Your Network is your Net Worth

[X-ray]

This isn't always the case. There aren't that many people who needed network to be rich, depends on what your rich understanding is. To make few million dollars, which is all you need to live forever without a need to work again, you do not need network of rich people. I know people who used few thousand dollars and become millionaires in crypto alone, did they have any proper networking? Of course not. Same goes for every industry and not just bitcoin, plenty of people like that.

Obviously it is true that if you have a great network a big wide one, then you could do something, but that doesn't mean that you are going to end up with a great return, doesn't mean you will benefit from it, it is just a help if you ever need it.

It's definitely not a necessary when you can build wealth from investing, etc.

However there are times when you want to create hedge fund for example and need capital injection. That's where networking come in handy.

But, yeah. There are just something that you can do all by yourself including being millionaire through investment like those millionaires investor did, but I doubt it will be easier without networking.

Networking is definitely a good thing to have if you are really trying to push yourself to build that massive wealth I guess.

Surround yourself with builders, dreamers, and doers.
Cut off the drama.
Grow with people who want to grow

The network I have is indeed another valuable asset that is not physical because it is only a relationship, but did you know that the network we have is not built on one thing but on more than one. Not everyone in the network is built on family ties, but there are people in the network who are built on the basis of interests.
Only relationships built on emotional bonds will last longer than those built on interests, and I am still in a network built on family ties, filled with people who dream big, who dream of making changes on a scale larger than the family.

That is the fact, anyone that wants to grow and be successful needs to be around people who are already successful or those who have the same mindset as them, because those are the ones who will always inspire them about good things and how to be successful. Staying around those who do not have a great mindset will lead to no progress in life, and someone’s thinking will always be like theirs.Sometimes, where we stay or the people we live with determine our level of success. That is why we need to always stay around great people to avoid negative thinking.

I know someone who was poor when he was living in the village, but when he moved and met another set of friends, he started becoming successful. In the village, his friends were people who only sat under trees, played games all day, and in the evening went back home. But when he got to the city, the people he met were workers, and that is how he started hustling too.

It is true that environment really shapes people. The thoughts of those we spend time with gradually seep into us. If everyone around us is just complaining and lazy, it becomes difficult to be different, But I also think that just changing places or people doesn't change everything. The desire to change within oneself has to come first. Anyone who has been successful in meeting new people in a city must have had a desire to learn. A good environment provides opportunities but ultimately it is up to oneself to make use of those opportunities.

[HustleZ]

change your circle (network) because your network is your net worth.Cultivate your relationships,invest in people,grow your garden and watch your life transform beautifully.

Changing A circle isn't as easy as it sounds. Leaving the people you spend part of your life with is hard but you have to make hard choices in order to become successful. It's true that Newtwork plays an important role in Becoming successful and scaling up but one thing you have to keep in mind is that to have a Good Network you have to also be somewhat successful and provide value to that network you want to have. Unless you have someone successful in your family or another Case. So the point is that a person shouldn't first focus on a Network but build himself as a person and as a brand and then it becomes fairly easy to fit in with people whom you deem successful. When you haven't achieved something in life and don't provide value to a network they won't feel happy to cooperate with you. So first Focus should be on A person himself then to scale up one can use his network.

It's true, network is all about sharing common interest amongst the people that are part of it. If we have network through our families ties, then there goes the ties that commits the same interest.

And that's the better type of network that we can have because you'll get to have those people whom you'd need and also the people that might need you.

It's all about helping each other and ties like this will give you better exposure to the field that you want to dig especially if it's related to business and investments.

In the village, his friends were people who only sat under trees, played games all day, and in the evening went back home. But when he got to the city, the people he met were workers, and that is how he started hustling too.

But do you know where he moved to and what kind of people his new friends are? How can you be sure that the new environment and new friend have helped him succeed?

Additionally, I guess that there are a lot of young people in your area moving to other cities or countries in search of opportunities. But not too many people can succeed, right?

In my opinion, his success is due to his own hard work, perseverance, and unwavering determination, not to the help of anyone else. Believe me, if you have clear goals, steadfast determination and enough motivation, you will succeed regardless of the circumstances around you.

