WEBVTT - Upgrade your network

0:00:03.480 --> 0:00:09.400
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of iHeartRadio. Good Morning,

0:00:10.760 --> 0:00:16.560
<v Speaker 1>This is Laura. Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast. Today's

0:00:16.600 --> 0:00:21.560
<v Speaker 1>tip is to upgrade your network. If you'd like to

0:00:21.600 --> 0:00:25.680
<v Speaker 1>achieve success in the new year, you should surround yourself

0:00:25.720 --> 0:00:28.920
<v Speaker 1>with other people who are trying to take their game

0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:33.480
<v Speaker 1>to the next level. Two. Today's tip, like another one

0:00:33.479 --> 0:00:37.680
<v Speaker 1>this week, comes from Rachel rogers excellent book We Should

0:00:37.720 --> 0:00:42.120
<v Speaker 1>All Be Millionaires. Rogers writes about how people from all

0:00:42.159 --> 0:00:47.680
<v Speaker 1>sorts of different backgrounds can build serious wealth. One thing

0:00:47.840 --> 0:00:52.520
<v Speaker 1>Rogers suggests is forming what she calls a million dollar squad.

0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:56.680
<v Speaker 1>These are people you can be closely aligned with. You

0:00:56.680 --> 0:00:59.800
<v Speaker 1>can hold each other accountable for making it to the top.

0:01:01.320 --> 0:01:04.440
<v Speaker 1>She suggests asking a few questions to see who might

0:01:04.440 --> 0:01:11.080
<v Speaker 1>be right for your squad. Does this person bring wealth, energy, power, peace,

0:01:11.640 --> 0:01:16.160
<v Speaker 1>and or joy into my life consistently? Does this person

0:01:16.200 --> 0:01:19.720
<v Speaker 1>bring financial riches into my life as in client referrals,

0:01:20.160 --> 0:01:25.479
<v Speaker 1>job leads genius money making ideas. Does this person bring

0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:29.480
<v Speaker 1>emotional riches into my life? Boost my mood, make me

0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:32.800
<v Speaker 1>believe I can do anything, Inspire me to take better

0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:37.640
<v Speaker 1>care of myself, make me laugh like a hyena. Does

0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:41.440
<v Speaker 1>this person help me climb that million dollar mountain, moving

0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:45.400
<v Speaker 1>ever closer to the peak like a trusted sherpa, or

0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:49.120
<v Speaker 1>are they dragging me down to the depths? Conversely, do

0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:51.760
<v Speaker 1>I feel confident that I can add something magical to

0:01:51.800 --> 0:01:58.520
<v Speaker 1>this person's life elevate them too? Rachel Rogers suggests even

0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:03.000
<v Speaker 1>writing a squad like a job description, but she says

0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:06.840
<v Speaker 1>it's more fun. Write a few paragraphs about the kind

0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:10.000
<v Speaker 1>of people you are looking to have join you. This

0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:12.079
<v Speaker 1>might help you think of people in your life that

0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:14.880
<v Speaker 1>you'd like to enlist, and you can also keep this

0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:17.280
<v Speaker 1>description in mind as you meet people over the next

0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:20.760
<v Speaker 1>few months and figure out who might be a good addition.

0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:26.040
<v Speaker 1>Then figure out how your million dollar squad will operate.

0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:30.800
<v Speaker 1>There are lots of options. Maybe you are looking to

0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:34.720
<v Speaker 1>have a formal mastermind once a year, or maybe you

0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:38.480
<v Speaker 1>are looking for more casual group chats. Maybe you are

0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:42.440
<v Speaker 1>specifically looking for accountability for goals you have set, or

0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:46.079
<v Speaker 1>you are looking for folks to inspire different goals. It's

0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:49.400
<v Speaker 1>all good. It all just matters what would make you

0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:52.839
<v Speaker 1>feel excited, and some of this can develop on its

0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:57.520
<v Speaker 1>own too. But if you'd like to achieve success, because hey,

0:02:57.720 --> 0:03:01.200
<v Speaker 1>as Rachel Rogers says we should all be millionaire. It's

0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:04.119
<v Speaker 1>helpful to talk frequently with others who want the same thing.

0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:07.840
<v Speaker 1>They will give you ideas and you can learn from

0:03:07.840 --> 0:03:11.560
<v Speaker 1>what they try. They can introduce you to people, and

0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:14.919
<v Speaker 1>since you know and trust these people, you can introduce

0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:19.919
<v Speaker 1>them in full confidence as well. Work is a lot

0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:23.880
<v Speaker 1>more fun when you don't have to go it alone.

0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:27.960
<v Speaker 1>So upgrade your network this year and you will, no

0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:33.200
<v Speaker 1>doubt in the year feeling quite rich. In the meantime,
