Networking isn't something I "do."
It's my lifestyle.
It's why I'm not stuck in a trailer in Colombus OH wondering why life never changes and I never 'catch a break.'
I built everything I have today because I forced myself to get around others who were smarter than me. More connected than me. Who had done things I only dreamed about, and were willing to show me how to do it myself.
Who you choose to surround yourself with is going to either propel you forward or drag you into the pits of despair with them. There's no in-between.
Right now I'm closing on a huge real estate deal, finalizing buying another company and a dozen other critical, expensive time-sensitive things in between.
The first calls I make every day are to people in my network who've already done deals 10X bigger. They point out what I'm not seeing. They save me from stupid mistakes. And they help me move even faster.
Powerful networks don't just support you. They sharpen you by proximity. You get smarter just being around them.
Right now if you're not making the kind of moves and money you want, you're not going to do it just because the new year is around the corner and there's a 'chance' for a new start to just fall out of the sky.
If everyone around you stays the same, you're going to stay the same with them.
You life expands when your network expands.
Not by you 'trying' harder. But by putting yourself around people who make 'growth' the baseline.
The right circle is the smartest shortcut to success you'll ever make.
