The Rich Have Friends
Ever notice that rich people have a lot of friends? They do. Lots of them. I’m not talking about friends that know them merely because they are rich. Im not talking about friends that are bought. I mean real friends.
Look at the richest people in America. Look at people down the block from you that make six figures a year. They all have lots of friends. Poor friends. Richer friends. Professional friends. Blue collar friends. All kinds, from all walks of life. They have friends in high places, friends in low places. Perhaps even friends in places most people would dare not look.
It doesn’t take a mathemetician to figure out that there’s a distinct correlation between number of friends a person has and their probable dollar net worth.
The rich have friends because they realize that it isn’t the little green bills that are important, it’s the people that handle them. It’s human beings that matter.
The poor usually don’t have many friends. And the ones they do are typically just like them. But the rich know the good life is blessed with a wide diversity of friends.
Don’t worry about clutching for that almighty dollar. Worry about reaching out to shake the hand of a new friend. Branch out and meet as many people as you can. Get to know their names, their faces, and what matters to them. Build your network. And in time, your finances will follow. Then you’ll be rich in material wealth and friends.
