They say that you should choose your friends wisely. I firmly believe in this advice and try to follow it as best as I can. You may not be able to choose the people you meet or your circumstances but you can choose your friends. If you want to become wealthy then you should be mindful of who you hang out with. Here are 4 reasons why your friends can make you wealthy.
Network. Your network is equivalent to your net worth. You may be good at what you do but to succeed, you will need certain people to help you get there. A powerful set of friends will speed up the process. Why do you think organizations exist? It is so that like-minded people can gather together and help each other. But to receive, you have to give. Receiving without giving back will result in bad karma. An open hand can receive more blessings compared to a clenched fist.
Mindset. If you want to be a millionaire hang out with millionaires. These people think and act differently from “normal people.” When you look at rich people and poor people you will see that they are not much different from each other. They are basically the same when it comes to looks, talent, or skill. The only real difference between rich and poor people is the mindset. Wealthy people have a powerful mindset. When they want something they don’t look at the barriers along the way. They focus on the goal. Friends are a powerful influence. Hanging out with successful people will equip you with the mindset you need to become a success.
Resources. Your friends can be your resource. Where do you turn to when you have problems? Aside from this, your friends can become your business partners. You can use each other’s expertise to mutually benefit each other.
Moral support. The road to wealth is fraught with trials and hardships. But you need not do it alone. Having the support of your good friends can go a long way towards driving you on to continue the journey.
Good friends are like diamonds. They are rare and difficult to find. So treasure the friends you have and look after them.
