Do you ever feel like there’s an “INSIDER’S CLUB” that you never got invited to?

A circle of people where everyone seems to get the best business opportunities, hang out with the top experts in their niche and where everyone seems to know each other?

They get invited to the private events where they can talk to the top experts in their niche about their business:

They get texts like this from the top influencers in their field, asking THEM out for lunch:

They get invited to speak at conferences:

Their business constantly gets featured in the media:

And they don’t just to business together, they’re FRIENDS that do fun things together that they would never do with their family and friends:

What if I helped you become a part of that club?

How much more successful, easier and fun would your business be if you had your own private circle of by likeminded business mentors, partners and friends?

And what if you could become a part of that club even if…

you don’t live in a major city or a country like US
you’re just 20-25 years old
you have no existing business connections

How would your business and life change?

What if you were surrounded by likeminded business mentors who have successfully build the type of business you want to build?

How great would it feel if you could hang out with some of your idols? You know, all of those people that you look up to, whose blog posts you read and who seem to be so far out of reach?

And how much easier would your business be if they became your mentors and you could lean on them for help?

The types of mentors that would help you…

Answer your toughest business questions in minutes because they would take the time to read and respond to your emails, even though they get hundreds of emails each day.
Discover new opportunities for growing your business by having a 30-minute conversation about your business over coffee with you when you’re in town.
Avoid making the same mistakes as they did in their businesses by gently pointing them out to you before you make them.

What if you had a circle of business partners who run similar businesses at a similar level as you do?

They would love talking to you about your business and brainstorm ideas how to make it better each day, and who wouldn’t roll their eyes when you talked to them about a new big idea that you’ve got.

They would love sharing the opportunities that they get in their business with you. If they got featured in Business Insider, they would introduce you to the editor as well because they knew that you had a great story to share. They would call up their friend and ask them if they would be ok with you guest posting on their site.

They would do anything to help you succeed.

Being surrounded by business partners like that might help you…:

Grow your following by introducing you to their friends who run podcasts and blogs that you want to guest post on, but seem out of reach for you right now.
Help more people through your products and services by having others refer their best clients to you, because they know you can help them change their lives to the better.
Spread the word about your business and reach a bigger audience by helping you get your work published on major websites and publications.

And what if you had a support group of like-minded friends that have the same interests as you do?

You could find new friends who run their businesses, but different people who do different things and all have the same interests and desires as you do. Who want to make a difference in this world. Who are interested in constantly improving themselves. Who want to be great at what they do.

You know, the type of friends that would really get what you do and support you in your goals and ambitions. The type of friends who don’t judge you for different or try to bring you down, and encourage it instead because they’re just like you.

They could:

Encourage and support you throughout your business journey, unlike the friends and family that don’t really “get” or care about what you want to do and constantly try to bring you down.
Nerd out on personal development stuff with you for hours and talk about things like the latest book you’ve read or the online business course you’re going through.
Make you feel less lonely when you’re working from home, and you have no-one to talk to about your business, because you could jump on a Skype call with them at any time.

Wouldn’t it feel great to be surrounded by successful people with the same interests and ambitions as you? Having mentors that would guide you in your business journey, having partners that you could work on your business together with, and having friends that you could talk about business and personal development with for hours?

But what if you don’t know any of those people yet?

If you read a lot of books, you’ve probably heard the phrase “you are the average of 5 people you spend the most time with” hundreds of times.

And you’ve seen that all of the really successful people have mentors and friends like them:

But what if you’re not as successful as them yet? How do you find more people like you to help you with your business journey when you’re still in the earlier stages of building a business and it’s hard for you to get noticed by the people way ahead of you?

What if you live in a country like Norway where nobody really talks about building an online business and everyone just seems to be working in 9-5 jobs and living regular lives?

And what if you don’t know where to even get started with finding more people like you, and how to connect with them to turn them into mentors or friends?

Tell me if this sounds familiar…

Your can’t talk to your friends and family about your business.

Right now, the 5 people you spend the most of your time with are either your family or your friends.

But you can’t really talk to them about your business.

When you try to bring up your business ideas to them, they don’t really want to talk to you about them. Sometimes they might even pretend to be interested in them to make you feel better, but you can see that they’d rather talk about something else like yesterday’s basketball match or politics.

It’s not that they’re bad people, it’s just that they don’t have the same ambitions and interests as you. They are ok with just working a regular 9-5 job. They don’t have big dreams or ideas, and they don’t want to make an impact in the world like you do.

You wish that they understood what you are talking about. You wish they saw the world the same way as you do, and really encouraged you and supported you in your goals.

But because they don’t, you feel like you need to find other people to talk about your business with.

You’ve tried finding more people like you, but it wasn’t really that easy to find them.

Maybe you’ve tried finding some local entrepreneurial meet ups or conferences to find more people like you. Or you’ve tried joining a few online forums or communities where you hoped to find people with the same interests..

But especially if you don’t live in a major city, it was hard for you to find places where more people like you hang out. There weren’t any major meet up groups or conferences nearby. Maybe there’s no-one even talking about online business in your country, because everyone either works in a 9-5 job or runs a tech start up, which is not what you want to do.

And it was hard to find the RIGHT people.

Even if you did find people who seemed to be interested in running an online business, a lot of them were “wantrepeneurs” who just liked talking about business but haven’t actually done anything to start their own one.

