My circle of friends is worthless; what do I do?
You are the average of the five people you hang around, so that means if your friends are worthless, it’s time to get some new ones. I struggled with this growing up because my mindset was always very different from people in my environment. Until I was able to separate myself, I regularly fell into the trap of materialism, redundant partying, and no real-life goals.
After I got fed up with the complacency in my life, I decided to create the mindset I would need to be successful. This meant buying and reading books such as Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Millionaire next door and courses on finance and self-development. I would hang out in places that I knew I could find other successful people and talk to them. I found out about the meetup app and started attending those events and made a lot of friends there as well. The irony is no matter how many people you meet if you never follow up, your relationships will never flourish!
Every-time I meet someone I make it a priority to text them that same day and thank them for coming out and then I put them in my database and follow up accordingly. Before you know, you’ll have a database of new friends, and you guys can invite each other to business events.
Teamwork really does make the “Dreamwork”
The significant part about having friends with similar mindsets is that you’ll always push each other to new levels. I have one friend who’s a real scum bag lol I mean all the guy does is scheme on how to make money however because of that we make a great team and pretty decent money together.
Making new friends doesn’t mean ditching your old ones it just means you are more conscious of who you spend your time with. You need party friends, and then you need friends that get down to business because these are the people who are going to have you prepare for the life you want to live.
If you don’t have any friends, the answer is simple. Make some! Get out there and create your mastermind group !!
