Learn to accept it and move on or step away. 4. Be social media savvy. * Put social media into action. * Adapt or Die 5. Don’t burn any bridges * Cause someway along the way someone will figure it out * Cause young it old someone has the potential and can probably become your C.E.O one day 6.

Tom if I didn't find your channel, my struggle as a "wantrepreneur" would be lonelier than it already is. Thank you for being there and having so much share.

The 7 steps to master networking by Dr.Finesse. Inclusive of a little explanation and Tom's comment on the 7th one: 1.Leave the computer and hit the pavement. 2. Be a good salesperson. 3. Be bold but not pushy 4. Be social media savvy. 5.Don't burn any bridges. 6.Have personality.(Don't fake it,just open up yourself a little) 7. Be yourself(Be defenseless). 7.5 . Be loyal to a fault Don't sell your product every time you network,it pays to just get to know each other

Similar story, I've been networking and putting myself out there since I was 16, just building and building. Another story, 2 years ago when I was 20, I just finished college and moved to the big city, Manila. I straight up went to a TV station(main building) and dropped my resume, asked if there's an opening. Unfortunately, they didn't get back to me but I'm glad they didn't because if it wasn't for that, I won't be in sales. :D Every rejection is a redirection. Appreciate your hustle, Dr.!

I literally just developed an addiction to Impact Theory! Loved this episode cause of the laid back format. I feel like anything I am struggling with on my journey to create the life I want I can simply consult with one of my personal mentors at Impact Theory. Deepest GRATITUDE FOR THIS CHANNEL.

This was such a RICH and CONTENT FILLED interview. I'm going to strategically use the 7 steps Dr. Finesse outlined. Thank you for this interview, Tom.

I've commented here before, I love watching these episodes - I watch IT, Lewis Howes, Tim Ferriss, etc. and I'm not a young entrepreneur - but there is so much wisdom here and Dr. Finesse, this episode, all of it, put a huge smile on my face. Such warmth and reality and inspiration. Thank you!

comon Tom it’s not v polite not offering food to your guest, and that looks delicious

Interviews tend to make me feel a number of things when I watch them. Some generate curiosity, other inspire me and of course, there are the ones that make me have a deep reflection o myself (take the one with Joe Dispenza on IP for example). This one made me feel something I don’t remember feeling while watching an interesting conversation, and that’s joy. I actually paused the video to leave this comment and keep going because I’m literally grateful that I’m listening to this. Thanks Tom and thanks Chris! *Pressing “send” and watching the rest of the video*

So this man admits that he goes to parties for food, and the interviewer eats a fat burger in front of him.. lol!

I haven't watched your interviews in a while. I see the number of your subscribers has significantly grown compared to the last time I paid attention to the figure. So happy for you! You are an amazing interviewer. I definitely get it why you praised Chris so many times during the talk. It's hard not to recognize his charisma. Besides, he seems to have a wonderful level of humility. Keep up the great work guys!

This interview is why I have a savings fund building to attend #impactuniversity

I respect that what he says about food helping him to go events I can relate.

watched 3 1 hour videos while learning today, love the talks and everything you can learn from them! keep it up

This has been one of the best episodes that I have seen, because I can relate so much to Dr. Finesse story. I’m still finding my way but hearing this, helps bring so much clarity to my meaning and purpose. I’ve thought for so long that I’ve had no real talent but hosting my relationships with people I’ve notice is a skill. I’m so over my 9-5 job but I do definitely believe that I’ve sharpened my skills by being in this job. I’m here in the DMV, but I would love for him to be my mentor one day. Tom, your an amazing host as always and I appreciate you as well as the aspiring things that you bring out of your guests on the show. I’ll meet your guys soon on the rise to the top, but for now... take care and know that you all are an inspiration to me and many more! One love... #KeepInspiring John Anderson aka @JohnTerrohn on ig ✊🏾 P.S. S/o to this being my first post ever on any type of RU-vid video

I found this very interesting and I like to stay home too but recently I have been going out more in order to network. I am 22 years old and do not drink but I bring my camera with me because I am photographer and videographer, building my own business.

These early interviews are refreshing to hear and watch because it shows the evolution of Tom. His more recent I reviews seem to make me feel like " I could never be this good". It's always good to realize that we all start somewhere. BTW I'm assuming this was an early one. Anyway, great to see and helps me recognize, again, that everyone has a beginning.

Interesting! Thanks for sharing. Believe it or not, I started and run a networking community of introverts. Its been 5 years. I encourage them to get from ONline to meet other introverts OFFline at our monthly meetups. In all honesty, it's hard work but its really fulfilling when I see them progress, gaining confidence to interact and connect and relate with others.

I enjoyed this a lot! I also chuckled at one point because I found myself thinking "Dr Finesse is awesome! I like him he seems cool!" then I realized you had literally just gotten done talking about how generally well liked he is haha damn I fell for his trap!

This was truly great, I have never watched anything on RU-vid (videos) but I am everything Tom Bilyeu. My soul has been fed... I am truly myself this was confirmation

Awesome! Thank you, Bilyeu and Dr. Finesse for the talk! Here follows the 5 love languages I've learned in the Gary Chapman's book! 1ª: Word of affirmation 2ª: Acts of service 3ª: Receiving gifts 4ª: Quality time 5ª: Physical touch

Dr Finess is the truth!! damn! Lots of great content from a humble dude. I appreciate this 1 like many Tom & IT team!

