Eric Siu explains how peer groups accelerate wealth if you join intentionally. Pick members at your level or above, set clear goals for what you want, and quit if the group doesn't deliver. He cites a friend in an investor group with a major automotive company chairman.

Peer groups will make you rich, but there's a caveat here, right? I'm in a lot of these different groups, right? Peer groups work for you, but you have to understand what it is that you're looking to get out of the group, right? So for you, you want people ideally at the very least at your level or levels above you because you're looking to grow.
