I Dropped My Old Friends, Then Got Rich

I’ll show you why and how I dropped my old friends so you can do it too.

Because if you feel stuck in life, it’s most likely because of the people around you, and you probably don’t know how to drop them..

And I fully believe that if someone isn’t contributing to your life in a crazy positive way, you should drop them.

When I dropped all the bums I was hanging around, my life changed.

I started my business, started making actual money, had better people coming to me and just started feeling so much better too.

When I was in grade 11 I was listening to this over a podcast, and at this point I was ready to listen to anyone who was achieving the goals I wanted to hit. Everyone from Tate to Grant Mitt, and Ed Mylett.

And they’d all mention that the people around you is the most important thing to your success and life trajectory.

I wont dive too deep on this because you probably already know this and have heard it 100 times.

But I will tell you what happened the first 3 months after I really dropped all the shitters around me.

After my first year in business I had gotten rid of everyone who was bad for me. From a childhood best friend to people who were working with me in my business.

And there’s 1 way to go about dropping them.

(Obviously theres a million ways but) this is how I went about It.

You just act busy…

When I committed to this (and we will talk about committing in a second) I didn’t announce it to everyone or do anything crazy.

I just did this.

I stopped asking them to go out, and whenever they asked me to go out with them I just said that I was working.

Because what is someone supposed to say to you when you’re working.

“stop working”

“No way”

And after they’d ask and I tell them that I’m working I just say the same thing time after time. And after like 3-4 times they just stop asking you and go out with others.

That’s honestly how I went about getting away from all the old friends.

Because it doesn’t help you nor does it help them by being around them when you both want different things from life.

And during this period all I’d do is either literally just read books or try and get around better people.

And what I’d recommend for getting around better people is go to events. Go on Event Bright or google and search for free events about money or whatever your main focus is.

Thats what I did and what you need to do as well. Because you’ll instantly be around better people and also older people with more experience.

It doesn’t really matter if you become friends with them or not, the only thing that matters in the beginning is getting around these people, because it will show you that it is possible, and if you talk to them it can also give you ideas or even they can give some advice.

The main thing about about getting away from low value friends is the programming you lose.

So by you getting away from them you’ll lose the time with them and the activities which will give you more time to think about what you wanna do and you’ll lose the habits you shared with them previously.

If you have something you’re working on then you need to spend that extra time and effort you had with your friends and spend it on that business or whatever your main focus is.

If you have nothing then you need to either buy BluePrint and commit yourself to it or spend some time figuring something new out.

If you want extra help with committing yourself to something, watch this after you’re done reading: Motivation

And another thing I did to get better friends in school was this. So I’m very perspicacious, whenever I think someone is going in a good direction and overall is a good person, I’d just introduce myself to them and talk a bit about their goals.

Like “what are you planning after school is over?” or “are you working on anything exciting?” Things like that, because when you’re interested in someone, you instantly become interesting and someone that others wanna be around.

And then just work with these people, talk to them about goals, advice and overall just do things together that get you closer to your end goal.

Hopefully this helps you with either getting away from the people you know you shouldn’t be around and also getting around better people so you can get closer to your goals faster.

Thank you for reading, enjoy your day 🙂