Or they wanted to create this new gadget that would make them millions of dollars, when you wanted to grow your coaching business.

Or, in the worst case, you ran into people who were there just to pitch you their services and hand you their business cards in case you “needed them”.

It was hard for you to find people that could turn into lifelong mentors or friends, and you felt like you didn’t really belong there.

Even when you tried finding people like you online, you felt like an outsider.

You might have joined an online community that came with an online course that you joined, a mastermind group or a forum with the intention to connect with more people like you.

You were excited to finally talk to people who you knew were interested in growing the same type of a business as you were, and get help with the things you were struggling with in your business.

But when you joined a community, you felt like you were late to the party.

It seemed like everyone already knew each other because they were already in the group for months or years. You felt like an outsider and it was hard for you to just go in there and start commenting on the threads when everyone was already helping each other.

Why would anyone listen to the new guy who nobody knows about?

When you finally mustered up the courage to make your first post in the community, and expected to get great answers like all the other people seemed to get, things didn’t go the way you wanted them to.

You got no or very few responses, and it almost felt like nobody seemed to care about what you had to say because they didn’t know you yet.

It felt like they were just busy working on their own businesses and talking to people they already knew. It felt like you weren’t a part of the group and like you just didn’t fit in.

It felt horrible to spend thousands of dollars on a program only to feel like you’re not welcome in it.

So you looked at the computer screen, and wondered – “What am I doing wrong? What can I do to get those amazing responses to my questions, to get encouraged by the other members, and to become a part of the community?”

You wanted to connect with people you admire, but didn’t know how to add value to them.

When you saw a blog post or a Facebook post from someone that really resonated with you, you thought about reaching out to them to talk to them more about it.

But you never ended up doing it because you didn’t think that they would actually read your email.

Maybe you weren’t even sure how to reach out to them and add value to them. If they were way ahead of you in their businesses, why would they talk to you? What can you tell them that they don’t know yet?

And maybe you even mustered up the courage to reach out, did some research, and spent hours crafting the email in the hopes of getting a response from someone who you admire…

And they never responded to your email.

What’s the point of spending all that time on connecting with someone when they don’t even get back to you? Are they just too busy? Do they just not want to talk to you?

Why are other people able to connect with other business owners and you aren’t?

What are you doing wrong?

You see all of these other people that you follow being invited to private events and conferences. You see them grabbing coffee with the experts that they admire. You see them being a part of secret mastermind groups in the online communities you are a part of.

They all help each other get the opportunities that grow their businesses. They all want each other to succeed. And they all seem to have so much fun while doing it.

You’re constantly asking yourself how you can get there too. You’re putting in the work to get there, but you just can’t find the right people to connect with and become friends with them.

I understand how you feel, because I was in your situation just a few years ago.

Hi, my name is Primoz Bozic, and I’m the founder of Skyrocket Your Productivity.

You might have seen me as a case study for one or Ramit Sethi’s or Selena Soo’s online business courses. You might have met me at Selena’s Get Known, Get Clients Live Event.

Or maybe you have seen my story on Business Insider, Entrepreneur.com or in a Slovenian newsletter.

No matter how you found me, I’m glad you’re here.

And I want to tell you that while I’m now surrounded by a lot of amazing people, I didn’t start out that way.

I didn’t always have the relationships with the top experts in my field. I wasn’t invited to speak at conferences. Nobody knew about my business, let alone wrote about it in the media.

When I started my online business, I didn’t know anyone.

I had zero business connections. My dad is an archaeologist, my mother works at a large food corporation, and my sister is a microbiologist.

I didn’t really know anyone that would run their own business, especially not at my age (most people I knew were either college students or working at 9-5 jobs).

When I started my first business, I was a little bit over 20 years old, and I spent most of my time with my girlfriend, my breakdancing friends and my family.

All that my parents wanted for me was to get my university degree.

My dad has a PhD, and my mom believed that “you need a degree to be secure in life”. They wanted me to finish my university exams and have a Computer Science degree.

Whenever I would bring up something like starting a business, they would say “yes, you can do that… But you should finish the university first”. There was no conversation with them about it.

That’s why I didn’t tell my parents about my business for months as I worked on my first business idea. It would only discourage me to hear more about how I should focus on my studies.

I actually rented a small office close to the university with the money I’ve made from my last programming job, and I spent every minute I could away from the lectures to secretly build my business.

It wasn’t until I was making enough money to fully support myself with my business that I told my parents about quitting university full time. My dad didn’t say much, and my mom cried a lot (and tried to convince me multiple times later to “just get the degree for her”.

I couldn’t really talk to my parents about my business, and we still don’t discuss it much, as it feels like we just don’t see the world in the same way.

I couldn’t talk to my friends about my business either.

My friends at the time consisted mostly of people that I practiced breakdance with. I could talk to them about breakdance or last night’s soccer match, but I couldn’t really talk to them about my business.

Talking to them about money felt weird as I was making a lot more with my freelancing business, and I didn’t want them to feel bad about it.

I couldn’t share my successes with them for the same reason.

It was weird to say “hey, today I just closed a $2,000 coaching client!” when the average salary in Slovenia is around $1,000/month. Sometimes I would buy them a round of drinks at the bar or pay for lunch, but that’s about it.

It was also hard for me to talk to them about my business challenges.

