What does “Circle of 5” mean?

This concept is most often attributed to business visionary Jim Rohn. He was reported to have said, “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” When Ryan Nelson realized this notion and started assessing who the people he was spending time with were he made a choice. He looked for a more intentional inner circle. That inner circle has been one of the best decisions he has made not only for his business career, but for his life.

His inner circle eventually challenged him to become a coach and share his unique discerning insights with others. Once Ryan finally embraced this calling he knew he needed to focus on helping people build their five people. Thus, the vision for “Circle of 5” came to life.

Why do we need the Network?

Our culture has lost it’s value for human connection. There, I said it! People don’t necessarily want to believe that, but I’m afraid it’s true. Will-I-Am has created an AI talk show host and hopes to make it available to the public so people don’t have to feel so lonely. That’s not how we are wired!

We need this network because we need to connect with people. Becoming a member of the Circle of 5 Network brings you into community of like-minded people who are committed to pursuing real life relationships with other people who will Thrive Together. The primary objective of Circle of 5 Network is not to create your inner circle. But, it’s to support you as you intentionally build your own inner circle.

Why are membership fees so cheap?

Yes, we are aware that there are some programs that you pay hundreds and even thousands of dollars a month for. The rate to be a part of our community is minimal. Why did we do that?

There are two reasons. First, most coaches are looking for a handful of clients to sell high ticket services, too. I completely understand that. I do some of that, too. But, our primary objective is to build a community for anyone looking to grow in their ability to build their Circle. We wanted to make this as accessible as possible while still just having those who are committed to being active be a part of it.

Can I change my membership type?

Yes. You definitely can change your membership type or cancel at the end of your subscription period.

What is a membership number?
