The Black Book Framework: Quick Start Guide

Network with Intent. Build Relationships That Matter.

You Spent 2025 Posting Content. Now Spend 2026 Building Your Network.

I built 3 businesses without running a single ad, going viral, or having a massive following.

Just intentional networking.

This is the exact system I used—and it will work for you.

The Problem

You've been networking wrong.

You show up at events. You collect business cards. You send LinkedIn requests.

And then... nothing.

Here's why:

❌ You're networking randomly, not intentionally
❌ You're treating people like prospects, not relationships
❌ You're pitching when you should be giving
❌ You have no system to manage your network
❌ You're hoping for results instead of building them systematically

The result? A LinkedIn full of connections you never talk to and a "network" that doesn't generate opportunities.

The Solution: The Black Book Framework

A 30-day system for building a network of valuable connections through intentional relationship-building.

This isn't about collecting business cards or spamming LinkedIn DMs.

This is about: ✓ Building genuine relationships that compound over time
✓ Giving value first (so people WANT to help you)
✓ Creating a black book of high-quality connections
✓ Becoming the person everyone wants to know
✓ Letting your network sell for you (instead of you chasing)
