Build a circle that multiplies your success
When Marisol decided to scale her craft business to six figures, she realized her solo hustle was slowing her down. She’d shop for supplies alone, pack odd-jobs by lunch, and promote on nights and weekends. Still, her sales crept forward at a snail’s pace. That’s when she committed to building her Million Dollar Squad. She listed five friends whose success she admired: a social media strategist, a product photographer, a funding expert, a private chef, and a software engineer.
She hosted a virtual coffee date, and they agreed to swap lessons monthly: he’d trouble-shoot her website, she’d share her marketing calendar, and they’d cheer each other on during price negotiations. When she needed a quick product shoot, she turned to her photographer friend, who offered a discount. When she fretted about her bookkeeping, her funding ally recalculated her monthly targets. Together, they turned one-off breakthroughs into sustainable growth.
Marisol’s revenue doubled in six months—proof that confident entrepreneurs don’t sprint alone; they rise on a team’s collective strength. What once felt like isolated slogging turned into a shared climb. And every celebration felt sweeter because she had people who truly got it.
You can create your own “Pamily” or peer crew—people who see your worth, hold you accountable, and spark your next big leap.
Zoom doesn’t care if you’re in sweatpants; it just wants you to show up. So reach out to three people you trust, set a recurring video date, and start sharing goals. Show up each month ready to celebrate wins and troubleshoot challenges. You’ll be amazed how fast your success multiplies.
