Hi, I'm Pam Talebski, Director of Digital Marketing for Smart Life.

Today's review by Herd313 titled First Time Listener.

As a first time listener, I thoroughly enjoyed the content. Wow!

I wrote down so much and can't wait to implement this into my life.

Welcome to Build Your Tribe. I'm Shaline Johnson, and my name is Brock Johnson.

And we know your time is valuable. So every Tuesday, we release an episode loaded with quick tips,

designed to get you in and get you out.

Alright, mom, this one's all you.

Today for this quick tip to say, I wanted to talk about something that I hope it doesn't come across as negative.

It's not. It's not meant to be.

But it is an opportunity for me to just impart some wisdom, especially for those of you who are just beginning to build your business.

And the lure of networking, networking with other individuals, partnerships, affiliates, sponsorships, you know, just even the friends that you're going to meet in this business,

whatever business that is for you, it can be very rewarding. It can really propel your business forward.

But you also have to be prepared for the fact that not everyone is as authentic or as genuine as maybe you are.

And the reason why this comes to mind is because, well, honestly, because it happens in our relationships a lot.

And Brett was bringing up a great point with me today. And I thought, you know, it's really true, but I'm not going to change my ways.

And here's what I'm talking about.

There are lots of people who I know they really genuinely enjoy networking and becoming friends and getting to know each other and sharing ideas, etc.

And there are people who I just really like them. I think they're great people. I believe in their products and their programs.

And so I talk about them. I promote them. You've heard me interview them on my podcast.

You've heard me promote their books or even send for them. And by send for them, that's like a term used when you promote someone else's stuff to your email list.

You're covered in email list. I've done that many times. Not because of a kickback. Like, you know, what would a kickback on a book be? Nothing.
