So now let's talk about the mindset that you should have in social interactions. So I would like to share with you the three step mindset that I have to. So now let's talk about the mindset that you should have when you're interacting with people. So I would like to share with you the three parts of mindset that I have, when I am interacting with people. The first mindset that you should have is that you should see everyone as an opportunity not to take care or to take advantage of other people. But see everyone as an opportunity.

See everyone, as people who can bring you that or who could give you something at a moment in time. In other words, you can approach someone and you never know what you will get out of this interaction. So I approach a lot of people and I network with with a lot of people, I give value, I just interact with them, and I see people as an opportunity. And what happens is that I get a lot in return. For example, I was flying from janeiro to Paris. And now and I was sitting next to someone, and it was a French person, and I start talking to him.

And he was a business person that was really into self development. And it's really my field. And he gave me a lot of advices for my business, and if I wouldn't have approached him, I would have missed this opportunity. Another example, I was eating, I was on the bank eating, and then I started talking to the girl next to me, and we just exchanged a few words, and I took her Facebook, and that's it. Nothing really happened. But she told me that she lived in a frog innopolis in Brazil, and nothing really happened.

And then five years later, I decided I want to go and live in for innopolis in Brazil. So then I just contacted her via Facebook and then she showed me the city. She showed me everything that there was to do there. As you can see, you never know the opportunities that people will bring you so have an open mind when you are approaching people. The second part is that you have that you should have a positive mindset about people. Because if you think that people are stupid and evil, and bad people, if you think that in your brain, you will project that into them, because whatever you think, will be a self fulfilling prophecy.

So it means that if you think that people are bad in Egypt, you will interpret all the behaviors as bad. And being I would say, I've been a total Egypt. So what you want to do is to have a positive mindset that says, Oh, I really want to approach people, because they are friendly, open minded, and I can have a great time with them. Because if you have a positive mindset, you will be able to really connect with these people that will be really positive towards you. And sadly, you will, you won't be able to connect with people who are mean and who are idiots and who are bad. So it's a really great way to have a positive mindset.

This Part of the mindset is that you should have a value giving mentality. It means that when you approach people, you should be able to give value to them. It can be by saying something by giving information by giving an advice by just saying something nice by giving a compliment. Or even with your nonverbal with the energy that you have, you can make someone smile, you can make someone feel better, just with your energy level. If you're feeling great, and you approach someone, you will be able to make the other person feel great. So always have this value giving mentality when you approach the monitor network networking event.

Just don't take value. Don't just say, Oh, I want to get your money. I want to have you as a client. You can just say, you can even introduce this person to another person you can use you should try to add as much value as you can to the other person's life. When you approach someone in a bar restaurant, in any situation, and if you adopt this mindset, you will see how powerful it is and how it can really help you and teach you your social life to the next level. So now, the exercise, I really encourage you to analyze the mindset that you have about people and just write down.

People are. And then you see what comes up. People are stupid people are friendly, people are open minded people are bad. You just write down. And then you ask yourself this question is the mindset that you have helping you. If it's not helping you to meet new people, you can change it.

So you just write down another sentence at the bottom of the page, and you write down the new mindset that you want to have. And then every morning you read it. And I would like to also you to brainstorm five ways that you can add value to people in any social situation. Is it by telling jokes? Is it by saying something nice, is it by giving a compliment? What is it and then you will see that you really your social skill will go through the roof
