Join a Tribe

The strength of person largely depends on the Group that he or she is attached with. Your Salary is in fact the average Salary of those 5 people with whom you hang out with. If you are doing well, then credit it to the group, if you are not doing well, then again, credit it to the group that you hang out with.

Making wealth depends more on the Mind set. And Mind set is influenced by the people you hang out with. If your girl friend proposes a Vacation to Milan, and if your answer would be, “oh!, I just couldn’t afford it”, then you have the Mindset of a Poor and Broke man.

Please don’t get us wrong, there is nothing wrong in being Poor and Broke, the only problem is, the world that we live in, treats the Poor and the Broke, with utter contempt and hate. So much so, even his own relatives would avoid him like the Black plague.

Don’t believe us, then try an Experiment. Try walking into a fairly respectable Restaurant dressed to portray a Poor and a Broke man. Then observe the way you get treated. Foremost, there is a very high likelihood of you being stopped right at the gate. But, if you manage to enter, then you would be led into the worse possible corner of the building and shown a seat there. However, from there on from the service treatments that you shall receive there, you will know what humans are made off and more so, the importance of the Education that we are giving in here.

We had to tell all that just to make the point that the only difference between Hemlock [ Poison that Socrates was administered] and Poverty is, Hemlock kills instantly, while Poverty humiliates a person to the edge and then kills.

Change your Reply

Now coming back to our story. Now instead of giving that reply to your girlfriend who has wanted you to take her to Milan, for the Summer, had you altered the reply as ” Sure, we shall go, but, how could we make it happen?”

There are a lot of difference in both these statements, which we would discuss in the succeeding posts. But for now we would merely give the analysis of the mindset from which these replies erupted from.

It is imperative to learn here that the replies that you gave were already preconditioned in your Mind, long before your girlfriend had made the request.

That is to mean, your tribe will dictate your reactionary behaviors to issues and challenges and more so to opportunities arising.

Imagine, you see a Contract opportunities posted by a leading company, requiring services for cleaning their floors. The Application form requires a guarantee of $20,000 and you don’t have it.

If you have a Strong Tribe backing you, then the Tribe would come forward in making the guarantee. Of course, this is given the fact that the members of the Tribe share the concept that, Life is Sweeter only when Wealth and Prosperity abounds, so the goal of every individual is to seek Wealth and Independence. When you are with a Tribe like that, you will no Never go Wrong.

Conclusion

Join clubs and organizations which have the motto that we had discussed. Interact with them on weekends and on holidays. Learn from them. Stay humble, and for sure, when you pass their initiation, you will be absorbed in.

Remember, the distance that you travel in life depends on the people with whom you associate with. If you associate with Alcoholics, you will be considered an Alcoholic, whether you drink or not.

Similarly, if you associate yourself with the Rich and Successful, you will be considered, Rich and Successful, whether True or Not. The idea is, Fake it till you Make it.
