How to Use Network Infiltration to Create a Position of Strength

By Craig Ballantyne

The year 2006 was a pivotal one for me.

I conquered my crippling anxiety attacks.

I hired my first business coach (3 years too late, but still...).

I had my first product launch and hit #1 on Clickbank.

And because of that, I was able to quit my job as a personal trainer, work from home, make money with friends, and live the life of my dreams.

I’ve now been doing this so long that it seems like I was never part of a world with bosses, commutes, “set hours”, or paydays that only came along every two weeks.

This life is amazing.

And there were 2 POWER FACTORS — that most people overlook — that allowed me to get here.

The first was a Position of Strength (POS).

The second was Network Infiltration.

Let me explain those one at a time...

A POS is a reputation that precedes you. It sets you above the crowd. It opens up doors for you. It elevates you.

One example of this is being a speaker at a seminar.

You aren’t just “another attendee."

You’re someone special.

You’re seminar-famous.

People want to know you... men want to be you... women want to be with you. smiley

Okay, maybe it's not that extreme, but still...

...People hold you in higher regard when you have a position of strength.

It can come from having a podcast, writing a book, being a YouTube star, etc.

As an introvert, it really helps me when I enter an environment with a Position of Strength. It’s my crutch in social situations.

For example, last month at Joe Polish’s Genius Network even, I was in a room of 300 high-achieving entrepreneurs.

I felt a little intimidated and anxious.

Fortunately, because I’ve been able to help Joe Polish a lot in the past year, he mentioned me (and Bedros) several times during his talks on the first morning, and he put Bedros and I on the same level as Tony Robbins (because Joe had sought all of our advice on a major project).

That Position of Strength made it easier for me to introduce myself to others... and it had many other high-powered attendees seeking me out.

This might sound ‘lame’ to people that are more extroverted and confident, but it’s a system I use to get the momentum going for me. It’s much better than using alcohol as a social lubricant... now I use a Position of Strength and no longer have hangovers!

The second thing I mentioned, Network Infiltration, is just as powerful, and helps you naturally build a Position of Strength.

You can build your network by attending events, by “paying to play” (hiring coaches), by leveraging your current network to give you introductions.

The more people you know, the easier life gets.

As the old saying goes, “It’s WHO you know, not what you know.”

This is still in style. It matters as much now as it did two thousand years ago.

Here’s how I infiltrated my network to build my net worth.

First, I built my credibility by getting hooked up as a writer for Men’s Health. I used that Position of Strength to interview the biggest names in the fitness business. In turn, I used that Network Infiltration to get introductions to more magazines.

I used them both POWER FACTORS to build me up two ways.

And then I hired my coach and had him introduce me to dozens of affiliates.

Of course, there’s no doubt I could have been even more successful in my past decade of dominance had I hired a coach sooner.

That’s easily been the biggest mistake in my career – waiting too long to get a mentor and hire a coach and start building a POS and going deep in Network Infiltration.

I was too cheap, and too stubborn, and too much of a know-it-all. My ego got in the way of my success. Coaching was something I could have afforded in 2003.

If I had hired a coach three years earlier, I’d be helping 10X the number of people today... I’d probably have 5 books written instead of 3... and I’d have helped created 50 or 100 millionaires instead of the 25-30 I’ve helped create today.

And that’s what this business is all about... improving the lives of others.

Hiring a coach is the FASTEST way to take advantage of both Power Factors.

Unfortunately, most people are like the old me. They wait to get help, they make excuses, they sit around hoping, wishing, and dreaming, but never acting.

Earlier this year Bedros wrote article about this phenomenon, and he shared the top reasons why most people struggle.

6 Reason Most People Never Succeed

By Bedros Keuilian

1. They're waiting for their lucky break.

2. Too much hype. Not enough hustle.

3. They're allergic to hard work. It's easier to make excuses and procrastinate than grind.

4. They lack clarity of purpose.

5. They say they want opportunity, but they never take advantage of them.

6. They operate like amateurs instead of professionals.

“An amateur swings the bat, strikes out, and never plays baseball again,” Bedros said, “But the professional knows that striking out is part of becoming the best. It's how the universe weeds out the weak from the wealthy.”

“I salute the bad asses who get up early, do the work, overcome one adversity after another, set high goals and expectations for themselves and then show up everyday and do whatever it takes to get it done.”

“People who are hungry for success find a way,” Bedros said, “Put your money where your mouth is and invest in coaching, books, workshops, and seminars.”

Build your Position of Strength and Infiltrate Your Networks.