If I struggled with closing a client or wanted to raise my rates, I didn’t really know how to bring that conversation up without making it about money, and they wouldn’t be able to give me quality feedback because they had no idea how a freelance business worked.

The only time when I really brought up business was when they complained about their jobs. And as I did that, it usually turned into me trying to convince them to start their own businesses, which never ended well. In the end they just got sick of me and changed the subject.

While I still loved hanging out with my friends, I knew that if I wanted to take my business to the next level, I needed to find people that I could talk to about it. All of the people I looked up to had their own business mentors and friends that helped them out with it, and I wanted to find those people as well.

I wanted to find people who would have the same interests as me and support and encourage me in my journey.

I wanted to find people who were also running their coaching businesses so I could talk to them about finding more clients or raising my rates.
I wanted to find mentors that I could talk to for 15 minutes and get their ideas on how I can expand my business.
I wanted to find friends that would be interested in personal development and that I could talk to about the books and blog posts I’ve read.

I went on a quest to find those people that I could talk to about my business. I knew there were people like me out there, and I decided to do whatever it takes to find them.

I tried looking for people like me in my city, but I couldn’t find anyone I could relate to.

I attended to a few entrepreneur meet ups at a start up house in Slovenia.

I hoped to run into other young and ambitious people like me there, and I did. The problem was that while the people there were indeed interested in entrepreneurship, they were interested in building a different type of a business than I was.

They dreamed of running tech start up, getting millions of dollars in investments and becoming the next Steve Jobs. A lot of them had a lot of “great ideas”, but not many of them actually seemed to be doing anything about them.

When I tried to talk to them about my business, they weren’t particularly interested. They would say “oh, you’re a freelancer? Yeah, that’s cool…”, and I couldn’t really have an in-depth conversation with them.

They just didn’t care about building “such a small business”. They wanted to talk about cool inventions that would “change the world” instead.

I even decided to have a public speech to attract more people like me.

One day, I was invited to deliver a speech at another start up house about entrepreneurship.

I was hoping that this would finally bring me closer to more people like me, that I could help me with my business.

I spent weeks preparing the speech, and thought that it would be a great success. I was wrong. While the speech was pretty good in my mind, the audience just wasn’t the right one.

Nobody came to me after the speech to talk to me about it.

Later I saw from the photos that a few people were even browsing on their phones rather than listening to me. It crushed me that I put in all of this work only to see that nobody really cared about it.

I still felt like there must be people like me, but I was giving up on the idea that I can really find people who want the exact same things as I did in Slovenia.

Instead of trying to bang my head against the wall, I decided to change my approach look for more people like me online.

I tried to get mentored by the top experts in my niche.

There were a few people like Ramit Sethi that I followed online, and I thought they might be able to help me out with my business. They must have faced the same challenges I was facing in the past, and they could probably solve my problems in minutes.

It felt a bit like a long shot, but I’ve found my courage and decided to email them, asking for help.

I still remember sending them these long emails where I told them how they’ve helped me, then shared my life story with them, and then asked them multiple questions.

Guess what happened?

No response.

I was discouraged when that happened. I felt like I put so much effort into the emails and didn’t even get a response from the people that I really admired.

For the next few months, I continued to run my business on my own, without really talking to anyone about it. I continued to take online courses and read books to try and overcome my business challenges.

It kind of worked, but it also felt like it was taking me forever to continue growing my business. In the back of my mind, I kept thinking about how awesome it would be to find a mentor or to have people like me to talk to about my business. I just had no idea where else to look for them.

One day, I learned about an online community full of ambitious freelancers like me.

Through a random email from Ramit Sethi’s newsletter, I found out about an online community that I could get access to.

It was called “Ramit’s Brain Trust”, and was supposed to be full of other ambitious people like me – freelancers, consultants, and people who were working at some of the top companies in the world.

When I joined the community, I was excited. I saw that there were a lot of posts in the community and that everyone seemed to be helping each other.

I was eager to dive into it and get help on my business. I still remember making my first in the community:

Unfortunately my post didn’t take off like many others did. I got ONE response to the post, and that post was instructing me to “improve my question” by looking at the community guidelines.

I said to myself “ok, I can do this”, and checked out the guidelines. It was this long document with links to 10 different posts on Facebook. I said I would go through it all and improve my question.

Except I didn’t. I felt overwhelmed by all of the different threads I could read, and in the end I ended up doing nothing.

Instead of being active in the community and making new friends, I was watching other people help each other, but I had no idea what to do to get them to notice me. In a weird way, it almost felt like I didn’t belong there, even though other people seemed to have the same ambitions as I did.

I’ve finally found a group of people like me. And yet I felt like an outsider in it.

Because of that, I didn’t really make an active effort in connecting with others in the community. I spent a few months watching from the sidelines, and then one day, I felt like this just wasn’t the best use of my money.

I messaged the support, asking them how I could cancel my subscription to the community. They got back to me quickly and said that they’d be happy to cancel my membership — I just had to send them an email back with the confirmation.

I wrote up the email, and waited to press send.

But I just couldn’t press that button. I was staring at my screen, and something just didn’t feel right. Since I started my business, I knew what going all in felt like. This wasn’t it. I didn’t feel like I gave the program my all. It felt more like trying something and then running away after an obstacle came up.

That just wasn’t the person who I wanted to be. I would either give something 110%, or not do it at all. I wasn’t going to forgive myself if I canceled my membership and missed out on some great opportunities because of it.

