A bestselling author taught me this:

“What in the fuck…” I thought to myself in semi-disbelief.

I used to be the kid who lived in a motorhome, and now I was in an office with a CEO of a well-known company, a marketing mogul, a #1 New York Times bestselling author, and my friend, Dan Go.

5 years ago, I was listening to that author on The Jordan Harbinger Show, and now I sat across from him at the long wooden table.

I was happy to be the youngest and dumbest person in the room.

Sounds crazy, but I owe it all to Twitter.

A week earlier, Dan Go moved to my hometown. We went for dinner and he invited me to help give a presentation on how to grow on Twitter to these high-level entrepreneurs.

And even though they were multi-millionaires, I had something they wanted:

Specific knowledge.

Now, for most of the 3 hours I was with them, I kept quiet soaked in as much as possible. But when I spoke, I must’ve seemed competent because that author gave me his number to talk later.

The call him and I had the following week changed how I saw my business forever.

He asked about my ghostwriting agency and the direction I was taking it.

I explained to him I was scaling back and focused on teaching others how to start their own ghostwriting agency.

But he said something that surprised me…

“Don’t scale back your agency.”

He told me I had an opportunity to leverage my skill set, but not for money. For the connections.

He explained he had high-level connections to A-list entrepreneurs + authors, and ghostwriting could be my in.

And that’s when it clicked…

The real value of my ghostwriting agency wasn’t the money (although that’s nice too), it was the network.

In the year I had been ghostwriting, I’ve gotten in the circle of 8-figure entrepreneurs, close friends of Andrew Tate, high-level influencers, and CEOs of well-known brands.

These relationships helped me learn a ton and opened doors I never knew I could in.

If this is where I got to now, where could I be in 3 years?

And what about you?

Imagine what doors will open up if you dedicate yourself to your craft. Obsess over getting your clients results and build a reputation for yourself.

What if you were to go-to person in your field?

Because when you attain specific knowledge, you have something multi-millionaires can’t go to anyone to get.

And that’s your in.

You get value by becoming valuable to valuable people.

Become obsessed with your craft, have empathy for your clients, deliver kickass results, and watch what happens.

The real value of your skill set isn’t the money you make, it’s which doors it opens.
