I'm starting to realize that to get rich, one needs to hang out with rich people but I'm not sure where to meet them. The only places I can think of are Silicon Valley and New York (no I don't know where in New York they are).

Why have rich friends?

  • If they didn't make the money themselves, they at least know people who did can learn from them
  • They're the ideal customer because they can pay more for the same product

Rich people can smell opportunists from a mile way so you need to be of use to them to hang with them.

[–] ADD-DDS@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Skiing, pickle ball, tennis, golf

Join a country club

Get rich then make rich friends

[–] felixkr613@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

You actually got work hard first, rich people don’t want to hang out with you unless you’re self made…meaning you need to make it yourself first, not hope others will do it for you through osmosis.

In my university there were many people with money and many times these people's relationships were based on the same groups in the university. One thing I have noticed is that in post-college life many of these relationships continue and there are usually alumni activities, but usually it would be to relate to one person in this group and from there become friends with the others.

Your best bet is surrounding yourself with other up and coming entrepreneurs. They will add perspective as they discover and grow, and you will as well. I personally, connect to other entrepreneurs online where we constantly discus our own journeys, ideas, value etc. because of this the growth occurs a lot faster on a daily basis. Unless you’re rich already you have nothing in common. For me I have rich mentors I’ve met while doing high ticket sales, where we call once every 6 months or so, but on a day to communicate with other entrepreneurs. We’re all making six figures plus, so we’re headed on the right track, just not “rich” yet

There's a big " it depends!". I no more than my share of rich people. Some of the nicest are the ones who started with nothing and worked their way up and busted their ass for years and years to finally make it. Some of the biggest rich assholes that I've ever met were the ones who came by it easily, either by daddy's money or by a windfall profit that didn't they didn't really work to earn it. But the best advice that I can give you whether you are talking to a rich person or a poor person is to take a step back and look at their life. If they're giving you advice and their life is a train wreck into a plane crash then as my (hard-working, self-made multi-millionaire) uncle would say, "take two steps backwards turn and run as fast as you can!". It's worked for me!

It might be better to make friends with fellow hustlers. People on their way up may be able to learn from each other and motivate each other.

I think we could reposition it to: Where to make the right growing partners.

I’ve been bootstrapping in the market, meeting with passionate workers to millionaires.

Of course, the beginning was not easy, i literally bulldozed my way, going events, forums and some time even volunteering in rotary to build network. As long as we continue to join events meeting different people, I’m sure one day we can meet the right partner for your business.

One thing is realised was to make connections with real Center of influence (COI). A rich and wealthy friend may not bring you business, likewise, someone who may not be rich, can bring you right networks to grow too.

So we got to be open and be patient. I believe you will eventually meet the group of people you want.

Who got good credit to co-sign with me. Split it to give you a guaranteed 10k. This is a student loan !! Therefore if ur not a student you can’t get it on your own you will need me. I will handle further monthly payments and all that to pay off. DM If interested in splitting money with me 🩵🩵

[–] AffectionateTry3172@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

you have to join clubs or go to galas. Take up golf but you need to join a country club to really get good chat so I would say the easiest is good galas. you get to sit with other people at a table and get to know them. Plus it's partially a tax write off.

Thank you for coming up with this question. The answer is only Wesley Virgin.He has been able to provide valuable insights and guidance on achieving financial success. Reprogramming our minds and changing our stories can indeed have a profound impact on our lives. It's empowering to know that we have the ability to create thoughts that generate positive feelings and ultimately lead to desired results. If anyone is interested in exploring this further, it may be worth considering Wesley Virgin's teachings as a potential resource. Wesley Virgin display his daily income of $100,000 to all his friends and always make detailed videos on how to make the money. I want you to watch only one video of his cash inflows and you will immediately fall in love.

In NY, especially Manhattan has the most billionaires in the US. Next, the eastern end of Long Island/Sag Harbor and surrounding harbors and beaches. Restaurants and resort clubs. But do you have social skills? Are you well educated? An excellent conversationalist? An interesting person in your own right? Do you “know stuff”? Not that I’m criticizing you without knowing you, but if you can’t contribute to anything interesting to another person who’s probably surrounded by highly accomplished and highly educated people, why should they talk to you, let alone let you into their graces or reveal any insights or “tips” to get rich?
Tip: Being a good golfer or tennis player could maybe, maybe help to spend some time with them.

Lol this is such a dumb way of analyzing how to “get rich”. Sorry, but it is pretty cringe and I’m not sure you should try to befriend rich people or fabricate your relationships for financial purposes.

Leave friends learn forex trading and start making money.

I think there are three main factors for success. Firstly, you need to have a network of contacts. Second, you need to be ready for anything. Third, you need to be at the best time. Once these three are ready, that's the way to success

[–] PositiveSpare8341@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I have met many wealthy people through my business. I'm in finance, they naturally show up. I started in banking. You get a quick idea who has money when you can see their balances. Ten years in and now being an entrepreneur, I talk to them daily.

[–] Whole-Grass-5934@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Nice gyms like equinox or anatomy

THE BEST IDEA I HEARD TODAY!!! ADOPT MY BROKE-POOR ASS TOO!! Wouldn’t that be ideal…

[–] Fanbids@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Silicon Valley Rich kid here, let me save you like 20 years of your life trying: it’s not worth it, most of “us” are bound together by common interests and do not like talking about work or business unless we’re in the same field. The only thing rich kids will pay more for the same product is going to be drugs and expensive alcohols.

Tip: rich kids like being friends with “normal” people of a lesser income class family, you just have to be yourself and be in depth about a topic the way we are (in this case I’ll use cars as an example) and no I don’t mean know what a huracan is.. like you know the diff between w 275 and 250 gto, or an f1 or p1. Sam’s logic applies to anything else. If you show passion in something you’ll attract the right people, the money and product comes way later. Stay away from promoting yourself if you want to be successful in these circles.

I hope we'll never be friends. Neither rich nor poor

That’s not really the way it works, wealthy people got past the point of having people in their social circle who are liabilities, cost them and/or serve no benefit at all. If you want rich friends be a useful and interesting person. Be able to stand on your own two feet. What do you bring to the table? If you bring nothing, you’re asking to basically be a leech. And if you’re looking to obtain wealth advice from a new friend, why? Why would they give it to you? So they find out the hard way how to make wealth so they can just hand you the blueprint for a nice easy road to wealth. What sacrifices have you made? What books have you read? I’m very wealthy and tbh this attitude infuriates me.

Live your life
