Are you doing business with your friends? Most people would tell you not to, but I'm gonna give you a different perspective. I feel like if you don't have friends that you can do business with, you need new friends. You need people who are abundant minded, who aren't looking to grab for all the marbles. We're here to make more marbles, as the channel is called. You need to find people who understand that everybody needs things and that wealth is not something to be allergic to and that you want your friends to win. In fact, I'm friends with all my business partners, even the ones I don't do business with anymore, because friendship is important, but business is too. So find a way to combine those and find a way to be friends with people who you can do business, who have that same mindset, who want to grow, who want to support you and want to create something bigger together. Because guess what? You can't do it alone. And there's plenty of problems out there that need solving. So if you can get your friend group together to do deals, to start businesses, to work on things together, you may be afraid you'll lose a friend or two, and that can happen. But at the end of the day, you're going to be much better for it. So upgrade your friends, your deals, your life. Follow me here for more.
