Look, I’m going to tell you something that most people don’t want to hear.

Your income ceiling isn’t determined by your work ethic. It’s not determined by how many hours you grind. It’s not even determined by how smart you are.

Your income ceiling is determined by the rooms you’re in and the people you’re learning from.

Period.

I see this all the time. Someone’s stuck at $50K a month. They’re working their tail off. They’re doing everything “right” according to the YouTube gurus. But they can’t break through to $100K a month, let alone a million a month.

And the reason is simple – they’re in the wrong rooms with the wrong mentors.

Let me explain what I mean by that and more importantly, how to fix it.

But before that, members of My Inner Circle are already scaling to $1M+ and beyond. This isn’t for beginners. It’s only for operators already at $100k+ per month who want proven strategies, speed, and focus. If that’s you, apply here.

Understanding How Peer Groups Create Income Ceilings

Here’s the thing about the rooms you’re in right now. They feel comfortable. They feel safe. Everyone speaks your language. Everyone’s dealing with similar problems.

And that’s exactly the problem.

If you’re in a room where everyone’s making $50K a month, guess what your ceiling becomes? About $50K a month.

Because that’s the collective knowledge and experience in that room. That’s the playbook everyone’s operating from. Those are the strategies being passed around.

You can’t learn how to make a million dollars a month from people who’ve never done it. You just can’t. Research shows that 84% of CEOs credit mentors with helping them avoid costly mistakes in their careers.

It’s like trying to learn how to play professional basketball by only playing pickup games at your local gym. Sure, you’ll get better. But you’ll never develop the skills and strategies that actual NBA players use.

The room sets your standards. The room determines what’s “normal” for you. The room shapes your entire worldview about what’s possible.

And if you want to raise your ceiling, you need to get into a different room.

Choosing Mentors Based on Their Results Not Accessibility

Now let’s talk about mentors because this is where most people really mess up.

Most people choose mentors based on who’s accessible to them. Who’s cheap. Who has a course they can afford. However, research shows that 97% of individuals with mentors say they are highly valuable and impactful. Who responded to their DM on Instagram.

That’s backwards.

You should choose mentors based on where they are, not where you are.

If you want to hit $100K months, you need to learn from people doing $500K months or million dollar months. Not from people who just hit their first $100K month and are now selling a course about it.

Here’s why this matters so much.

Someone who just achieved the result you want is still operating with the same limitations and blind spots you have. Studies show that individuals with mentors are five times more likely to be promoted than those without mentors. They just figured out one specific path that worked for them in their specific circumstance.

But someone who’s way beyond where you want to be? They’ve seen multiple paths. They’ve solved problems you haven’t even encountered yet. They’ve developed pattern recognition across different situations and market conditions.

That’s the person who can actually compress your timeline.

Identifying High Performing Communities Worth Joining

So what does a “better room” actually mean in practical terms?

It’s not just about joining some mastermind or buying access to a community. Though those can be great if they’re the right ones.

A better room is anywhere you’re the dumbest person present. Anywhere you feel slightly uncomfortable because everyone else is operating at a level above you.

That discomfort? That’s growth.

I’ll give you a real example from my own life. When I first started making decent money online, I was in rooms with people doing $20K-$50K months. And I felt pretty good about myself.

Then I got into a room with people doing $500K months. And suddenly I realized how much I didn’t know. How inefficient my systems were. How small I was thinking.

It was uncomfortable. I felt like the broke kid at the rich kid’s birthday party.

But that discomfort pushed me to level up everything. My offers. My operations. My thinking. My standards.

Within six months, I’d doubled my monthly revenue. Not because I was working harder. Because I was operating with better information and higher standards.

The ROI Of Expensive Rooms

Here’s where most people get stuck. They look at the price of getting into a high-level mastermind or mentorship and think, “I can’t afford that.”

But that’s poor person thinking.

The question isn’t “Can I afford this?” The question is “What’s the ROI on this investment?”

Let me break down some math for you.

Let’s say you’re doing $50K months right now. That’s $600K a year. Not bad.

Now let’s say there’s a mastermind that costs $50K a year to join. And in that mastermind, you’re learning from people doing $200K-$500K months.

If being in that room helps you get to just $100K months – doubling your revenue – you’ve added $600K in annual revenue. Your ROI is 12x in year one.

But here’s what actually happens. The people in those rooms aren’t just making more money. They’re making it more efficiently. With better systems. With higher margins. With less stress.

So you don’t just double your revenue. You might double your revenue while cutting your workload in half and increasing your profit margins by 20%.

That’s the real ROI of better rooms.