It is true that your surrounding have an impact on you, but the final decision is up to you.

This is the gospel truth and fact your company plays a very important role in your success story because one thing about success is that, it starts from your orientation and believes systems. There are people who believes that, every thing has a time that is why they don't think about improving themselves waiting for the time set by God for them to succeed. These set of people will likely end up not being successful because of the types of people which has influenced their beliefs system.


For success to come in any way the first thing that will happen is a change of believe system and that can only come when you funds yourself around people who will spore you up. There are people who live in the village in my part of the world that wakes up and drinks palm wine and plays some village games and believes in marrying more wife , if you find yourself around these types of people who are likely to become one of them.

It's true, network is all about sharing common interest amongst the people that are part of it. If we have network through our families ties, then there goes the ties that commits the same interest.

And that's the better type of network that we can have because you'll get to have those people whom you'd need and also the people that might need you.

It's all about helping each other and ties like this will give you better exposure to the field that you want to dig especially if it's related to business and investments.

It is not a network that exists because of family, but a network based on relationships that initially did not know each other but over time have become relationships that are stronger than those between siblings. This type of network is usually formed during college or while working abroad. For example, I am currently in my final year of college and I have a circle of friends who share both the good and the bad because our friendships are built on a healthy foundation where we enjoy discussing what we will do after leaving university without having to ask our parents for help anymore. We also come from different regions.

From what we have seen, these types of relationships usually last a long time and turn into networks that support each other in shaping their lives.

[Jateng]

Know thy self, many people will do very well with other people, something you all called networking but I am sorry to say that this is not for me, I am different and work on my own, I am not someone who works under anyone, this is not a show off or ego related, this is just me.

Let me use trading for example, I have friends who are very good with trading, and when I decide to be like them things start to go very bad for me but when I decide to do things my own way I always get good results.

I do trade at times but if I try to turn trading to something I do every week I always get bad results even while I know alot about trading, find what works for you, not everyone is supposed to be around others to get things working for them in life, some are very different.

Every person is different and has different morals ways of working and decision making. anyway we know that there are different paths to success.Some choose one path and some choose another. some paths there is also the path of solitude person achieves results by thinking alone.Your example shows that choosing a path by looking at others does not always lead to success. That is why you should use your own wisdom and not impose yourself on others every time. There is nothing wrong with that because you do not want to work according to anyone rather you identity your self

[Ryu_Ar1]

The problem is that this is not going to be an easy thing to do as we all realize that being in this kind of environment is not going to be easy.

We know that today's classification or maybe generation Z calls it a cyrcle for now is not only determined by wealth but also knowledge because there will rarely be people who can be said to be rich or smart in the same room with those who are poor or stupid. Moments like this will be a rare thing because everything has a limit that we can't even penetrate easily.

It is possible but if it can be done then it becomes a very rare thing in the end so even though networking and connection is a very good thing but I think we know that to be there and make this a benefit for ourselves then we have to try to cross the boundaries that are already there from the beginning.

Grow with people who want to grow

Yeah, this is so true, lately I have learned to really be careful about who I let into my circle.. I try to surround myself with people who are really building, hustling, and chasing their dreams, because that kind of energy is what pushes me to do more too.
And also those dramas waste time and energy a lot, I would rather put those time into growing myself.. At the end of the day, I have realized my growth depends a lot on the people I keep close, so I am more intentional about it now..

yo are very right, if you stay in a poor environment and around poor people, it will affect your outcome. If you live around with a circle of friends who do not think big and have myopic thinking then you are most likely to be drawn into thinking like them if you do not change such circle and when you do, those people will be thinking  you have abandoned them. Even living around poor family mindset is a bad effect to somebody growth because a poor family mentality will not help you grow but will always be after how you can feed them with the little you are making thereby consuming all your efforts into uncontrollable and unending expenses.

