7. The 33% Rule: How Your Network Impacts Your Growth
The 33% rule states that 33% of your time should be spent with mentors (people that challenge you), 33% with your peers (those on the same level as you), and 33% with people that you can mentor and guide.

The idea was created by Tai Lopez, a TED speaker and creator of some famously annoying YouTube videos in which he shows off his incredible wealth. I don’t normally take advice from Lamborghini drivers, but in this case, I think Lopez may be on to something. I'm a firm believer in your network is your net worth, and this rule has been at work in my life without me even realizing it. It has helped me bear so many fruits and I thought, why not share this with you?

Here’s what you can expect:

• How the 33% rule has helped me in my everyday interactions
• Why do you need to start assessing your circle of friends and network
• How to build healthier relationships with people you respect and honor
• Should you invest in mentorship?
• Five things you can try to implement the 33% rule.
  • Ask yourself the hard questions about the people you surround yourself with
  • Write down your values and pray over them - ask God to bring the right people your way
  • Create space for God to bless you. Whatever that looks like for you eg: spend more time in prayer, ask people you trust for advice
  • Write down a few things you want to achieve and think of the people you will need to help you get there. This will help you assess the type of character you want around you
  • Pray. Pray!
