Community As a Form of Wealth

A gorgeous life demands strong and rich connections with other human beings. To me, family is top. So important. And I adore my friends (and my readers and my teammates etc.). To be surrounded by good, kind, interesting and cool people makes the ride worth the ride.
My latest book “The Wealth Money Can’t Buy” is full of fresh ideas and original tools that I’m absolutely certain will cause quantum leaps in your positivity, productivity, wellness, and happiness. You can order it now by clicking here.
I deeply believe, and this has been my experience over 30 years teaching leadership, personal mastery, elite productivity, and how to handcraft an AWC, absolutely world-class life, that your community is a form of wealth. Releasing people who are toxic and inviting people who are inspirational and interesting and wise and good and fast and excellent and decent into your life is a form of wealth. Your social circle determines your net worth in many ways. It determines what you think is possible. I wrote a book many years ago called The Greatness Guide and in The Greatness Guide there was a chapter which was all about reference points. And all you need in your life, in your social circle, within your community are one or two reference points to show you what's possible. I've been blessed with some amazing reference points. people who show me what's possible and disrupt the status quo. I remember when I was in my 20s, most people, nine to five, they were at work. But one of my neighbors, three o'clock, as I'd walk by, coming back from university, going home, he would be in his backyard, sunbathing, reading magazines. And I said, like, who is this person? And I got to know him, and he became a mentor to me. And to this day, is still in my heart. One of my closest friends. We would go for long walks on the seaside while he'd walk his dogs. He would share insights with me. But that was a great example, this gentleman, of a reference point to show me, oh, it is possible at three in the afternoon not to be working. And then he helped me understand how he did it. A little later in my 20s, after I got my law degree, and I articled, I was blessed to be invited to be the law clerk for a chief justice. And he was an incredible reference point about integrity and mastery and discipline and what a true leader looks like. And that experience had such a profound effect on me.
