The Room That Changes Everything
I’ve been in this game long enough to see one pattern repeat over and over again:
The fastest growth doesn’t come from another course, or from “figuring it out on your own.”
It comes from proximity.
Being in the right room — with people who think bigger, move faster, and solve problems you didn’t even know existed.
That’s what last week’s event reminded me of again.
Let’s dig in.
4 Thoughts to Reflect On
1. Rooms build momentum.
When you’re around winners, the energy is contagious. Everyone’s executing, and it forces you to raise your own standards.
2. The right people make hard things simple.
What might take you 3 months to figure out alone can be solved in 3 minutes by someone who’s already done it.
3. Access beats effort.
It’s not always about grinding harder. It’s about knowing who to call when the next move isn’t clear.
4. The room you’re in is the mirror of your results.
If you’re surrounded by small thinkers, your goals start shrinking too.
4 Lessons I’ve Learned
1. Success travels through conversation.
Every major opportunity I’ve had started with a single conversation. Someone introduced me to the right person, or gave me a perspective I couldn’t see.
2. Giving value opens more doors than chasing them.
That consultant didn’t pitch, she shared knowledge that helped others win. That’s why everyone lined up to work with her.
3. High-level rooms filter out the noise.
No complainers. No tire-kickers. Just people who want results and are willing to move.
4. Relationships compound faster than money.
A single introduction can multiply your business more than a year of cold calls ever could.
4 Challenges for You This Week
1. Audit your current circle.
Are the people you talk to daily helping you grow or keeping you stuck? Be honest.
2. Reach out to one person doing what you want to do.
Ask for advice, not a handout. Start building real relationships.
3. Share value without asking for anything back.
Give first. Solve someone’s problem this week and see what happens.
4. Find a room that challenges you.
If you’re the smartest or richest person in your group, you’ve already outgrown it.

If you’re ready to stop trying to figure it out alone and start getting around people who can help you scale faster, this is your sign.
I built the Deal Maker Alliance for that exact reason, to get serious business owners in the right room, at the right time, with the right people.
Because when you get around winners, you don’t have to force growth.
It just happens.
