Speaker 1: Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of iHeartRadio. Good Morning,
Speaker 1: This is Laura. Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast. Today's
Speaker 1: tip is to upgrade your network. If you'd like to
Speaker 1: achieve success in the new year, you should surround yourself
Speaker 1: with other people who are trying to take their game
Speaker 1: to the next level. Two. Today's tip, like another one
Speaker 1: this week, comes from Rachel rogers excellent book We Should
Speaker 1: All Be Millionaires. Rogers writes about how people from all
Speaker 1: sorts of different backgrounds can build serious wealth. One thing
Speaker 1: Rogers suggests is forming what she calls a million dollar squad.
Speaker 1: These are people you can be closely aligned with. You
Speaker 1: can hold each other accountable for making it to the top.
Speaker 1: She suggests asking a few questions to see who might
Speaker 1: be right for your squad. Does this person bring wealth, energy, power, peace,
Speaker 1: and or joy into my life consistently? Does this person
Speaker 1: bring financial riches into my life as in client referrals,
Speaker 1: job leads genius money making ideas. Does this person bring
Speaker 1: emotional riches into my life? Boost my mood, make me
Speaker 1: believe I can do anything, Inspire me to take better
Speaker 1: care of myself, make me laugh like a hyena. Does
Speaker 1: this person help me climb that million dollar mountain, moving
Speaker 1: ever closer to the peak like a trusted sherpa, or
Speaker 1: are they dragging me down to the depths? Conversely, do
Speaker 1: I feel confident that I can add something magical to
Speaker 1: this person's life elevate them too? Rachel Rogers suggests even
Speaker 1: writing a squad like a job description, but she says
Speaker 1: it's more fun. Write a few paragraphs about the kind
Speaker 1: of people you are looking to have join you. This
Speaker 1: might help you think of people in your life that
Speaker 1: you'd like to enlist, and you can also keep this
Speaker 1: description in mind as you meet people over the next
Speaker 1: few months and figure out who might be a good addition.
Speaker 1: Then figure out how your million dollar squad will operate.
Speaker 1: There are lots of options. Maybe you are looking to
Speaker 1: have a formal mastermind once a year, or maybe you
Speaker 1: are looking for more casual group chats. Maybe you are
Speaker 1: specifically looking for accountability for goals you have set, or
Speaker 1: you are looking for folks to inspire different goals. It's
Speaker 1: all good. It all just matters what would make you
Speaker 1: feel excited, and some of this can develop on its
Speaker 1: own too. But if you'd like to achieve success, because hey,
Speaker 1: as Rachel Rogers says we should all be millionaire. It's
Speaker 1: helpful to talk frequently with others who want the same thing.
Speaker 1: They will give you ideas and you can learn from
Speaker 1: what they try. They can introduce you to people, and
Speaker 1: since you know and trust these people, you can introduce
Speaker 1: them in full confidence as well. Work is a lot
Speaker 1: more fun when you don't have to go it alone.
Speaker 1: So upgrade your network this year and you will, no
Speaker 1: doubt in the year feeling quite rich. In the meantime,
Speaker 1: this is Laura. Thanks for listening, and here's to making
