Yesterday, I generated a photo of myself standing with the Justice League.

At first, it’s just a fun image, but it got me thinking. Every hero in that lineup has their own unique ability, but none of them could take on the world alone. Their real power comes from combining strengths, leaning on each other, and showing up as a team.

That’s precisely how networking works.

One conversation can open a door. One introduction can collapse years of struggle into a single opportunity. One person can shift the entire trajectory of your business or your life.

I learned this early on from one of my mentors, Jim Rohn. He taught me not to obsess over what I could get from an environment, but to constantly ask, “What am I becoming here?” That single shift changes how you see every job, every partnership, every connection.

It’s not just about extracting value; it’s about transforming into someone who creates value. And who you surround yourself with accelerates (or sabotages) that process.

Jim also reminded me that you’re the average of the five people you spend the most time with. Think about that. Your network is not neutral. It’s either pulling you forward or holding you back.

That’s why finding your “Justice League” matters. The right network doesn’t just add opportunities; it multiplies who you’re becoming. They challenge your comfort zones. They stretch your thinking. They help you see possibilities you’d miss on your own.

And when you zoom out, success is rarely about doing everything faster or smarter. It’s about being in the right rooms, with the right people, having the right conversations, and letting those relationships shape you into the person capable of achieving your goals.

Takeaway for You

The right relationship at the right time can be worth more than years of solo effort.

So if you’re serious about growth, stop trying to “do it all” alone. Build your league. Invest in relationships. Surround yourself with people who see your potential and push you to rise into it.

Because in the end, your greatest superpower isn’t speed, strength, or strategy.

It’s the people you choose to stand beside, and who they help you become in the process.
