I’m starting to realize that to get rich, one needs to hang out with rich people but I’m not sure where to meet them. The only places I can think of are Silicon Valley and New York (no I don’t know where in New York they are).
Why have rich friends?
- If they didn’t make the money themselves, they at least know people who did can learn from them
- They’re the ideal customer because they can pay more for the same product
Network is a product of interest, merit, value and relatability. Successful people are drawn to others with, or who are currently pursuing their own successful ventures/interests.
Start by finding what makes you valuable and build from there. Is it problem solving? Affinity for numbers? Organization and systems?
All things can be valuable if pursued with an enterprising mindset and unwillingness to give up. The network is just a byproduct of your interests/ambition if experience means anything.