I never replied to that email. Instead, I decided to stay subscribed for one more month, and really give it my all.

I worked so hard to find people that were exactly like me, and I wasn’t going to give up and run away from them.

So I went on a mission to figure out exactly how to connect with the people like me and turn them into friends, mentors and business partners.

This was in 2013.

Today, I feel like I’ve finally surrounded myself with people like me.

Just a few years ago, I didn’t have anyone to talk about my business with. It took me months to work through business challenges I was facing on my own. I felt lonely and even though I was making a decent amount of money, I didn’t have anyone to celebrate my successes with.

Today, I’m grateful to be surrounded by likeminded business mentors, partners and friends that support me, encourage me, and want me to succeed.

Even though I’m still relatively young and I live in Slovenia, I can talk to all of these amazing people from all over the world, many of whom are the best at what they do. It’s a true privilege to be surrounded by them.

This is how my life has changed since I met all of these amazing people:

Business is a lot easier now that I’m no longer doing it on my own.

In the past, things like getting featured in the media, getting guest post opportunities or being invited to a podcast seemed so hard. I would need to send out a cold email to someone I didn’t know and compete with hundreds of other people who emailed them each day.

I would often spend hours and hours drafting an email only to not get a response. I felt like I was working hard, but I just wasn’t getting the results I wanted to.

Now that I know a few friends who know that I create great content, getting accepted for a guest post or a podcast is a lot easier. Because they’re friends with many other bloggers and podcasters and they know that their friends will love my content, they can introduce me to them directly and save me all the time I would spend trying to connect with them on my own.

The reason I got featured on Business Insider (which brought me hundreds of new email subscribers) was that a friend of mine thought my story would be a good fit for the editor of Business Insider, who was his friend.

The message that he sent me was along the lines of:

“Hey, I think your story about how you built your business would be a great fit to be featured on Business Insider and I can introduce you to an editor… Are you up for it?”

Of course I said yes, as I’ve been dreaming of being published on a large publication for years. It would finally give me something to show my parents and prove to them that “my business is real”.

Then, the editor emailed me, we did an interview together, and a few weeks later my story was published, went viral and got me thousands of website visitors and hundreds of email subscribers.

All because of a relationship that I’ve built over time.

Nowadays, if I want to write for Huffington Post or get introduced to a top blogger in my niche, I don’t need to spend months building relationships. I can simply ask one of my existing friends for an introduction to the right person and get in touch with the decision maker.

It’s no longer this long, stressful process.

My new friends always help me out when I get stuck in my business.

When I started out and didn’t know anyone who could help me with my business, I had to figure out how to overcome the obstacles I ran into on my own.

I had to read books, blog posts, join online courses, or make a ton of mistakes by guessing what’s the right thing to do.

Now things are a lot easier. Because I know so many different people who are amazing at what they do, I can get help with what I’m struggling with just by sending them an email or jumping on a call with them.

For example, as I was outlining this page, I got really stuck. Something was missing, and I couldn’t figure out what. I sent a quick message to a friend of mine who’s an expert copywriter, and the same day we jumped on a 15-minute call.

Not only did he help me answer my question, but also identified a few other mistakes I was making, that I never would have identified on my own.

It doesn’t matter if I need help with my copywriting, with a limiting belief I’m dealing with, or a complicated pricing question. I probably know someone who has had the same challenge as I’m having right now and managed to solve it (and of course I always help them out when they reach to me for help).

I can talk to some of the best people in the world about what they do.

When I attended one of my first conferences, Behaviorcon, I heard stories of these private events that were going on, where all of the speakers hung out together with a few select conference attendees. A pre-conference dinner at an influencer’s house. An afterparty at a nearby club.

Those events sounded super cool, and it was fun to fantasize about what being at one of those events would do for my business. I just had no idea how to get invited to them.

Now I have the privilege of attending events like that.

Every time I visit a major city in US, there’s something going on. Whether it’s a rooftop party in a mansion of the Hollywood Hills in LA, a private dinner with some incredible business owners in Washington DC, or a dinner with some of the top experts in my niche in NYC that turns into rounds of tequila shots at 3am in NYC, these events are usually EPIC.

Last time I was in NYC, I attended a private mastermind that my friend Selena Soo organized:

It was a full-day event that included a mastermind event at her apartment with some of her best students where we talked about how to grow our businesses, as well as a private dinner with some of her media friends and mentors.

While the whole event was absolutely amazing, the highlight for me was having a 1-hour 1on1 conversation with one of Selena’s mentors over dinner.

He is one of the top sports psychologists out there (he works with the top tennis and football players in the world) and we had a conversation about the mental toughness of the top athletes in the world, and how that translates to business.

We went over specific mindsets that the top athletes apply, the exact tactics they use to prepare for their important matches, and even things that I could do to handle high pressure business situations better.

For me, this conversation was a dream come true. I always loved watching the best athletes in the world perform and wondered how they did it. To be able to speak with someone who works with them directly about the behind the scenes of it was just incredible.

I’ve built relationships with my business idols that I’ve followed for years

I mentioned earlier that in the earlier stages of my business I tried to reach out to some of the experts that I followed and admired, only to never get a response from them.

In the past few years I’ve had the privilege of meeting many of my idols in person, and since then I’ve built lasting relationships with a number of them as well.