Step by Step Process to Access High Level Communities

Okay, so you’re sold on the concept. You want to get into better rooms. How do you actually do it?

First, you need to be realistic about where you are and where you’re trying to go.

If you’re doing $10K months, you’re probably not getting into a room full of people doing $1M months. Not directly anyway. You need to climb the ladder.

Target rooms that are one or two levels above where you are now. People doing 2-5x what you’re doing. That’s the sweet spot where you can still add value to the room while learning from people ahead of you.

Second, you need to bring something to the table.

Nobody wants the person who just takes and never gives. Even if you’re paying to be there, you need to contribute. Share what’s working for you. Help others with your specific expertise. Be generous with your knowledge and connections.

Third, be willing to pay for access.

I know that sounds obvious, but most people aren’t actually willing to pay real money for the right rooms. They want the free Facebook group or the $97/month community.

The right rooms cost money. Usually significant money. Because that’s what keeps out the tire kickers and the people who aren’t serious.

When I joined my first high-level mastermind at $36K, it hurt to write that check. But it was the best money I ever spent. The connections alone have generated millions in additional revenue.

How Great Mentors Change Your Decision Making Framework

Here’s what most people don’t understand about mentorship.

The value isn’t just in what the mentor teaches you directly. It’s in how they change your entire operating system.

A great mentor doesn’t just give you tactics. They upgrade how you think. How you make decisions. How you evaluate opportunities. How you solve problems.

Let me give you an example.

Before I had the right mentors, I would look at a problem in my business and think, “How do I fix this?”

After learning from people way ahead of me, I started asking different questions. “Should I even be doing this? Is there a way to remove this problem entirely? Can I hire someone who’s better at this than I’ll ever be?”

That shift in thinking has saved me hundreds of hours and made me millions of dollars.

That’s what the right mentor does. They don’t just teach you what to do. They teach you how to think at a higher level.

Common Mentorship Mistakes That Prevent Results

Now I need to be real with you about something.

Most mentorship relationships fail. And it’s usually not the mentor’s fault.

It’s because the mentee doesn’t do the work. They don’t implement. They collect information but never execute.

Or they implement half of what they learn and expect full results.

Or they’re not coachable. They argue with feedback. They make excuses. They want the mentor to do the work for them.

If you’re going to invest in better mentors and better rooms, you need to show up ready to execute. Ready to be uncomfortable. Ready to have your assumptions challenged.

Otherwise you’re just wasting money and everyone’s time.

Unexpected Business Opportunities from Mastermind Connections

Here’s something powerful that happens when you get into the right rooms.

It’s not just about the official “mentor” or the person running the mastermind.

It’s about the network you build with everyone else in that room.

Some of my most valuable relationships didn’t come from the person I paid to learn from. They came from the other people in those rooms who became friends, partners, and collaborators.

One introduction from someone in a mastermind led to a $2M deal for me. Another connection turned into a business partnership that’s generated over $5M in the last two years.

You can’t put a price tag on that.

When you’re in rooms with other high performers, opportunities emerge that you never could have planned for or predicted.

Four Signs You Have Outgrown Your Current Peer Group

So how do you know when it’s time to leave your current room and upgrade?

Here are the signs I look for.

First, if you’re consistently the most successful person in the room, it’s time to leave. You should be learning more than you’re teaching in any given room.

Second, if the problems people are dealing with seem basic to you now, it’s time to upgrade. You’ve outgrown that level of conversation.

Third, if you find yourself holding back or dumbing down your wins because you don’t want to make others feel bad, you’re in the wrong room.

Fourth, if nobody in the room has solved the problems you’re currently facing, you need to find people who have.

The right room challenges you. Makes you uncomfortable. Forces you to raise your standards.

If you’re too comfortable, you’re in the wrong place.

Allocating 10 Percent of Revenue to Education and Access

Let me give you a framework for thinking about investing in mentors and rooms.

I allocate roughly 10% of my gross revenue to education and access every year. Sometimes more.

When I was doing $50K months, that meant $60K a year on masterminds, mentorship, courses, and events.

Now that I’m doing significantly more, that number has gone up proportionally.

And here’s the thing – that 10% has consistently been my highest ROI investment category. Higher than paid ads. Higher than new hires. Higher than any marketing channel.

Because better knowledge and better connections compound forever.

That Facebook ad you run today will be forgotten tomorrow. But the framework you learn from the right mentor will make you money for the rest of your life.

Four Categories of Communities Every Entrepreneur Needs

Not all rooms serve the same purpose. You actually need different types of rooms for different things.

