Key Takeaways
Perform the '$10 Million Exercise' to define specifically how your life would change with wealth; most people realize their ideal lifestyle is achievable with significantly less capital than they assumed.
Utilize the N-I-C-K method (Name tags, Intros, Cocktails only, Kick them out) to host structured two-hour events that build social capital and professional networks with minimal overhead.
Build a 'surface area for serendipity' by maintaining a public blog about your niche interests, which allows high-status individuals and experts to find and connect with you directly.