During my last trip to NYC, I got this message from one of the top experts in my field:

We ended up going out for coffee where he told me about some of his recent projects, some big business insights that he had, and even talked to me about my own business.

It felt amazing to be able to just hang out with someone who I admired for so long and to be someone who he actually wanted to spend his time with.

I can speak at conferences where the audience LOVES what I have to say

It was always a dream of mine to be able to speak at a large conference in front of hundreds of people that would listen to me and love what I have to say.

But for a long time, that just felt like a dream – something that would maybe happen someday once I’m really successful, and surely not something that would happen any time soon.

And as I’ve mentioned before, my first public speech felt like a disaster because nobody seemed to care about it, and some attendees even spent most of the time on their phones rather than listening to me.

Well, this year I spoke at Selena’s “Get Known, Get Clients Live Event”:

And to be completely honest, it was even better than I thought it would be.

Not only were the private events that Selena organized outside of the conference amazing, the actual conference was also out of the world.

After my speech, I thought that maybe a few people would come to me and talk to me about it.

I was shocked when after the speech ended, I couldn’t even get to the bathroom without someone stopping me.

Throughout the day over 50 people stopped me, thanked me for the speech and even shared specific things that they loved about it.

Getting such a response from the audience was amazing as I felt like I was making a difference in their lives with what they’ve learned that day.

Because I have friends from all over the world, I can hang out with them whenever I travel for business.

I remember when I went to New York for the first time for a conference. I didn’t know anyone in the city, I stayed at a fishy couchsurfing place in China Town, and when I wasn’t at the conference I felt lonely and wasn’t sure what to do with myself, so I just spent most of the time at my computer.

Now every time I travel I know that I can either stay at one of my friend’s homes (which allows us to catch up or get some work done together), or I can even rent an AirBnB or a hotel room with other friends that are traveling to the same event.

And it’s WAY more fun to spend the whole week hanging out with people like you and talking about the things that you care about rather than being in front of your computer in your hotel room all the time.

For example, last time I was in NYC I rented an AirBnB with my co-speakers at the conference, Joana and Navid:

Instead of staying in separate hotels, we thought it would be much more fun to spend a week living in an apartment together.

It was indeed tons of fun. We got to catch up on all that’s happened in our lives, we talked about our current projects and we even got some work done together. And after we were done working, we went for a few dinners with some of our other friends, which allowed us to build new business relationships.

Whenever I visit a new city, I don’t feel like an outsider any more. I usually already know a few people there who I’ve met online, and instead of feeling lost I feel welcomed by friends who I’ve known for years.

With my business friends, I can be myself and do fun things that I can’t do with my regular friends.

When I’m hanging out with my friends here in Slovenia, it still feels a bit weird to talk about money or doing things like staying at 5-star hotels, flying to the US in business class or going to Maldives for a vacation that I love doing.

I also can’t do crazy things like going skydiving with them as they can’t afford to spend $300 on that.

That’s why I love that I have friends who run their own businesses and are excited to experience life to the fullest.

Last time I was in LA, I went on an hour-long helicopter tour of LA and it was awesome:

It just feels great when you can really be yourself. When you don’t have to restrain yourself from having fun or avoid talking about business stuff.

In fact, most of the time when I’m with my business friends, we geek out on business stuff for hours. Whether it’s comparing our product launch notes, brainstorming new potential partnership or sharing future business opportunities with each other, there’s always something fun to talk about.

So at the end of the day, having likeminded partners and friends makes business and life easier, less stressful, and a ton more fun.

So how did I go from not knowing anyone to being surrounded by business mentors, partners and friends?

In truth, it didn’t happen overnight.

It took me YEARS and a ton of mistakes to build all of these relationships, because there was no one place where I could learn it all at once.

I read many books on the topic. I studied others how they do it. I even talked to many of my friends, mentors and business partners about how they do it.

And slowly but surely, I’ve created more and more lasting relationships with friends, mentors and partners all over the world. Some of them have started years ago, and others I’ve just started recently.

As I did that, I discovered that there were 8 key skill-sets that you need to develop in order to build lasting business relationships:

Knowing WHO to connect with at different stages of your business
Finding the RIGHT people to connect with
Turning strangers that you meet at events into lifelong friends
Connecting with people like you online
Adding value to people you want to connect with
Staying in touch with the people you’ve built a relationship with
Turning your relationships into business opportunities
Growing your network (once you know the first 5-10 people like you)

Each of these skill-sets is equally important in building lasting business relationships. That means if you’re only a master of one of these skills, it doesn’t mean that you’ll be surrounded by a lot of likeminded people.

For example, If you’re not sure where to find people like you, it’ll be tough to connect with them. If you do know how to find them but don’t know how to add value to them, you won’t be able to build a relationship with them. And if you don’t know how to stay in touch with them, you’ll end up meeting a lot of people that you never end up talking to again.

On the other hand, if you do learn and master the majority of these key skills, you’ll be able to connect with almost anyone from anywhere in the world.

I’d love to teach you how to master these skill-sets and create your own circle of business mentors, advisers and friends.

I know how much it sucked to live in Slovenia and not know anyone to talk about my business. I know how painful it was to see all of those other people that I followed hanging out with their mentors, being featured in the media and rapidly growing their businesses.

