Millionaire, 23, Says Cutting Off Friends Is Key To His Success: "Friendships Hold You Back"

• Public Relations firm founder Luke Lintz believes avoiding lasting relationships is essential to maintain his dedication to success
• Despite his unorthodox philosophy, Lintz insists that he remains very approachable and personable
• However, he is cautious about forming new friendships, as they could potentially jeopardise his focus and ambition

Luke Lintz is making headlines for his unconventional approach to success.

Healthy solitary lifestyle

At just 23 years old, Lintz claims that cutting off friends has been the key to his remarkable achievements.

According to New York Post, the founder of the HighKey Agency, a prominent PR firm, believes that social gatherings and friendships can be detrimental to one's goals.

Lintz's intense dedication to his career is evident as he proudly boasts of never taking a day off in the past seven years.

He has shunned invitations to friends' weddings and birthdays, convinced that such events are mere distractions on his path to greatness.

Instead, he has chosen a solitary lifestyle, moving far away from his loved ones and living in isolation.

"I was extremely popular in high school and after graduation, but the constant invites to celebrate friends’ birthdays, promotions and weddings were too much of a distraction from success,” Lintz said.

Bro code

The only exceptions to Lintz's no-friends rule are his two brothers, Jordan and Jackson, who share his passion for entrepreneurship and play crucial roles in running the agency.

“After work, whatever time in my day is left, I give to my brothers and our discussions about work and the direction we are heading in,” he said.

While some might view Lintz's approach as extreme and isolating, he argues that friendships are time-consuming and can hinder progress.

“I’m a friendly, personable guy and people approach me and want to get to know me, but I have to be cautious because most friendships will hold you back and s*ck up your time,” he stated.

Adding:

"If I wanted a new friend, I’d make one but I’m not in an era of creating lasting friendships.”

Married women don't trust friends

Elsewhere, married women opened up about having reservations about friends being too close to their husbands.

The discussion was prompted by a Facebook post by philanthropist Karangu Muraya cautioning women to keep their friends away from their husbands.

“Dear women, no matter how you trust your female friends. Never bring them close to your man. Thank you,” he wrote.

The post saw women open up about their nasty experiences.

Annie Mungai:

“I once brought my cousin to my house to stay with us, she kept telling me I had a good bed. Little did I know they were waiting for me to go to work and enjoy themselves.”

Sarah Mbijiwe:

“If your friends and man have no boundaries, it tells a lot about you. You are the people you hang around with.”

Prophetess Monicah:

“Good and true advice.”
