11. Networking
The wealthiest people are rarely, if ever, a one-person show. Even though J.K. Rowling, for example, wrote the Harry Potter books by herself, she had editors, consultants, writers, agents and publishers that helped turn her stories into what they are today. The wealthiest people make networking a priority. They attend events that help them to build their network and they surround themselves with mentors and like-minded people. When you have a strong network, you will receive help when you need it and you’ll have the opportunity to help others, too. Spending time with like-minded individuals, or other wealthy individuals, helps you to become more like them. It inspires you and alters your perspective on life and money. You may know people that often say “money won’t make you happy” or even “money doesn’t grow on trees.” These people should be avoided if you’re an aspiring millionaire because they can cloud your thoughts with negative beliefs. Financially successful people are optimistic; they don’t see money as out of their reach. They also don’t see money as all there is to life, but see it as a way to make positive things (like world change) happen.
