Within 23-30, you need friends with actual capacity. Even in distress, they turn up with solutions.
Some of you have too many friends that cannot help you with knowledge, ideas, money, strategy, PR, or anything concrete. Just reposting your pictures and captioning “Hey Boo😍”.

Look at it this way: if you needed an answer to a question so badly, who would you call? If you were arrested right now and you need to call a friend, who can ACTUALLY help? I don’t mean helping you scream.
If you were driving and you hit someone, who would you call?

You need solid friends. It can start from just mere connections/acquaintances but build them into friends. Have different kinds of people in your circle. I don’t care if it’s a police officer, a doctor, a lawyer, a business man, whichever brand of persons. Build connections
The ages of 23 down to 30 is not the time to form cliques with people who share about the same quality of capacity. No.
If you don’t have money yet, have valuable people in your circle. That is your strongest currency. Some have brilliant ideas and add you up; some lay plans

Some others provide financial support. Some have depth of knowledge. You can’t be moving with monochromatic cliques except of course y’all have it all figured out already.
Young people climb faster when they have absolutely amazing people with incredible sets of skills/capacity

And I don’t just mean random WhatsApp connections whose statuses you view till doomsday. Have frequent interactions as much as your schedule allows.
Young people are passionate, fiery and ambitious especially in that age bracket. They want to achieve. They can sparkle you!

Friends have recommended me for jobs worth over hundred thousands.
When you realise that you and your small clique of similarly minded people do know so much and cannot provide so much, you’ll diversify. Life is hard o. If you don’t have people with capacity, you’ll be crushed.

It may look mechanical but you’re not a teenager anymore. Friendships at these ages are strategic and thought-out. This is not the time to be keeping 100 friends all of whose shoulders you lean on when you have relationship issues. Go and get a partner and that’s enough.
This is the time for methodical relationships.
I say it again, nothing grows young people (apart from raw hard cash) than the wide range of capable friends that they keep. Nothing.

Forget motivational quotes and what your spirit tells you, ask yourself “what am I really worth?”
You can’t live your entire 20-30 year period being worth only “potentials”.
