You've been networking wrong.
Most people think networking is about collecting business cards or spamming LinkedIn connections. They think it's about what they can get.
Here's the truth.
Networking is about proximity. And proximity is a cheat code.
In Episode #114 of Finding Peak, I sat down with Ken Joslin. Ken is a former pastor who built a seven-figure coaching business and an eight-figure mortgage business. He's the guy who texts Grant Cardone, John Maxwell, and Gary Brecka.
He didn't get there by accident. He got there by understanding the 14 Frequencies of Proximity.

The Power of Proximity
Ken's journey shifted when he realized he was only two things away from the next level: the right relationship and the right information.
He saw an ad for Grant Cardone. He didn't know who Grant was, but he bought a $1,000 mentorship program. That single decision put him in the room.
Within months, he closed a $3 million commercial real estate deal — making a $78,720 commission. How? Because he was in the room with Grant, who told him to get creative.
He collapsed years of trial and error into a few weeks.
The Authenticity Frequency
But how do you get in the room if you don't have the money?
You use the highest frequency emotion: authenticity.
Authenticity is a deep understanding of a subject coupled with a deep passion for it. Gary Brecka pulled the data — the frequency of authenticity is seven times higher than the frequency of love. It's the most sought-after frequency on earth.
When you are authentic, you attract the right people. You don't have to fake it. You have to be obsessed with your craft and genuinely want to help others.

Give Without Expectation
Great leaders want something for people, not from people.
Ken built his network by investing his time, talent, and treasure. He flew to them. He connected them with other high-level people.
He bought front-row tickets to their events — even when it cost him a thousand bucks for Eric Church seats he had to sell at a loss.
He gave, and gave, and gave.
And the right hook? It took care of itself.
The Ultimate Superpower: Stillness
Here's where it gets counterintuitive.
To move fast, you have to be still.
Entrepreneurs are addicted to busyness. We think busyness equals growth. It doesn't.
If the enemy can't make you bad, he'll make you busy.
— Craig Groeschel
Ken blocks out time every single day to be still. To listen. To write down the vision. Habakkuk 2:2 — "Write the vision down and make it plain that the herald who reads it can run with it."
Growth happens in stillness before it happens in action.
The Challenge
Stop medicating your stress with Netflix, food, or alcohol.
Get still. Write down your vision. Find the people who are already where you want to be.
Invest in them. Give to them. Get in their proximity.
That's the cheat code.
This is the way.