And I know how frustrated I was when I didn’t know how to do the same. I knew that with all of the work I was putting into growing my business, being surrounded by people like me would add gasoline to the fire and bring my business to a whole new level.

And now that I do know how to build lasting business relationships, I want to share it all with you. I want to help you avoid all of the mistakes that I’ve made along the way.

And I want to help you short-cut the time to figure it all out and help you along the way.

It doesn’t have to take you YEARS to build lasting relationships with people like you.

I’ll teach you how to do it in a matter of WEEKS instead.

Introducing…

THE INSIDER’S CLUB

Here’s what you’ll get with your Insider’s Club Membership:

8 weekly 60-minute live training sessions where I’ll show you behind the scenes of how I went from not knowing anyone to having a network of likeminded business mentors, partners and friends (and how you can do it too).
8 Weekly Q & A sessions where I will answer ALL of your questions about the topics that we’ve covered in the past calls, and even look over your personal connection strategies and emails to help you improve them.
The proven scripts, strategies & systems that you can use to start connecting with other business owners TODAY, without having to figure them out on your own.

Plus: Access to the exclusive Insider’s Club Private Community, where you’ll be able to connect with other Insider’s Club students, and ask me any follow up questions for the duration of the live training.

How will the Insider’s Club work?

The weekly live training sessions will take place every Sunday at noon Eastern time (4p.m. GMT).

With each session, we’ll first cover a key lesson in connecting with more people like you, together with the exact scripts, examples and action steps that you can use to take what you’ve learned and start implementing the conceps in your life immediately. Each session will last for roughly 60 minutes.

Each of these sessions will be recorded, and the recording will be uploaded to the Insider’s Club Membership Area in the subsequent days. So even if you can’t attend the sessions live, you’ll be able to watch the recording of the lesson at your convenience (and if you do make it live, you’ll be able to review the lessons afterwards).

Each lesson will be followed by a Q & A session.

During these sessions, you can ask me any question you want (about the current or the previous lessons). We can also use this time to talk about your strategies to build business relationships, brainstorm ways for you to add value to the people you admire or even look over the emails that you’ve written to connect with more people like you (and give you feedback on them).

These Q & A sessions will last roughly 30 minutes, although we might go longer to make sure all of your questions get answered (plus, you can always ask additional questions through the Insider’s Club Private Community afterwards).

If you can’t make the Q & A sessions live, you’ll still be able to submit your questions for each session in advance and watch the recordings afterwards.

And if you would prefer to get the questions answered in private, you’ll be able to message me through the Insider’s Club Private Community.

In other words, if you need help with putting the lessons into action, I WILL find a way to help you out.

You will also be able to get access to the the Insider’s Club Private Community.

Along with the program, we’ll use a chat based community which is perfect for communicating between small groups.

Within the community, you’ll be able to connect with other students who are going through the live training, help each other out with the challenges that you’re facing, and even ask me any follow up questions about the weekly lessons.

You’ll also be able to encourage each other and celebrate each other’s wins, and who knows, you might even find a few people you’re looking to connect with within the community and get a head start on knowing more people like you.

Even after the 8 weeks of live training, you will retain access to the lesson recordings, scripts, Q & A sessions and the private community.

With your membership, you will get LIFETIME ACCESS to the whole training, so if life comes in-between, you can pick up the lessons right where you left off and continue to build your own circle of like-minded business mentors, partners and friends.

Is Insider’s Club Right for me?

I want to make sure that The Insider’s Club is the right course for your business right now, and that you get the results that you’re looking for with it.

Below are my recommendations for who should join the course and who shouldn’t, so take a look to see if it’s right for you!

The Insider’s Club IS right for you if…

You have a conference coming up in the future months that you’d like to make the most of. If you’re attending a meet up or a conference in the near future, The Insider’s Club will help you make sure that you come home from the conference with new business mentors, partners and friends that will help you bring new business opportunities (and make the money you’ll spend on travel well worth it).
You want to learn how to connect with the top experts in your niche.In The Insider’s Club, I’ll show you the exact emails and strategies that I used to connect with the top experts in my niche, and help you with every step of the process. From making the first connection, getting them to respond to your emails, adding value to them, to finally turning them into lifelong mentors.
You want to connect with the top students in online communities you are a part of. If you’re a part of one or more online communities and you’re feeling like an outsider in them, I’ll show you how to go from not knowing anyone in the community to being one of the key players in it who get ALL the best opportunities (guest posts, podcasts, etc.) and help each other grow and promote their businesses.
You’d like to surround yourself with people who support and encourage you in your business. In The Insider’s Club, I’ll show you how to connect with people like you from anywhere in the world. Even if you have no business connections. Even if you live in Norway or a small town in Ohio, Even if you’re just 20-25 years old. And even if you’re an introvert.

The Insider’s Club is NOT right for you if…

You are looking to build your business relationships over-night. Building strong business relationships takes time and patience, and if you have a conference coming up tomorrow, you won’t be able to make the most out of it. However, if you are willing to take the time to build a lifetime of strong business relationships, you’re welcome to join us in the program.
You don’t have a profitable business idea yet (or you haven’t taken any action on it yet). If this is the case, it will be more valuable for you to invest some time and money into finding your profitable business idea, joining a course on building a business or hiring a business coach. I recommend that you come back to this course once you’ve found your profitable business idea.

Frequently Asked Questions

“What if I don’t join The Insider’s Club? Can I find likeminded business partners, mentors and friends on my own?”

