[00:00 - 07:16] - Taking a Critical Look at Your Inner Circle
Building off last week's discussion on self-image, your core relationships shape your life
Jerome introduces the 2C Matrix - a tool to assess your top 5 relationships on capacity and contribution
Reflect on who you spend time with and what they expect from life - does it align with your goals?
[07:17 - 10:48] - Decoding the 2C Matrix to Understand Your Network
Jerome breaks down the 2C Matrix - capacity is one's ability to help you, contribution is active effort
Plot your 5 closest friends on the matrix based on their capacity and contribution
Most will rate lower on capacity - this is normal but not ideal
Strategize engaging "high capacity, low contribution" people to elevate the relationship
[10:49 - 13:31] - Elevating Your Circle to Reach New Heights
Help others succeed while also furthering your goals through reciprocity
Meaningful relationships require continuous evaluation and sometimes separation
Surround yourself with people who align with your dreams - elevation requires it
Key Quotes:
"Creating an environment where it's easy to actually do the thing that you plan to do … has a huge, and I mean, huge impact on your life.” - Jerome Myers
“The people that you spend the most time with, not the people, but the expectations of those people is what creates your life.” - Jerome Myers
