Have any of you found winners in life to surround yourself with?

My experience is that losers look at professional relationships as “what can I get out of this person” or “what can this person do for me?” Whereas winners tend to look at fostering relationships that facilitate the success of both parties.

The crab barrel. You will never escape it because the other will fight HARD to drag you back down.

I am surrounded by winners.

When I was in school, I looked specifically for the smart, hard-working people who did not engage in hedonism that you just knew were gonna be successful someday. And success simply means growing up and not being dependent on your parents/beta bux.

A lot of smart, hard-working people are lonely. Just listening to what they have to say and trying to understand what they talk about will, pretty much, instantly win them over as friends.

One of the main reasons I visit r/MGTOW is because everyone here is a winner, as proven by the fact that everyone here is working toward at least one or more of the positive goals you describe in the OP text (or other positive goals not included in OP). Reading all these stories is inspiring. It has already encouraged me to set new goals, work toward those goals, and achieve some of them. Valuable place, especially considering the low membership cost!

Nope. I was just thinking about it the other day actually, I think the reason I'm successful is because I don't surround myself with anyone at all. I had to leave everyone behind.

I spent 40+ years in Freemasonry. It is a good orginization. I enjoyed associating with the men who were members. All different walks of life. All different stages of life. All different problems each was working through. It's not perfect and not for everyone but I've never known anyone who was hurt by exposing themselves to the three degrees and the lessons contained therein. (insert lots of stories here, TL/DR) I've met a lot of good men. I'm not here to sell anything, just answering your question.

Friend makes a lot of money and realized how much time and money he spent on his girlfriend that was useless. Dumped her and bought a taco truck with his saved money that another of his friends run.

Just myself. Huzzah!!

I did my MBA at a top school. They are positive to the point of being Polly-Annas, but most of them are winning at life.

One guy got into bitcoin, made 5 mill. Another started a food company, makes $30k/month. Another guy works for Gates foundation.

Last time I was surrounded by winners was at the county fair in the hall of mirrors...-:)

Seriously it is good to have mentors who are slightly older, slightly wise, slightly more successful and more wealthy as you learn the ropes.

I’m doing much better at it at least

As with many men, my pool of friends has shrunk over the years. I will say the ones I keep around I would consider winners, though many not in a traditional sense. If I define winners as people I respect, who are leading lives they chose in the manor of their choosing, who don't take more than they give, who improve my life with thier effort and input, yes, I think I surround myself with winners.
