⏱️millionaireME Minute | Who You Know Matters More Than What You Know
Most people think success is about what you know.
The second chapter of the gospel of Mark suggests it’s just as much about who know…
Or better yet, who you’re with and who’s with you.
The story goes like this...
A paralyzed man couldn’t walk, couldn’t work, couldn’t “optimize his strategy.”
All he had was:
✅ Faith
✅ And a few friends
That’s it.
But not just any friends.
Spectacular friends.
Barrier breaking friends.
When the door was blocked…
The man’s friends didn’t dally, debate, or retreat.
They climbed.
They literally tore through the roof.
Then they lowered their friend directly to the One who could heal their friend.
What’s easy to miss, however, is that a second group was present as well.
At best, a group of individuals: perfectionists, naysayers, and judgy do-nothings.
If they were in a modern elevator together, they’d be
just another self-absorbed, all-to-themselves group.
But that first group we discussed?
They were anything but ordinary.
They were like an elevator of claustrophobes stuck between floors!
Which made them a TEAM.
Which brings me to your circle of friends…
To borrow from the stories above, do they:
• Sit there and complain?
• Analyze the situation endlessly?
• Or start working together to get unstuck?
In Mark 2, both “elevators” were present.
One group carried.
The other group criticized.
Same building.
Same moment.
Completely different outcomes.
Here’s the takeaway for high earners:
You don’t lack information.
You either have—or don’t have—the right crew.
Because:
👉 A group gives you company
👉 A team creates lift
And sometimes…carries you when you can’t move yourself.
Three quick gut-checks:
1. Who’s in your elevator?
When things stall, do they lift—or linger?
2. Who are your roof-breakers?
The ones who move when others hesitate?
3. Are you carrying anyone?
Because real teams don’t just ride together…they rise together.
Most HENRYs don’t stall from lack of income.
They stall from being surrounded by people who:
• Think small
• Wait long
• And call it wisdom
You don’t need a bigger elevator.
👉 You need a better crew.
The kind that, when things get stuck…
doesn’t sit there.
They break through the roof. 🐷🚀
Hopefully, this resonates.
Because that’s what’s going on inside millionaireME—where we don’t just ride together…
We raise the roof together. 🙌
And, together, get the important things done.
