If one is keeping to his looser buddies and waiting for financial break-through, as gate opening catalyzer , to join a new circle of people, that's bad/dumb strategy.
To be fair, start making lots and your mates and going to start asking for hand outs, so moving to rich people that don't want money might be better.
I absolutely agree & your addition fits well to what i wrote. (especially about general audiences & the fat/stuck valet trick is nice as well ) Yet he wrote : Generally when people make a breakthrough they stop hanging out with their loser buddies and start hanging out with other go getters. & the thing is, financial break-trough , doesn't have to be a point, where you drop your loser buddies. You can do that loooong before, you start smelling financial freedom. Why to waste the time for losers anyway, unless the value of one friendships is measured by financial success of his/her friends & in such case, well... , Theres much more factors/human-character values, that i measure by, the importance of my friendships. Next, one can get into the circles of go-getters, again, long before he has a financial success. Not into each circle ofcourse, but if thou is creative, has something else than finances , to bring on the table, communication skills, then more often than not - the doors might be open to join the groups like that.
I'll setup a weekly allowance for loser friends they havent got to ask then, generally find rich people to be pricks and boring so screw that.
