To Grow BIG, You Can’t Just Rely on Your Circle of Influence.

If you just watched my 2-minute video, welcome.

Now let me walk you through the full story—and the strategy that changed everything.

The Lesson That Took Me 25 Years to Fully Understand

When I started in business, people told me,

“Start with your Circle of Influence—your family, your friends, the people you already know.”

And that advice worked… in the beginning.

But here’s what nobody warned me about:

If you stay in your circle too long, you’ll stay small.

Real growth—the kind that builds multiple income streams and creates global impact—requires more.

The Stranger Who Changed My Life

It was a normal workday. Nothing special.

Until a man I’d never met walked into my workplace.

He didn’t know my background. He didn’t care where I was from.

All he saw was someone open to opportunity.

That 10-minute conversation turned into a business that changed my life.

Not a family member. Not a friend. A total stranger.

He introduced me to a system that created freedom—and helped me build income streams that have lasted for over 25 years.

That’s when I realized something powerful:

Your circle gives you confidence.

But strangers give you scale.

Why Your Circle Is a Good Start—but a Bad Finish

Let’s be honest.

Your Circle of Influence—your friends, relatives, coworkers—plays a role in your journey.

You can:

✅ Practice sharing your business

✅ Learn how to handle doubts and objections

✅ Build your first small wins

But here’s what happens after that:

❌ Your circle runs out

You know 100 to 200 people. That’s not enough to build lasting wealth.

❌ Your circle reflects your level

They likely think like you, earn like you, and doubt like you used to.

❌ Your circle keeps you comfortable

And comfort is the enemy of growth.

❌ Your circle sees your past

They remember who you were—not who you’re becoming.

The 2-Step Strategy That Builds Big Business

I call it the Circle + Strangers Model.

Step 1: Start with Your Circle

Use your warm market as your learning ground.

• Share your opportunity

• Get feedback

• Improve your confidence

• Make your first sales or signups

Step 2: Expand to Strangers

Go beyond who you know.

• Attend events and networking meetups

• Join online business groups and communities

• Build new relationships intentionally

• Focus on people who think bigger

This is where scale begins.

How to Connect with New People Without Being Pushy

The key to working with strangers is value-first relationships. Here’s how:

🔸 Go where open minds gather

Business events, online communities, seminars—these are filled with growth-minded people.

🔸 Ask before you tell

Instead of pitching your idea, start with a question. Get curious about others.

🔸 Share stories, not sales

Real stories connect. Results inspire. Be real.

🔸 Stay consistent

Meeting one new person a week = 52 potential breakthroughs in a year.

What Happens When You Combine Both?

When you start with your circle and grow with strangers, here’s what changes:

• You no longer rely on people who “kinda support you”

• You meet people who challenge you to think bigger

• You find markets and ideas your circle never knew about

• Your growth becomes unstoppable

• Your confidence transforms into influence

That’s exactly how I went from struggling… to leading teams in 65+ countries.

Final Truth: What Took Me Years to Learn

Your circle teaches you.

Strangers scale you.

You need both.

If you stop at your circle, you’ll stay in the shallow end of opportunity.

But when you step out and meet new people, your life, income, and mindset expand.

That stranger who walked into my life 25 years ago?

He showed me that the most powerful people in your future are the ones you haven’t met yet.

What You Should Do Next

If you’re just starting, great. Begin with the people you know.

But make a decision today: I won’t stop there.

• Meet new people.

• Join new conversations.

• Step into new environments.

• Tell your story with confidence.

Your future partner, mentor, investor—or breakthrough—might be one stranger away.

Have you ever had a stranger change your business or life?