You need an execution room – people who are in the trenches doing the work, where you can talk tactics and get real feedback on what’s working right now.

You need an aspiration room – people way ahead of you who show you what’s possible and pull you forward with their example.

You need a peer room – people at roughly your level who you can collaborate with, share wins and losses with, and support each other through the journey.

And you need a contribution room – somewhere you’re the expert, where you can teach and give back. This actually helps solidify your own knowledge.

The mistake most people make is trying to get all of these from one room. You need multiple rooms playing different roles.

High Level Mastermind Programs and Qualification Criteria

Look, I’m going to be straight with you about something.

I run an Inner Circle program. It’s expensive. It’s for people already making good money who want to make a lot more.

We do one-on-one calls. Weekly group calls. Quarterly in-person masterminds. You get access to AI Jeremy trained on millions of data points. A massive course vault. An active community of high performers.

I’m not going to sit here and pretend I don’t have something to sell you.

But here’s the thing. Whether you join my Inner Circle or someone else’s high-level program, you need to be in some room that’s above where you are now.

The specific room matters less than the commitment to being in a better room.

If my program is right for you, great. Links are available. There are qualification criteria. It’s not for everyone.

But even if it’s not right for you, find something that is. Find a room that makes you uncomfortable. Find mentors who are where you want to be.

Six Week Action Plan to Join Better Rooms

Okay, enough philosophy. Let me give you the actual steps to take.

Step one: Audit your current rooms. Write down every community, mastermind, group chat, and regular meeting you’re part of. Be honest about whether they’re pushing you forward or holding you back.

Step two: Research rooms that are 2-5x above your current level. Don’t just Google “best masterminds.” Ask people who are ahead of you what rooms they’re in. Follow the breadcrumbs.

Step three: Calculate the real cost. Most high-level rooms cost between $25K-$100K+ per year. If that seems impossible, remember – you’re not buying it with money you have now. You’re buying it with money you’re going to make as a result of being in that room.

Step four: Make the investment before you’re ready. If you wait until you can “easily afford” the next level room, you’re already too late. The right time to invest is when it’s uncomfortable but possible.

Step five: Show up prepared to contribute. Don’t be the person who just takes. Share what’s working for you. Make introductions. Add value however you can.

Step six: Implement immediately. Don’t just collect information. Every time you learn something valuable, implement it within 48 hours. The ROI of mentorship comes from execution, not information.

Free Content vs Paid Mastermind Access Trade Offs

I know what some of you are thinking. “But Jeremy, I can’t afford $50K for a mastermind. Are there free or cheap alternatives?”

Yes and no.

You can absolutely learn a lot from free content. YouTube, podcasts, blog posts – there’s more free education available now than ever before.

But here’s what you can’t get for free: access. Personal feedback. Real relationships with high performers. The accountability that comes from having skin in the game.

Free content is great for learning tactics. But it won’t change your identity or your network the way the right room will.

So use free content to learn. But don’t fool yourself into thinking you’re getting the same value as being in the room.

Long Term Compounding Benefits of Premium Mentorship

Here’s the last thing I want you to understand about this.

Investing in better rooms and better mentors isn’t a quick fix. It’s a long game strategy.

You’re not going to join a mastermind and 10x your revenue next month. That’s not how it works.

But over 6 months, 12 months, 24 months? The compound effect is massive.

Every better decision you make because of what you learned. Every opportunity that comes through your network. Every hour you save by avoiding mistakes someone else already made.

It all adds up to a completely different trajectory.

The person who invests $50K a year in better rooms and mentorship will be in a completely different place five years from now than the person who saves that $50K.

Different business. Different income. Different life.

Immediate Steps to Upgrade Your Mentorship and Network

So here’s what you need to do right now.

Look at where you are. Look at where you want to be in 12 months.

Then ask yourself: “Am I in rooms with people who have already achieved that? Do I have mentors who can guide me there?”

If the answer is no, that’s your biggest bottleneck. Not your funnel. Not your ads. Not your offer.

Your ceiling is determined by your room.

So raise your ceiling by upgrading your room.

Whether that’s my Inner Circle, someone else’s mastermind, or whatever high-level program makes sense for where you are – make the investment.

Because the fastest way to grow isn’t to work harder. It’s to learn from people who’ve already done what you’re trying to do.

Get in better rooms. Get better mentors. Watch your ceiling rise.

Most business owners waste years figuring out what actually works. In my Master Internet Marketing program, I compress that learning curve into 7 weeks — covering copywriting, funnels, ads, and more. If you’re ready to invest $5k and get serious about your skills, apply here.

That’s how you go from wherever you are now to million dollar months.
