Build a High-Value Social Circle From Scratch
Let’s be honest—your life moves at the speed of your network.
If you’re constantly surrounded by low-value people, stuck at average events, and feel like you’re always on the outside looking in, it’s not because you lack potential—it’s because you lack a high-value social circle.
At Men of Action (MOA), we don’t teach you to beg for attention. We teach you how to build the kind of network that puts you at the center of every room—from scratch. Whether you just moved to a new city or you’re rebuilding after cutting off low-level connections, here’s exactly how to create a high-status social circle that elevates every area of your life.
1. First Rule: Start With Value, Not Neediness
Most guys approach networking the wrong way—they ask for access before offering value.
That’s why they get ignored.
The difference:
“Can I come to this event?” → Low-status
“I’d love to bring a few great people to this event—who should I talk to?” → High-status
How to lead with value:
Connect others before asking for favors
Compliment someone’s work, then amplify it
Offer your skills, platform, or energy in a way that benefits the social circle
Michael Sartain didn’t wait for doors to open—he built value that made people open them for him.
MOA Rule: You don’t get access by asking—you earn it by offering.
2. Go Where High-Value People Go
You can't build a high-value social circle at low-value spots.
If you’re hanging out at dive bars or wasting time with broke friends who complain about life, you’re starting behind the curve.
High-leverage places to start showing up:
Industry mixers & professional networking events
Charity galas, fundraisers, and art showings
Boutique gyms, private clubs, entrepreneurship communities
High-end coffee shops in wealth hubs
Rapid Networking Tip:
Start conversations by observing, complimenting, and connecting. Don’t pitch. Don’t fanboy. Just engage.
MOA Rule: Be where the winners are—and act like you already belong.
3. Start Hosting (Even If It’s Small)
Hosting is one of the fastest ways to build authority in a social circle—even if your event is just dinner for four.
Why hosting wins:
You become the connector—people remember who invited them
You set the tone and energy of the group
You attract high-value people who respect leadership
How to host like a pro:
Start with curated dinners: 4–6 people with shared values
Add value by connecting the right personalities
Document it (subtly) to create social proof online

MOA Rule: You don’t wait for the invite—you create the room.
4. Leverage Instagram as a Social Amplifier
Your IG is more than a highlight reel—it’s your digital proof of social status.
What a high-value IG shows:
You’re around other high-status individuals
You’re part of interesting, exclusive environments
You live a life of movement, purpose, and connection
Rapid Strategy:
Use stories and posts to subtly showcase your growing social circle—don’t flex, just document.
MOA Rule: If your IG isn’t attracting high-status people, it’s repelling them. Fix it fast.
5. Use This 3-Part Networking Strategy to Accelerate Results
1. Connect Up – DM or approach people just above your current status level. Start small and build upward.
2. Connect Laterally – Build with people who are at your level but hungry to grow. Move together.
3. Connect Down (Strategically) – Help others level up when it adds value to the group.
Bonus Power Move:
Create a group chat or private event to keep these relationships active. Consistency beats one-off interactions every time.
MOA Rule: Your network multiplies when you manage it with intention.
Final Thoughts: Your Circle Builds or Breaks Your Status
If your current social circle isn’t pushing you forward, it’s holding you back.
And if you're starting from scratch? Good. That means you can build it right this time.

Show up where high-status people gather
Host, document, and elevate others
