Renowned life coach Tony Robbins once wisely remarked, "Proximity is power." This adage holds particularly true on your journey to achieving Financial Independence.

The people you surround yourself with can profoundly impact your success. This principle extends to all facets of your life:

• Real estate investing

• Business building

• Faith or religion

• Fitness, etc.

Your associates significantly influence your habits and attitudes, and ultimately, your life!

If you're in the company of ambitious, goal-oriented individuals, you're likely to adopt a similar mindset and drive.

Conversely, if you find yourself surrounded by complainers, those who shy away from risks or belittle others for their ambition, you risk adopting their negative traits. The key to personal growth is aligning yourself with those you aspire to be like.

Today, I want to share some valuable insights on harnessing the power of proximity:

1. Choose your inner circle carefully

My life took a transformative turn when I became a part of GoBundance.

This community introduced me to opportunities and people I could never have imagined. I made a conscious effort to associate with like-minded people once I realized this world existed.

I was worth $25,000 but flying on private jets with millionaires. This exposed me to the world of wealth and what it was like to be one of them.

Surrounding myself with these people catapulted my financial freedom journey.

Seek out those who share your ambition – those who aspire to house hack, those eager to conquer a 48-unit apartment building, those building businesses, or whatever type of real estate you are interested in.

Seek out both the people who are in a similar situation as you—trying to grow, and those who have done it before.

2. Clarity in your objectives

Precisely define your personal and financial goals.

Your objectives will guide your actions. In my early to mid-20s, my primary goal was achieving financial freedom at the earliest opportunity. While the journey took time, my clear objective directed all my efforts towards this goal.

Without a well-defined objective, I would have meandered in a different direction. Be resolute in your purpose.

It’s easy to get distracted with shiny object syndrome. There are so many ways to make money in real estate that it’s easy to get distracted.

But the real way to make money in real estate is to master a specific niche to give you an advantage and outperform the market.

3. Learn from the masters

Success leaves clues.

Some millionaires may have taken a decade to amass their wealth, but by learning from their experiences, their advice, their missteps, and their triumphs, I expedited my journey to becoming a millionaire.

Find mentors, just as I did.

You'll encounter them by following steps 1 and 2. Attend local real estate or business meet-ups, tune into podcasts, and engage with them on social media.

Make it known that you're a real estate investor in search of a community, as others can help you discover it.

4. Act on their wisdom

Simply being around influential people won't guarantee your success.

It's essential to act upon their advice and guidance. When someone you admire provides you with an action item, like to read a specific book, listening to a podcast, or taking specific steps, you must follow through.

During my time with the GoBundance community, I soaked up their insights like a sponge and put their advice into practice. The more I acted on their recommendations, the more they were willing to mentor me, connect me with influential contacts, and present unforeseen opportunities.

In closing, remember that proximity to the right people can be the catalyst for your journey to Financial Independence. Embrace the power of surrounding yourself with those who inspire and support your goals.

Until next time. 🚀
