Last year, I spent an uncomfortable $30,000 on a coaching program.
Sure, part of it was for the knowledge and accountability and help in executing.
But the biggest reason was to network with entrepreneurs who were more successful than me.
In business, there’s no taboo around making money.
If my business makes $500,000 a year and your business makes $5,000,000 a year, then you’re better at business than me.
And if you’re better at business than mine, then I have a lot I can learn from you.
Whether it’s your mindset on sales or your perspective on recruiting or the management of your capital, you have something to teach me.
But I’ll never learn any of it if I only hang out with people who know what I already know.
So if you want more money, hang out with people who have more money than you.
(People who EARNED it, not DNA lottery winners.)
That doesn’t mean you have to give up your lifelong friends (who I bet are at the same level as you).
It just means finding new networks where YOU are the weakest link.
As Tony Robbins says “Success leaves clues.”
But you can’t follow the clues if you’re the one carving the path.
