Iwas a uniformed police officer who aspired to be a detective with the Crime Unit . I asked one of the senior detectives how I could be like him .

This was his response . Get to know the " right " people . More importantly , become acquainted with the Center of Influence ( COIs ).

I ' m sure you ' ve heard it before : it ' s not about what you know , or even who you know ; it ' s about who knows you .
Attracting the right money partners is one of the most important resources you ' ll need in real estate to buy more properties and increase your cash flow . For over 16 years , as a successful investor , I ' ve been teaching the concept of raising money by getting COIs to fund your deals all over the world .
This method has completely changed my life and the lives of many of my students . It ' s a core message I ' ve delivered to massive crowds alongside Tony Robbins , Grant Cardone , Robert Kiyosaki , Robin Sharma , Brian Tracy , and many other trailblazers .
A COI is someone who has the results you are looking for : they are well connected , have the money to possibly fund your deals , and has other successful friends as well .
Your primary goal should be to locate your COI . Then , do whatever it takes to establish a strong relationship with them .
Some people ask me during my presentations , " I don ' t know any COIs , and why would COIs do business with me ? How do I locate them ? How do I get in touch with them ?”
My advice is simple . Go to where they are . Assume you have the opportunity to travel to the location where the COI is speaking . Attend the event as a VIP to spend time with them and even break bread with them . It ' s worth it to pay the extra money to be a part of the inner circle .
How did I meet people like Jack Canfield , Brian Tracy , Robert G . Allen , Kevin Harrington , and others ? I bought some of their products . You will want to purchase their products or services in order to gain access to them and their time . Some COIs provide small­group masterminds . This can be a goldmine for you , because you will have the opportunity to spend four to eight hours together learning , breaking bread , and networking .
You can , of course , hire them as your mentor . If you have the opportunity , you should take advantage of it . A personal mentor is a well­kept secret to unlocking your greatness . Beyond the norm , your mentor may be able to connect you with the right investors , other COIs , partners , clients , and more . Your goal is to spend so much time with your COI that they become your Mr . Miyagi from the film " The Karate Kid ."
When approaching your COI , make sure to ask them what they need first . Can you volunteer for them ? Can you work for them for free ? Can you help their charities ? Can you find them clients ?
" Get to know the ' right ' people . More importantly , become acquainted with the Centers of Influence ( COIs )."
Attracting money partners is easier than ever , because we live in a world where we have the ability to connect with anyone , anywhere .
Take advantage of every opportunity that comes your way ; attend every event , network at every chance — invest in yourself in the same way that you want
your COI to . Most importantly , decide right now that you will not give up on yourself until you have met your financial goal . I ' ve done it , and I ' ve personally assisted clients who went from zero to a million dollars or more . If we can do it , it means you can , too .