100% facts!! I’ve been working more to put my phone down and have more face to face, genuine conversations. Also such a powerful tip to not always sell... just add value and make friends. The opportunities will come after.

Dear Dr. Finesse. I love your mom though I don't know who she is: my mom was very much like her. Those 7 do's of networking is so very important I just stuck then on my wall. I live by #7 Tom ............ you're the best. I LOVE your show.

I effing love this episode! I watch all of them and I get captivated by all the knowledge but this one was so much more relaxed? Not really sure if that’s the word but this is phenom. Tim your ability to navigate a conversation and ask meaningful impactful questions is exhilarating and inspiring !

Watching and learning a lot! It's my first time to "meet" you, Tom and Christopher. Thanks for really emphasizing the wonders of networking!

Amazing! I loved-loved-loved-loved this "interview". One of the best, so raw and fun! Keep up the good work!

Wow my favorite episode. I need to meet Dr finesse. Great advice and I'm gone try these out. Also need to go watch the show asap

This is literally one of the funniest interview. And Tom is right. Christopher Finnese is so lovable. The seven do’s are definitely helpful. Thank you Tom and Christopher.

Very nice conversation. Thank you very much Dr. Finesse and Tom!!!

Hey Tom, Really love what you are doing. So inspirational. I am addicted to your channel and have been binge watching. keep up the good work. Love you

Great episode! Been watching for years and This is now on my top 3 favorite interviews on Impact Theory.

Another great show, can't wait to meet Christopher, so many of his stories are similar to mine. Also can't wait to meet you both. Sometimes you just come across people that are the type of people you would be friends with. Great show, I am a power networker as well and agree with all of his rules. I think being all in with people from the moment you meet them is key, people don't get that from their boss, their friends and family and generally it just makes them want to be around you, any business benefit will happen organically when it is a good match.

His voice, wow!!!

This guy is good, love the 7 rules. I can see why he brings value to your company his networking mastery is off the charts!!! Thank you for the good quality information!

Dr. Finesse, excellent chat. TY!

Awesome! Lots of golden nuggets in there from both of you, thanks! More Dr. Finesse on Charistma and Charm, please.

Hey Tom been watching your videos for a month and love your goals and everything you produce. Saw your t shirt in this video and wondered if you had ever gone into detail about everything that you take from the matrix. Have you considered doing a voice over podcast for the movie(s) covering this.

totally enjoyed this interview. thanks guys.

Love this info and love the love of the team. Thank you again!

Love this so much. Please have more of your team. This was very nice how lowkey and chill it was. Great advice. Dont burn bridges..hmmmm. that hit me hard. And dont be pushy. Am going to take this advice and use it

Such great chemistry between you two! Great interview!

This interview was really helpful. I actually took notes.

Real loved this 😁!

I love this interview.... he is so cool! It’s nice to see Tom laughing!

Plenty of gems in this episode. Loved it 🔥

love this interview so much

Thank you for your spirit of Excellency... Excellent quality videos Excellent topics....Much appreciated ✨

This session is one of the most interesting ones they have shot outside the show. If there is any impact theory fans in Atlanta please hit me up. I️ would love to meet up with you for some drinks 🍹

Loved! AMAZING! Thank u both.

very very inspiring!

At 9:10 during a casual jam session, has a convo, accepts a job and is like "yea man" and does a little rift 🎶🎶 😂 so funny. Then at 9:45, randomly, a small adorable puppy walks into view and parks it onstage by Dr. Finesse's foot. Haha good stuff. He said his incentive to go to a party invite was if there was going to be food there? Open bar "nah" Food? "Yea, I'm there" Lol. Then opportunities & connections occured organically... What?!!! At 16:00 Tom is served and eats food during interview, doesnt give to Finesse?!! What is happening here??

This gave me hope , really inspiring interview

Networking notes taken! Thanks.

I am STOKED to see your journey DECADES from now!!

Very informative!!! You are dropping gems 💎

1. Get off the screen and get out on the street. 2. Be a good sales person. 3. Be bold but not pushy. 4. Be social media savvy. 5. Don’t burn your bridges. 6. Have some personality. (open up a bit) 7. Be yourself.

How could you guys not even bring such a meal for Chris too. He was dying inside for those 15 minutes...

Thank you for sharing the 7 rules!! 👌🏼

These are very good. I thank you for these 7 tips. My question is what can I as an introverted and extroverted person (on certain days) do to improve my attitude so that I can be "up" all day long rather than down and in the dumps and not able to get out of my "funk". I like being a friendly person who cares about others...until the next day for some reason. Can you give me some suggestions what I should do to make sure my attitude and mind set is positive daily? I appreciate your TIME getting back to my questions. Thank you

1 Word of affirmation 2 physical touch 3 quality time 4 receiving gifts 5 acts of service

GREAT segment!!!

Tom I liked every bit of the video wea u both induced a person to talk abt himself before u sell something,this a principle of understanding someone vs being understood in selling (persuading)

this literally JUST helped me land personal training gig ! divine energy intervention

Dr. Finesse is really good at storytelling

Why the hell doesn't this have more views? This was fucking awesome!

Question for Christopher or Tom: When does perseverance turn into harassment when trying to reach a hard-to-reach influencer?

Loyalty yessssssssssss
