“You're not even going to have the opportunity to build relationships if you're not putting yourself out there, and you're not in the room, and you're not meeting people. If you're just sitting in your home, sitting in your apartment, sitting at your desk, or sitting at your nine-to-five, making a post on Instagram and hoping that somebody buys from you or hoping that somebody slides into your DMs and asks you to be on your podcast, it doesn't work that way. You have to be actively seeking out opportunities, and you actively seek out opportunities by building relationships and building what is called relationship capital.” – Jillian
