I was coming up with some ideas for other young guys in this group to meet other like-minded guys and save money while on their personal development and entrepreneurial journey. If your someone who’s young and isn’t rich, and is on a small budget, you need to learn how to have fun without spending money or spending very little money while your on this personal development/entrepreneurial journey.
You don’t necessarily need to be a loner while you’re on this personal development and entrepreneurial journey. Many times guys nowadays have this “lone wolf” mentality, and for the longest time, so did I. But networking and finding the right people to be around is important, and so is saving money, especially in our economy. Take some of that money that you save and invest in yourself. Here’s some ideas:
-Find some cool like-minded guys in your local area that you meet through this forum, or social media, or in-person who are in MOA, or who are thinking of joining MOA, or just like-minded guys in general, and become roommates with them to save money on rent and utilities. Even guys like Stirling Cooper and Justin Waller, who are already rich, successful, and high-status are still living together as roommates. I remember they were talking about it before on YouTube. Just look up “stirling cooper wine night AMA” on YouTube and you should find videos with them. Stirling Cooper also has a good video about why finding like-minded guys and having a tribe is important - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GIhJH6oopWo Even Michael Sartain has said that he has had roommates for the longest time and he’s also already rich, successful, and high-status. In this economy and the way the cost of living is right now, most young Americans are gonna need to find roommates for more cost-effective living. It is what it is.
-Go to public parks and go shoot hoops, 🏀play football, 🏈or put on some boxing🥊 or MMA gloves and do some sparring or grappling with each other at the park or in a backyard to practice your fighting skills instead of spending money on expensive MMA gyms. I’ve done some sparring with some guys at public parks before, and no one really cares if you’re sparring. The park is free. Look up different videos for free on YouTube covering MMA, self-defense, practice drills, or other fighting techniques to practice with each other.
-Go weightlifting with each other and spot each other at the gym to save money instead of spending it on some expensive personal trainer. 🏋🏽 Hold each other accountable and help each other with nutrition and counting calories.
-If you don’t have female friends yet, and if you do decide to go out to nightclubs once in a while to practice making female friends, go by yourself to the club and not with a bunch of other dudes, and go there with a ring light and practice the ring light technique that Michael Sartain, and others in this forum have talked about. Don’t spend any money on those overpriced and watered down drinks at the bar in these clubs. Instead, just ask the bartender for some club soda and save your money.
I know a lot of young people in my generation or younger have forgotten how to have fun and meet other people without spending a bunch of money. They go out and spend a bunch of money on a bunch of overpriced drinks or other overpriced stuff instead of using their imagination and resourcefulness to learn how to have fun and meet people when they’re starting out on their journey without breaking the bank. Find other like-minded guys on a similar path and journey as you and help each other save money, and be each other’s accountability partners.
What are some other ideas you guys have for meeting people and having fun while on a smaller budget on your personal development and entrepreneurial journey? Let’s brainstorm.
