Keith Ferrazzi Rap

Good morning good morning to you all
It’s my pleasure to introduce someone who will completely enthrall
He’s going to blow the roof off, he might change your life
Put an end to insecurities, doubt and strife

He’s known as a master of connection
And it’s true his database is an enormous collection
But what you’ll learn is it’s not about how many people you know
It’s about how many great relationships you grow

It’s not just about how many people you can ping
It’s about how many people who will sing
Your praises whenever they are asked
How was it to work with you on a project or The Big Task

First build a community, a network built on mutual respect
And these peeps, your posse you must never neglect
Building that core team becomes the holy grail
For this is the place where No One is Allowed to Fail

Then maybe just when you think that big contract fell through
You’ll turn that close shave into a WOO-HOO
You’ll start to reach higher because it feels like ain’t nothing you can’t do
Because your team is tight, bonded like glue

Then build your identity your very own brand
One that is credible, distinctive, easy to expand
A brand that reflects the beliefs and talents that you know most
And soon you’ll be inking contracts from coast to coast

But before you focus on improving your standard of living
Remember you earn trust and proximity first by giving
With a big head you’ll think you turn everything to gold
Be careful in your success, don’t let hubris take hold

Your final task should you choose to accept
Is share this wonderful gift, without pause or regret
For if its true legacy you want to approach
Teach and share, become a mentor, a coach

People in the house
Open up your hearts and minds, there is nothing to fear
To deliver this message Keith Ferrazzi is here
