Project 100 is the single most important skill I’ve learned for career success.

In 2013, at 23 years old and with no credibility or network in the U.S., I used it to earn my first $1,000 online helping a financial advisor for dentists in Salt Lake City with email marketing.

In 2017, I applied it to transform my team into a reliable operational machine, which resulted in a 100% salary raise and making me a millionaire (in Philippine pesos, but still a big deal at 27!).

In 2019, I leveraged it again to land a job in Germany, despite not knowing anyone in Europe.

What is Project 100?

Project 100 is a simple networking strategy: connect with 100 people who have done what you want to do, could benefit from hiring someone like you, or know others who fit those categories.

It’s my proven method to build meaningful connections, gain an edge in a competitive job market, and uncover hidden opportunities.

Here’s why I believe you should give Project 100 a shot, even if you’re not sure it will work:

Reason 1: Volume creates luck.

Luck is where preparation meets opportunity.

Project 100 gives you both.

First, the sheer volume of conversations helps you practice how you talk about yourself and listen to others, leading to better interviews and more job offers. Second, you’re talking to 100 people.

one.
hundred.
people.

Surely, some of them are hiring or know others who are.

Reason 2: You shift from selling yourself to finding the right fit.

When you have dozens of conversations lined up, you stop being desperate for any one opportunity to be THE ONE.

Instead, you can focus on understanding the other person — their goals, their worries, and whether you can genuinely help them.

Ironically, the less you try to ‘sell’ yourself, the better your results will be.

Reason 3: It puts you on the driver’s seat of your life.

Whatever you want to do, the ability to connect with people who can help you, hire you, or buy from you is essential.

• Not sure what to do with your life? Connect with 100 people who inspire you.
• Looking to change careers? Connect with 100 who have made the leap.
• Struggling to get a promotion? Connect with 100 who have achieved it.

You don’t have to be sure it will work to give Project 100 a try. All you need is the willingness to show up and start connecting. The more you practice it, the more luck you’ll create.

And that might just change your life.
