The first place to start is with yourself, are you the type of person that kick a$$ people would want to be around? If not, what can you work on to improve?

This will be a sequel to my first thread regarding how people suck. I feel alive and well again but I still hold that sentiment. Most people will never make it in life and will try to drag you down if you change. How to find people who are 100% committed to growing and fighting for a better life? I was thinking paid forums. Do you guys have a separate chat on the paid forums here

</blockquote>The second thing is take a look at where you are. Let's be real, you want to be surrounded by these people. A forum or a chat isn't going to cut it. You want to be able to hang. You want them to be your friends and you want to be their friend.<br />
<br />
So go to places where they go. Pony up $1,000 and go to a Tony Robbins seminar. Then pony up five grand and go to the higher up seminar.<br />
<br />
That big price tag weeds out a lot of riff Raff. You want people that are committed to self-improvement? $5K says commitment.<br />
<br />
What else do these people that you want to be friends with do? Where do they hang? Where do they live?<br />
<br />
Ask around your local gyms. Ask where the business people go. Ask where the hustlers go. Show up really early in the morning. See who the hustlers are.<br />
<br />
Sure you can ask yourself where they hang online... And plenty of people here on this forum have made solid connections. (Go to the next summit).<br />
<br />
But those connections are eventually made stronger by getting together. By meeting in real life.<br />
<br />
If you're stuck in a meh town, move.<br />
<br />
I know for a fact I wouldn't have the network I have if I hadn't been lucky enough to accidentally move to Phoenix Arizona. There's no way I would become the person I am either. This is a place where people move to make their mark. To live a good life.<br />
<br />
I love Bethlehem Pennsylvania, where I'm from, and I still have my group of boys from high school that I hang out with every now and then. Three have successfully climbed corporate ladders, the one I thought would end up most successful is absolutely the least. But I am so glad I didn't stay. It's great to visit. But I wanted more for my life.<br />
<br />
Improve yourself. Improve your surroundings. Put yourself in places where it is easier to meet these people.<br />
<br />
And then be interesting.<br />
<br />
Hope that helps.<br />
<br />
Edit: <br />
One more thought. I just noticed you're in LA, so you should be able to find "your people". <br />
<br />
Create the group that will attract the people you want to attract. Start a Facebook group, a LinkedIn group, a meetup group, a workout group, some kind of club, and name it something that the group will identify with. Then promote it a little bit and see who shows up.</div>
