You've heard it said that your network equals your network. You've also heard the idea that our income is a reflection of the 5 people we choose to spend the most time with. The reality is that our network and those that we associate with have a greater influence on our earning potential and financial life than most people realize.
Those that you associate will influence the way that you think, the things that you believe and the activities that you participate in. Your network is a crucial component of the team you will surround yourself in building your wealth.
Average people do not think deeply enough about the influences the allow into their lives.
The reality is that people rise to the standards of their environment. Environment is always stronger than will power. When the environment we are in accepts comfort at a low level or finds financial struggle normal those are the outcomes we continue to create. When we level up our environment our results follow.
Over the course of five years I interviewed and studied 700 self made millionaires from all over the world. Without exception associations and networks were the most profound indicating factor that determined the financial future of individuals.
One of mentors stressed the importance of raising your level of associations at networking events when he said, "You'll never do a million dollar deal at a $10 breakfast." Through my own experience and the reports of others I have found this to be true again and again. Lower level networking is transactional, while higher level networking provides connections that are transformational.
Higher level connections raise the standards of your thinking, your beliefs and your activities. Higher level connections provide a higher quality of opportunities, further connections, ability to solve problems, experienced perspectives and expectation management.
As I grew my network my net worth grew. I experienced first hand, one of the benefits that most over look. My multi-millionaire network helped provide the emotional support I needed as I made my first million dollars. I had never had so much money. At first I went through what many might call toy-phase. This is exactly what most lottery winners experience and what leaves them broke. I went from a status of having no money to having no shortage of money. It was a bit of a shock to the system.
My network helped me recognize what was happening to me and coached me through that experience before I wound up back to broke. They helped me to learn many lessons and skills that got through to a stabilized experience of lasting wealth.
Your network will do more to help you create and maintain your wealth than almost any other consideration. Set goals now to create a strong, powerful and high level network and watch your financial situation change.
