There’s a pattern for success that seems to repeat itself again and again.
I’d like to share it with you.
It’s simply this: Successful people are very selective, regarding who they associate with.
The reason this is so important, is that everyone we give our attention to influences us. Think about it. When you spend time with an optimistic person, your attitude and overall mood improves. Conversely, when you spend time with a negative person, your fears and doubts increase.
One of my mentors once gave me the following advice. “If you hang around with people who’re going nowhere, one day, everything they have will be yours“!
Thankfully, the opposite is also true.
Get around the right people
By associating with successful people, you’ll massively increase your own chances of success. The conversations and inspirations you’ll expose yourself to will be consistent with progress and achievement. Their expectations from your successful associates will also be greater, causing you to raise the bar.
This all combines to improve how you think. As your thinking improves you will find yourself making better decisions. And as decisions precede your actions, your results will improve.
This sets a positive cycle in place, which creates unstoppable momentum. It’s one of the least discussed professional development strategies, yet it’s also one of the most powerful.
We don’t live in a bubble
Life is complicated. As such, there are some people we need to be around from time to time, who are negative. This could be a family member. It might be the person next who’s going through a tough situation. That person in need could be you or me one day, and we wouldn’t want people turning their backs on us!
It’s not about avoiding people when they require help.
It’s about balance.
This simply means not spending unnecessary time with people who have a damaging impact on us. And proactively associating with those who inspire us to be the best people we can be.
