How much time are you spending in proximity of powerful people?

Apr 24 in 31 P's

The power of proximity is not often talked about, but it has a really powerful effect on us.

If you take any poor man and put him in a room of 5 rich men, and you let him hang out with them long enough, he will become rich!

I've never met someone who hung around successful people and didn't become more successful themselves as a direct result.

Research shows that your net worth will be determined most not by your job, not by your skills, but by the 5 people you hang around most.

So, if you hang around 5 millionaires, you become the 6th.

We act and think like the people we hang around.

We are social animals, after all. Your tribe determines your vibe.

Question: Who do you want to hang around?

What do you want in your closest friend circle?

Write a list of at least 5 people you want to interact with daily.

Then look into how you can get closer to them.

Here are 5 ways that have worked for me:

I became their customer. I did this with Mike Arnstein, then flew out to Hawaii and hung out with him for a week. Then he flew out to Thailand to see me for a week.

2. I joined and contributed to their free community. I did this with Sam Ovens, then I hopped on a 5 hour Zoom call with him… then he invited me to California to come hang out with him for a week.

3. I flew out and attended their events. I did this with Mike Posner. I flew out to Iceland and hung out with him & his mom for a week.

I also did this with the Skool Games... I flew out and sat next to Alex Hormozi for 8 hours.

4. I hired them for private coaching. I did this with a popular YouTuber named Captain Sinbad.

5. I interviewed them for my podcast. I did this with triathlon world champion, Craig Alexander.

And I'm doing a podcast with a big business guy in Dubai this weekend...

Why?

There is an energetic power in proximity!

Get away from the losers, and get closer to winners.
