<div class="bbWrapper">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</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">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?</div>

This is first.<br /> <blockquote data-attributes="member: 84398" data-quote="Roark666" data-source="post: 909573" class="bbCodeBlock bbCodeBlock--expandable bbCodeBlock--quote js-expandWatch"> <div class="bbCodeBlock-title"> <a href="/community/goto/post?id=909573" class="bbCodeBlock-sourceJump" rel="nofollow" data-xf-click="attribution" data-content-selector="#post-909573">Roark666 said:</a> </div> <div class="bbCodeBlock-content"> <div class="bbCodeBlock-expandContent js-expandContent "> This will be a sequel to my first thread regarding how people suck.

Let&#039;s be real, you want to be surrounded by these people. A forum or a chat isn&#039;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&#039;re stuck in a meh town, move.<br /> <br /> I know for a fact I wouldn&#039;t have the network I have if I hadn&#039;t been lucky enough to accidentally move to Phoenix Arizona. There&#039;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&#039;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&#039;t stay. It&#039;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&#039;re in LA, so you should be able to find &quot;your people&quot;. <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>

<div class="bbWrapper">I recently joined Entrepreneur Toastmasters Club (believe me, it’s the thing). It’s like normal toastmasters club, but focused on business and entrepreneurship. <br /> <br /> Almost every single member is a successful entrepreneur of some sort.<br /> <br /> I finally met my people!</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Between high school and college I worked with 4-5 small business owners in their brick and mortar businesses. Most owners of these types of businesses physically work in them. Find some of these businesses that offer a product you like, become a return customer. Converse with the staff (and owner) and you&#039;d be surprised how open and friendly some of these owners are.<br /> <br /> In my last job as a director of operations for a small food group, I met a countless number of other local entrepreneurs. Most of which were because they liked our product, they would come in as a customer, and they would start up a conversation asking questions about our business. Be personable and open and you&#039;d be surprised by how many opportunities reveal themselves to make connections.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">This is a problem I have, I have been working for myself on my business for over a year now, and it is lonely, no coworkers, my friends all work 9-5 and I tend to be busy when they aren&#039;t, same with family. It&#039;s very hard to build a circle of like-minded people especially with the lockdowns etc.</div>
