Once upon a time I thought I would be a video editor.<\/p>\n
It’s what I wasted over $10k in college to learn.<\/p>\n
And it WAS kinda fun.<\/p>\n
So a year or so after graduating, I applied for an assistant video editor job in downtown Chicago for one of the more prestigious video editing houses at the time. A very nice place, top notch (although extremely snooty and elitist<\/em>) clientele, and one of the “places to be” for anyone looking to break into the biz.<\/p>\n Anyway, I was definitely not the most qualified.<\/p>\n I had probably 4 months of real experience.<\/p>\n And yet, I got the job without a fight<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n In fact, I only went in for two short interviews!<\/p>\n And this is despite the fact there was a line of applicants (many more qualified than me) including an in-house guy who worked there already, who really should have been promoted to the position before giving it to someone else.<\/p>\n What did I do to snag this golden opportunity?<\/p>\n What was my secret?<\/p>\n Well, nothing, really.<\/p>\n I just happened to live in the same small town that two of the senior video editors grew up in!<\/p>\n Can you believe that?<\/p>\n Well, as the old saying goes:<\/p>\n “A good lawyer knows the law, but a GREAT lawyer knows the judge!”<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n And you know what?<\/p>\n This is true in business<\/em>, too.<\/p>\n Your chances of doing business with someone with a fat list of people who’d love to buy your product has FAR more to do with you knowing the list owner than having a great product. <\/p>\n Hey, I didn’t make up the rules.<\/p>\n That’s just how it is.<\/p>\n And here’s why I bring it up:<\/p>\n Doing joint ventures is what the November Crypto Marketing Newsletter<\/a><\/strong> issue is ALL about.<\/p>\n Not just online JV’s, either.<\/p>\n But also in your local<\/em> area, too, if you want.<\/p>\n IMHBAO, it’s the most profitable “skill” you can have.<\/p>\n You still have time to subscribe at:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
