Ep. 30 The 5 Keys to Quickly Cultivating Expert Status

Heavy squats, Mexican restaurants, and cultivating experts status - how are all these related? In this episode, we’ll discover what these three have in common and how these can help you cultivate your expert status with your clients! Just a few weeks ago, I got my knee busted while doing heavy squats like I’m still in my 20’s and it swelled like a water balloon. A few Xrays and MRI’s later, I was told by my doctor that he needs to “drain” the fluid. I resisted. I absolutely did not want to go through the procedure but my doctor convinced me to do it and my knee instantly felt better. So how did he get me from being apprehensive to being convinced that having my knee drained is the only way to help my knee heal?   Because he had taken the time to cultivate the “Expert” status in my mind.   And in this podcast episode, we get to dive into how you can quickly cultivate the expert status with your clients with just five keys.
