.

I'm with Dee in Canada..how do we get back to 18 and really make use of Harvey's tremendous advice? :-)
What we can do is start over now! Really looking forward to this week's video series-Harvey Mackay is a hero of mine..also just bought the giant Offer from Les Brown as I re-aquainted myself with him last week through your video at Jim Rohn tribute.Thank-you Eric.

Sounds like the great advise from Harveys Dad can be summed up as "Pay Attention to Life"....document your contacts as they "can" become extentions for future intiatives....value all but realize some will have greater value than others.

That's impressive. Keeping up with 12k plus people shows a real creative side that I would bet few have.

Look forward to hear the rest of the story.

Eric - so much said in 5 minutes -
Smart man Harvey Mackay's dad was on his advice to his 18 year old son

Ok...question 1...how do I get back to 18 again?? LOL
No...the real question is how to keep in touch with them all as you go along....follow up is a weakness for me.
Can't wait for the rest!

We make so many connections in our lifetime. I look forward to hearing the rest.

I'm eager to hear the rest!

What an interesting interview and man. I keep a "networking" binder, which has business cards and brochures from people I have met in different businesses and industries. I use it to refer one to another and connect people who would have otherwise not met. Looking forward to the rest of the interviews with Harvey. This was great.

That's another book I need. The nugget of information that I gleaned was to"Find a creative way to keep in touch"

It's so easy to gather business cards and scraps of paper and then do nothing.

I learn something here every day.

Thank you Eric, I am excited to learn more about networking. I learn new things each day about this business and I love learning new creative ways to network! I am looking forward to the rest of the interview.

I listened to Harvey's interview with Darren Hardy, the editor of Success magazine a while ago. Such an amazing guy. He gave so much emphasis on being disciplined. The follow up of contacts is such an amazing thing. He has practiced it for a while. Truly, perfect practice makes perfect.

Awesome, Thanks for the book referral and the message of staying in touch.

Wow! 2.5 million people,that's influence. Looking forward to the rest of the interview.

og my God this is impressive - cant wait to get the rest!

The resource available be having contacts can make all the difference in the world.

After watching this first of 5 I can tell this will be worth a gold mine of information

Had the book must get it again ,Harvey news letter is full of information also.
Thank you for your time Eric.

Mr Mackay addresses one of the greates fears in networkmarketing: the people-I-know-list. There is a solution!! So curious to find out what's the creative way he stays in touch with them on a regular basis.

Wow! I really got impressed! That's a discipline which turned into a habit which turned into a treasure.

I really hope to understand some examples of how he noursih as many contacts. I mean... Plus than 12,000 people... if we do the math is close to 40 contacts A DAY to interact with (and think that it would be a once-in-a-year call or meeting). So I publicly show my admiration for such a great Networker.

Intersting technique. Looking forward to the the interview series.

I like this amazing story of networking; how many of us have missed some pretty important past contacts that some how need to be re-captured, nourished and supported today. This math I understood and am just totally blown away by the power in the simple message.

Looking forward to tomorrow's vid for more wisdom!

Wow - you know so many fabulous people Eric - I am so pleased that you choose to share their wisdom and knowledge with us!

Many thanks!

Very interesting idea. I am curious about how to keep in contact with all of these people creatively. I really like the idea of having a network of contacts before you need them. I wish that I had started this a long time ago, I can look back on my past and see a lot of networking opprotunities that I have missed out on. Definately need to get his books and study his techniques.

Mr. Harvey Mackay is amazing! WoW! Thanks Eric! Going to get hold of the book you mention.
Creating value... this is a great principal!

Many thanks for the introduction Eric

I liked his book "Dig you well before you get thirsty", but have not read his other books that seems to be rated higher according to the list Eric read from. Another great networking book in my opinion is Never eat alone by Keith Ferrazzi

If anyone, anywhere is looking for a mentor then they need look no further than Eric – even though they may never meet, the stuff we learn here, on NWMpro.com is invaluable and vital..... to our mindset and our success.
Eric is networked up with the best and then, so are we!
We must learn this stuff, then go do it..practice, teach.
Working with my friends, we are consistently replicating and duplicating best practice.
Now, thanks to Eric and Harvey Mackay, we can pick up nuggets that are passed down, generation to generation, including from the greats like Jim Rohn.
Now I will be pleased to learn from Richard’s father.
Though I am starting late in life, I know a lot of people.
Now I will “FIND A CREATIVE WAY TO KEEP IN TOUCH WITH THOSE FRIENDS...PEOPLE I CAN CALL”.
For many, our prospects, they need to think ‘dig your well before you get thirsty’. We will help them with that philosophy.
This set of 5 interviews is going to be excellent.
I am so looking forward to the next four. Thanks and ..... Thanks again Eric.