You can try reading tens of books on networking and building business relationships, going through a lot of trial and figuring it all out like I did. It’s absolutely doable.

However, it WILL take you years to figure it all out on your own. If that’s the timeline you are looking for, then go for it. But if you’re looking to speed the process up considerably and if you would rather be meeting new people that are exactly like you, rather than be at home and read one book after the other, I invite you to try out the Insider’s Club.

With Insider’s Club, I’ll show you exactly what works in building business relationships (and what you should NOT do). I’ll also share with you the proven scripts I’ve used to find business mentors, partners and friends, and you’ll also be able to get help from me and the other Insider’s Club students in putting the lessons into action.

This doesn’t have to be another thing that you do on your own.

“What if I can’t make the weekly live training sessions?”

I’ll be hosting the weekly live training sessions on Sundays to make it easy for you to attend them, even if you have a full time job or if you’re working on your business during the week.

However, if you live in a timezone like Australia and the calls are late at night for you (or if you’d prefer to spend your weekends with your family), you can still take the advantage of the full course.

You’ll be able to watch the recordings of the weekly lessons later at your own convenience, you’ll be able to submit your questions about the lessons for the Q & A sessions in advance, and you’ll be able to chat with me and the other Insider’s Club students in the Insider’s Club Private Community at a time that is more convenient to you.

“What if I can’t travel for business right now and there’s no-one like me in my city? Will Insider’s Club still work for me?”

I’d be the first person to know how you feel, since I spend most of the time each year in Slovenia, where there’s very few people that I can talk to about my business.

Because of that, I’ve found many ways in which I’ve connected (and stayed in touch) with people like me online, which we’ll cover in great detail in the weekly lessons. We’ll cover how you can connect with the top experts in your niche via email, how you can find partners and friends through free and paid online communities, and more.

So yes, you will absolutely be able to find business mentors, partners and friends even if you can’t travel to a conference or a meet up to meet them.

And on top of that, when you DO decide do make an investment into yourself and travel to a conference or a meet up, you’ll know how to get the most of it and easily make back the money you will spend on the travel costs.

“How much of my time will Insider’s Club take?”

You can expect the course to take around 3-5 hours of your time per week (sometimes less). This includes watching the weekly lessons and Q & A sessions (90min/week) and leaves roughly 1-3 hours for implementing the advice in your own life, as well as asking follow up questions about the concepts that we cover.

I know you’re already busy with your business, live (and maybe a full time job), and the last thing I want you to do is spend 10+ hours per week going through the course materials (that you don’t have).

That’s why I made sure that the course is super easy to implement – everything is broken down into very small, actionable steps that you can follow to get instant results, and still have plenty of time to work on your business.

“What if I don’t follow through with the Insider’s Club?”

You’ve probably bought online courses in the past and spent thousands of dollars on them only to never follow through with them.

Because I don’t want this to be another course that sits on your mind as something you purchased but never went though, I designed the course in a way that it’s super easy for you to follow – into small steps that you can take one at a time.

I also made sure that you get all the support and accountability that you need – with the course, you are getting access to the weekly Q & A sessions where we can cover all of the challenges you might be running into with implementing the lessons in your life.

I’ll also be available in the Insider’s Club Private Community for the duration of the live training where you’ll ba able to get the answers to your toughest questions. Within the Insider’s Club Private Community, you’ll also have access to the intimate group of other students who will be going through the training, that will give you all the encouragement and support that you need to follow through.

Last but not least, remember that you have LIFETIME ACCESS to the program. This means that even if there’s an emergency in your life and you fall off track, you can simply pick up where you started and continue with the course – no harm done.

“Will the course help me even if I am an introvert / just 20-25 years old?”

Being an introvert myself, I know that there are some parts of connecting with people that are more difficult for us, like approaching strangers and speaking in group conversations.

We’ll cover how to overcome those challenges in the course, and also how to use your strengths to build even stronger business relationships.

I also started building my business relationships when I was a bit over 20 years old, when all of the people around me were still going to university or looking for 9-5 jobs (and no-one wanted to talk to me about running an online business).

What I’ve found is that the people I ended up surrounding myself with were mostly older than me, and that the age wasn’t really an issue when we all had the same interests. In fact, in some cases being younger can even be an advantage as the top experts in your niche love mentoring young, ambitious entrepreneurs who are willing to take action (as they see themselves in them).

So yes, The Insider’s Club will absolutely help you find and connect with people like you, even if you are younger than most business owners or an introvert.

“What if I don’t yet have a successful business? Will the course still work for me?”

If you are already making money with your business, building new business relationships will pay off a lot faster than if you aren’t. At that stage, every business opportunity that you get from connecting with people like you (a guest post, a podcast, a referral to a new coaching client, a conversation with a mentor…) will turn into revenue. Even if you get just 1-2 new business opportunities because of the new connections you make, the course will pay for itself.

If you’ve found your business idea and already got some traction with it (you have a website with some traffic or some email subscribers, or you’ve found some potential clients for your coaching or freelancing business), connecting with people like you can help you get more traction with your business and make it profitable faster. At this stage, I would still recommend you to join the course, as it will make your business a lot easier and set you up for success in the future.

