Social Capital: The Currency Of The New Rich

This is the thing I was talking about... social capital will be the real key to success in 2025. It's about you, the leader.

It’s not about having a ton of money—it’s about building a reputation with people who value your work. Focus on getting your work seen, building trust, and solving real problems so you can create something meaningful without needing gatekeepers.

Start small, share your passions and the opportunities will follow. Check out the full article by clicking here. It's both an excellent and critical read for you.

Update To My Personal Hub 📢

As part of examining and expanding my own social capital, I had my personal hub or website redone. You can check it out here: iamjimmiller.com​

It was a combination of my doing some content and basic WordPress editing and also hiring a dude in Pakistan using Fiverr. For $200 he did an overhaul worth $10k; mostly aesthetics. 🤯
​
P.S. - Reach out if you want more info on that.

P.P.S. - New photos are coming in early 2025 but it's good enough for now.

So for me and raising my social capital, I am much more active on LinkedIn. I launched my updated hub. I'm doing more speaking and podcast guesting such as this one on The Daily Author that was released last week and talks about my personal finance book. (A great stocking stuffer, btw) 🎁

These are just a few of the things I am doing to increase my social capital and presence. There is a lot more going on for me that I won't reveal here, but hopefully this gives you some ideas and inspiration.

And don't worry about perfection! Just get yourself out there! 🚀

Top Articles

Here are the top three news articles from the last thirty days to help you:

​

Here's $500. 🎁 Seriously.

No downside to this one. The card platform that we use with most of our clients is Ramp. It replaces your expensive and dusty corporate cards (i.e. - AMEX, Citi, Chase, etc.) and gives you everything you need to level up... for free. ✅

It's truly free for the core items which is more than sufficient for most businesses. They have more enterprise and premium features for a nominal price but most of our clients are all set on the free model.

Click the image below or use this link to get a $500 bonus just for trying them out. It doesn't hit your credit to apply or anything like that either.

I hope you and your business are genuinely stronger after implementing some of this. If you have questions, just reply to this email or reach out to me on social media.

Your Friend and Fan,

P.S. - If your business is nearing or past that $2m revenue threshold, not having a CFO will likely slow your growth. And an experienced full-time CFO will be $300k+ per year. Instead, you can hire a fractional CFO for a fraction of the price and get the same results. I happen to know a few. Click here to explore.
