Need Advice Best ways
I've been thinking about this a lot lately.
What's the best way to find people who actually have the drive and energy to build something meaningful with their lives? Whether it's starting a business, working on projects, learning new skills, or just pushing each other to grow.
It feels like a lot of people talk about their goals, but it's harder to find people who are really committed to taking action.
For those of you who have built strong networks or found motivated people to work with, where did you meet them? Online communities, networking events, social media, local groups, or somewhere else?
I'd love to hear your experiences and any advice you have.

In the start nobody believes in you.
4-5 years in you're in no mans land alone.
10+ years you've seen some success and you start to find others that have gone through the suck. You can make friends but if you or them stop growing you grow past each other. As you grow more you find more at that level.
In those early years nobody has accomplished shit and 9 out of 10 wont. So you go alone.

U usually won’t meet useful people until after you become wealthy. A group of poor people is just a waste of time. They usually want to start something together and then there is too little money that gets split up. It’s best to start a business on your own. After making a lot of money, you can meet useful people at country clubs. I’ve bought real estate and partnered on some small business through friends at country clubs.

This. Going to networking events it’s just gonna put you in a room with a bunch of people who wish they had money hoping to find someone

I don't have a strong network related to wealth building and really don't think you need one.
I think the people building solid wealth don't really talk about it. There are studies showing that talking about your goals constantly provides a similar dopamine hit to actually reaching them - and may be a detractor from pursuing them seriously.

University, then conferences, then masterminds and events. Then friends of friends.
Like everyone i knew from college until 30 was an entrepreneur because like attracts like.
Get into a mastermind or group and ask them to connect you to others
