3
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 1: tip is to upgrade your network. If you'd like to

4
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 1: achieve success in the new year, you should surround yourself

00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: with other people who are trying to take their game

00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:33,480
Speaker 1: to the next level. Two. Today's tip, like another one

7
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: this week, comes from Rachel rogers excellent book We Should

8
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: All Be Millionaires. Rogers writes about how people from all

9
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: sorts of different backgrounds can build serious wealth. One thing

10
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:52,520
Speaker 1: Rogers suggests is forming what she calls a million dollar squad.

11
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: These are people you can be closely aligned with. You

12
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: can hold each other accountable for making it to the top.

13
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: She suggests asking a few questions to see who might

14
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: be right for your squad. Does this person bring wealth, energy, power, peace,

15
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: and or joy into my life consistently? Does this person

16
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: bring financial riches into my life as in client referrals,

17
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:25,479
Speaker 1: job leads genius money making ideas. Does this person bring

18
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 1: emotional riches into my life? Boost my mood, make me

19
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: believe I can do anything, Inspire me to take better

20
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: care of myself, make me laugh like a hyena. Does

21
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: this person help me climb that million dollar mountain, moving

22
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 1: ever closer to the peak like a trusted sherpa, or

23
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: are they dragging me down to the depths? Conversely, do

24
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: I feel confident that I can add something magical to

25
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: this person's life elevate them too? Rachel Rogers suggests even

26
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: writing a squad like a job description, but she says

27
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: it's more fun. Write a few paragraphs about the kind

28
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: of people you are looking to have join you. This

29
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,079
Speaker 1: might help you think of people in your life that

30
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: you'd like to enlist, and you can also keep this

31
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: description in mind as you meet people over the next

32
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: few months and figure out who might be a good addition.

33
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: Then figure out how your million dollar squad will operate.

34
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 1: There are lots of options. Maybe you are looking to

35
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: have a formal mastermind once a year, or maybe you

36
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: are looking for more casual group chats. Maybe you are

37
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: specifically looking for accountability for goals you have set, or

38
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 1: you are looking for folks to inspire different goals. It's

39
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: all good. It all just matters what would make you

40
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,839
Speaker 1: feel excited, and some of this can develop on its

41
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: own too. But if you'd like to achieve success, because hey,

42
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: as Rachel Rogers says we should all be millionaire. It's

43
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,119
Speaker 1: helpful to talk frequently with others who want the same thing.

44
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: They will give you ideas and you can learn from

45
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: what they try. They can introduce you to people, and

46
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 1: since you know and trust these people, you can introduce

47
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 1: them in full confidence as well. Work is a lot

48
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: more fun when you don't have to go it alone.

49
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: So upgrade your network this year and you will, no

50
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: doubt in the year feeling quite rich. In the meantime,
