I get it. I like the samples at Costco too.
Here's an excerpt from this book, so you know what you're getting into. It's from Chapter 4, Daddy's Money Connections Without Daddy's Money.
“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go with others.”
- African Proverb
Think about how rich kids get internships. What’s the stereotype?
Daddy knew somebody at the firm.
As I wrote in the introduction to this book:
“If you haven’t figured it out by now.
Life is about who you know.
It’s everything. Connections are everything.
And people who have connections will always get the job, over people who don’t.
Think about it. Let’s say you’re a hiring manager in 30 years.
And your best friend from college has a kid who wants to work for your firm.
What are you gonna do? Say no?
You’re at least going to interview the kid right. I mean he could be sniffing glue and walking around wearing a bicycle helmet with hair sticking through the holes.
You at least owe your best friend giving his dipshit son an interview.
Sometimes even if there isn’t even an internship posted, you’ll let the dipshit hang around the office and grab coffee.
Being the right person’s dipshit son is a life hack.
The problem is, not all of us have those connections. Maybe you didn’t come from a wealthy family. Maybe you’re first-gen.
Or maybe you do come from money but that hasn’t translated itself into the right open door yet.
Either way, what I’m going to teach you in this bible.
Is how to make “daddy’s money” connections.
Even if you don’t have daddy’s money.”
And it’s actually quite easy.
Here’s the system in a nutshell:
Find someone who works at the company you want to intern at.
Form some kind of commonality with them or give them positive emotions through flattery and sauce (in your email).
Ask them for 15 minutes of their time. Then, once you get them on a call…
Ask them to refer you for the position.
Yup, it’s that easy. Has worked for me and it’s worked for countless other students I’ve coached or taught through my content.
And I’m sure some questions are popping into your head.
“Who should I email??” “How do I get their email address??” “What do I write?” “What do I say on the call???”
And of course, the most common concern:
“Aren’t I just using them?”
Great questions, if I do say so myself.
Let’s tackle them one by one (continued in the book)...