If you haven’t found your business idea yet, then finding likeminded people might not be the biggest win for your business right now. Does finding people like you make it easier to find a business idea? It can, but in general successful people like to connect with other people who are already actively working on an idea. At this stage, connecting with likeminded business owners also likely won’t make a big difference on your business revenue, so I wouldn’t recommend joining The Insider’s Club at this time.

“What if I’m not interested in starting an online business? Can I still join the course?”

The Insider’s Clubs aren’t just limited to online business. They exist everywhere (in sports, corporations, in the job market), and in general you can break into them by following the same principles.

However, I personally have the most experience and examples from the business world, which is why this course will be focused on that. I do have a few friends who I’m planning on bringing into the course as guest speakers that will talk on the topics of using the principles within the company or to find a new job, but that will likely happen after the 8 weeks of live training finish.

If you aren’t interested in starting an online business but REALLY want to learn how to build genuine relationships with people like you, you’re welcome to join us — but be prepared to put in the extra work to learn from the business examples and make them work for you.

“How can I afford The Insider’s Club?”

Building new business relationships is one of the best ways to invest money in yourself and further grow your business. It’s why I fly to US multiple times a year – just to meet new and connect with old business mentors, partners and friends. I know that being in that environment will give me new ideas for my business and allow me to grow it faster.

As I mentioned before, even just getting one new coaching client, landing a guest post, or having a 30-minute conversation with a mentor that you would find through the lessons in the course can easily bring your investment back if you’re already making money with your business.

In fact, think about how many opportunities you MISSED in the past because you didn’t know how to connect with likeminded people. Maybe you ran into a speaker at a conference and wasn’t able to make a great first impression on them. Maybe you went to a meet up where you met people like you, but you never ended up talking to them again (and you know they could have helped you with your business).

Each of these missed opportunities could have cost you hundreds or even thousands of dollars. You’ll never know how things would turn out if only you knew how to build lasting business relationships.

So you know how valuable business relationships are to you and you know that investing in them will pay off. But to make it easier for you to manage your business cash flow, I also offer a 3-month payment option for The Insider’s Club, so you can absolutely take advantage of that to spread out the payments.

Now if you aren’t anywhere near making money with your business and you can’t afford to join it, that’s fine. I would actually recommend spending money on an online business coach or an online business course instead, and coming back to join this course once you’ve seen some traction with your business and you can justify the investment.

“When will The Insider’s Club open again?”

The Insider’s Club is open only this week. As this is a live training, I’ll be focusing all of my attention on helping the students that join the course now, and I’m not planning on opening it up again any time soon.

Also, next time I’m opening the course it likely won’t be done in a live setting, so you won’t be able to get all of the personalized help from me that you can get (through the weekly Q & A sessions and the Insider’s Club Private Community) at this time.

You can try out Insider’s Club (risk-free) for 60 days.

I really believe that Insider’s Club can help YOU find like-minded business mentors, partners and friends. That’s why I invite you to try out the whole live training for 60 days (enough time to go through all the lessons) without any risk. I’m convinced that the systems and principles taught in this course will work for you, and if they don’t, I’ll give you 100% of your money back.

If you go through the whole course, complete all of the action steps from the course and you’re not satisfied with the training after 60 days, you can send me the proof that you completed all of the action steps and I will refund you 100% of the price.

What would it mean to you to be surrounded by likeminded business MENTORS, PARTNERS and FRIENDS?

Every day that I wake up in the morning, I’m grateful for the life I have right now.

I’m grateful that I’m surrounded by business friends that I can talk to about my business every day.

It feels amazing when I can celebrate my latest product launch together with them, or talk about a blog post that I loved without feeling judged. I’m happy that I don’t feel so lonely any more because I know that all of my friends are just one phone call away, even if they live on the other side of the world. I’m glad that I can count on them when things get tough to pick me up and get me back to my old self.

I’m grateful that I have business partners that genuinely want me to succeed in my business and go out of my way to help me — and that I can do the same for them.

I no longer feel like I’m trying to make a name for myself on my own. I have partners who have my back and help me spread the word about my business and help a ton more people.

I’m grateful that I have built relationships with some of the top experts in the online business world and I can consider them my mentors.

I’m honored to be able to learn about their businesses and grab coffee with them when I’m in the city, where I can continuously learn what the best of the best do, and get ideas to make my business better as well.

And I’m the most grateful that I get to make an IMPACT in this world.

Many people talk about how they want to “make a difference”, but when I actually SEE how I help people who struggle with same things that I used to, and I can see how my advice helped them live a better life, that just means the world to me.

It’s why I do what I do.

But what would it mean to you?

I’ve already built my own business relationships even though I’m based in Slovenia (and few people know where that actually is).

Now I want to help you build yours.

I want to share the insights that I’ve learned and systems I have developed with you, so you can finally be surrounded by more people like you and make a bigger impact in the world.

I want to help you find people like you that you can talk to that won’t roll their eyes when you talk to them about money or business. I want to help you find people who will help you promote your content and products. I want to help you find people who will happily mentor you in your business journey.

What would it feel like if you could grab lunch with one of the experts in your niche that you’ve admired for years?

What would it feel like if you could talk about business stuff with your friends all they long, and they would never roll their eyes?

And what would it feel like when you would launch a new product or wrote a new blog post, and your business partners would go out of their way to spread the word about it so you can reach more people?

If it would make you feel absolutely freaking awesome and you’re ready to take the next step to get there…