Eric: You landed one of “The Crown Jewels “with Harvey Mackay!
His stories and suggestions are the penultimate read for anyone in Network marketing; no make that MARKETING ... period. In swim with the sharks, Harvey tells the story about a negotiation during the formation of a International Soccer League where at the last moment, one of the owners representatives withdraws his marker, choosing not to participate as the deal was no longer to his liking. That one story, read many years ago, has influenced me more than any other suggestion I have ever read. It was foundational in forming my belief that it is essential to follow my gut and having the confidence to walk away from a deal that is no longer in my best interest. I look forward to the whole interview. Thanks for bringing this living legend to Network Marketing Pro!

Very interesting start to an interview I am looking forward to this week. What an amazingly disciplined way of keeping up with acquaintances that will be friends for life. Caring for people taken to new heights. Thanks again for the introduction to amazing people in the world that I would never have met before this business.

The wisdom of following his fathers advice really paid off !!

Simple concept yet powerful. Thanks for the nugget.

amazing
looking forward for number 2 ............

You have done it again Eric, introducing Harvey to all of us is going to be priceless.
You are a diamond.
Very kind regards
Peter Ragg

Double Diamond even.....!

There are different kind if friends. Personal contact is the best way.

A very intriguing interview - I remember you mentioned Harvey Mackay at the seminar on 15 Feb so thanks for streaming this interview - must get the books!

Wow, I will buy his book right away :) What was the name of the book ? Dig your wall before you`re thirsty ??Eric, Where can I buy that book ?

The title of the book is :
Dig Your Well Before You're Thirsty: The Only Networking Book You'll Ever Need by Harvey Mackay.
It is a fundamental book in my library. All the best, Bill

Do you know where to buy it ? Thank you Bill :)

amazon.com :)

Thank you so much :)

THANK YOU ERIC FOR INTRODUCE ME TO MR. HARVEY.
"EVERY PERSON YOU MEET, FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE, ROLL HIM AT THE FILE, LITTLE BIT ABOUT HIM ON THE BACK OF THE CARD AND FIND A CREATIVE WAY TO KEEP IN TOUCH WITH THAT PERSON."
THIS IS THE BEST LESSON TO ALL THOSE PROSPECTS AND DOWNLINES THAT SAY: "MT CANDIDATS' LIST IS FINISH, I DON'T HAVE ANY MORE PEOPLE TO EXPOSE TO MY BUSINESS."
I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT SESSION.

Its like...
"Be vertical. Think lateral"
and
"Stay Focussed. Go wide".
Huh?

Foord Yates.

Amazing... looking forward to complete and uncut interview

"find a creative way to stay in touch and create value with them." Great advice!

Outstanding Inerviews w/ Harvey Mackay! Interview # 1 of 5 was so Good...I had to Watch 2 thru 5 and Each of them were A+!! Thank You as always.

Eh? - how do you get to see 2-5 ahead?

Great advice for anyone. The more you network the more you learn. The more you know, the easier it is to interact with more people. It all builds upon your ability to relate and interact with different groups of people.

Building a network is what it's all about, but the way Harvey has done it is truly amazing!

"... and find a creative way to stay in touch with them".
I think I just heard 99.99% of social media-ites say: "Oh, so it's ok to slyly slip in my opportunity".
No no no.
This is going to be a great one Eric.

If I would have understood this before.....
Ive always heard its not what you know but who you know.
Thanks

"..... and find a smart way to keep in touch with them."
Such a great advice!
Looking forward for more...
Have a wonderful week everybody.

Amazing - that is real networking.
Wish I had started earlier, anyway no time like the present.
Looking forward to the rest of the interview.

There's definite power in building and maintaining a database of contacts - it's clear the network could be endless.

Just because we never started something like that at age 18 doesn't mean we can't start it NOW!

You can never have enough friends, especially the ones that you can count on one hand.

..or especially the ones you can count on....!

My daughter is turning 18, next month, and, believe me, this great idea of staying in touch, in a creative way, will be passed on to her: What a great present her first smart phone will be!

Hello Eric
What an interesting interview. I'm waiting for further anticipation

He sounds like someone who could teach us one or two things.

Wow! 12,800 contacts that he creatively stays in contact with. That is networking. Can't wait to hear the rest of the interview.

I KNEW his name sounded familiar and then you hit me.... How to dig your well... my favorite!

Wow.. So impressive.. Looking forward to hear the rest!!

Amazing. So curious to find out what's that creative way he stays in touch with 'm on a regular basis.