That is not something everyone does. I have met my wife at college, so I have a "network" there lol, but aside from her I have zero contact from anyone from there at all, not a single person. What kind of network you need is in business, because if you are in an industry, doesn't matter what you do, if in that business you are known and talk to people then you are going to get a greater return without a doubt. I know that it is not easy, meeting people after your 30's, but imagine if you knew the executive brand of top 30 companies in your field?

All the CEO's and CFO's and what not, that would be lovely isn't it? Doesn't mean you have to be close friends, just means you have to be speaking with them at times, so they know you. You would become very successful.

Show me your friends and I will tell the kind of person you are, when we move with the simple, it shows we are wise, which is wisdom, you can't claim being into cryptocurrency and yet have no crypto friends, same applies to when you're already into a business, then you will be attracted to other fellow businessmen to have feslsd together, this will tell more about your worth and value at the long run.

If you move with three businessmen, you will earn the status of the fourth businessman.
If you move with three bad people, you will become the fourth bad person. In the same way, if you can identify the right environment and lead your life accordingly, it will be good for you. If you can become a successful and large-scale businessman, you will receive a different kind of respect in society. This respect will be long-lasting.

[SquallLeonhart]

Warren Buffet had a senator father who opened up the doors for him to meet all the big names and get funded for his first years. Jeff Bezos had rich parents who fronted his business idea with 250k on his first day (this was 90's, so 250k was a lot, equal to millions today) and network to get him funded by venture capitalists. Elon Musk had a dad who owned slaves and mines in Africa.

Bill Gates had parents who could afford to buy a first style of computers back in the day and put it in his school and hire a computer teacher so that he can learn about computers even at age 14-15. Every rich person had a rich family with high networth and big network. If you could have the same, there is no stopping you, but it is highly doubtful that we do. People on this forum do not have parents like that, so we have to make our own, and hope our kids fair better than we do.

Your friends and the people around you influence you because your environment shapes what you see and talk about. Therefore, you need to be careful in choosing your friends. You should build your network to secure your future, not just to get by for the day. This will lead you to success in many areas and keep you away from trivial matters.

Just as important as choosing the right environment is distancing yourself from the wrong one; these decisions significantly impact your future. Our choices determine our future.

[Yeesha]

Take a moment and ask yourself;
Where did your biggest opportunity come from?

I like the statement, fake a moment to ask yourself: where did your biggest opportunities come from?

It is very important to ask yourself this question, as long as you are about to take any step in life in order to be a successful person. Because most times, opportunities Come through people such as friends, mentors, colleagues, or even strangers who introduced you to know ideas, resources, or connections. If you didn't know where your opportunities originate or start from, you may never know exactly where to start or what to focus on in order to grow. Building strong relationships, maintaining trust, and surrounding yourself with positive, knowledgeable, and supportive people can open doors that money alone cannot open. Your network gives you access to information, guidance, encouragement, and opportunities that will definitely shape your future and your whole life. Investing your time and efforts into meaningful relationships is one of the most powerful steps you can take towards personal and professional success.

It would be wonderful if our current network were involved in strategic areas of business, politics, and so on. Even CEOs and CFOs or other business positions do not have to come from among people (friends) who attended the same university, but it would be different if all these positions were filled by people who had gone through good times and bad together, even if they were not related by family ties.
If we know each other not because we are close friends, I am sure it will be different, even though it is a pleasant thing.

There is always an advantage to people who are surrounded by goal getters, dream chasers and those who are doing well in their line of business if you are following their steps you should be rest assured that you will be making progress in life. You can be motivated by what your circle of your friends are doing to start working hard to do better in what you do, get yourself good people who are doing better than you are qnw watch how you will start taking your work seriously to be in the level you see them. You don't need to force yourself on anyone but if you have got thosw whei are your genuine friends having them will pave ways for you to reach some level you never dream of and if you are chasing what they already have your relationship with them gives you the advantage to get what you want faster with them.

I agree, being surrounded with people that are eager and business minded makes you influenced also to become one because you are motivated to be successful also and also you can expand also to people interested in business which also leverage your success if executed well. If I have the chance to have that circle of people I would be very grateful and inspired to be successful in life.
