Summary
Is your current friend group pushing you forward or holding you back? The honest answer to this question and subsequent action can be one of the toughest things you ever do but is necessary to fulfill your true potential. From a tribe and evolutionary psychology perspective, it's incredibly painful to potentially distance yourself or leave the herd that we have been accepted by and that we trust. However, regret is even more painful. Listen in as we discuss our own perspective on friendships, share a powerful story, and explain the habits of the 3 groups and find out which one you are in.

| 0:00.0 | What's up guys? Welcome back. Aaron and I here today with an episode that is near and dear to our hearts. |
| 0:05.3 | And it's the idea of we want to give you guys some frameworks and some perspective on how to level up your network and your friend group. |
| 0:11.6 | And this is such an important part of, you know, growing in as an individual and growing your business and growing your income and just being more happy. |
| 0:20.1 | You know, community has been ranked |
| 0:21.7 | as one of the highest predeterminate things in terms of happiness around the world, like for fucking ever. |
| 0:27.6 | And this is an idea here that is really near to us, like I said, because here as of like the past |
| 0:31.6 | year, I would say, or year and a half, Aaron and I have been really intentional with just this. |
| 0:35.3 | And yeah, and a lot of people will ask us, you know, |
| 0:38.0 | how do you make friends? How have you made so many friends? And I think one part that's important |
| 0:42.2 | to highlight is you're going to go through a period that's going to suck. You're going to go |
| 0:46.5 | through a period where you have to kind of disconnect from everyone that you don't want to be |
| 0:49.6 | friends with anymore who aren't adding value to your life. You're going to be lonely and you're not going to have friends for a little while and you're going to use that time to develop yourself to be |
| 0:58.2 | the person who fits in with the kind of people that you want to be friends with. Yeah, man, |
| 1:02.4 | this comes down to knowing your worth. And there's a thing that we do with an IFCA where sometimes |
| 1:07.3 | we'll get students in who they have an offer together and they're hesitant to charge |
| 1:11.7 | like an appropriate amount and rather than just saying well just charge more it's like okay step back |
| 1:15.9 | why is your offer not worth the amount that you can charge to actually run a business to actually have |
| 1:21.0 | enough profit margin to be able to scale and to be able to like be happy and like live and that's how |
| 1:25.7 | you have to operate on that you have to go and back you take step back and work on the offer, make it worth that. So just like with yourself, |
| 1:31.9 | you've got to take a step back and make yourself worth the value that you know that you can |
| 1:36.1 | add something to a friend group that's actually amicable. That's true. That's a big reason that |
| 1:40.3 | it holds a lot of people back from reaching out. I know I was that way for a really long time. Yeah. We, I feel like we've talked about Amanda and John on every podcast recently. |
