The people we surround ourselves with impact our lives: Assess the company we keep, spend less time with negatives, and choose those who inspire growth
The people we surround ourselves with significantly impact our lives. After 15 minutes of interaction, our brain waves begin to mimic each other, meaning we start to adopt the habits, mindsets, and even the physical characteristics of those around us. This effect can lead us to become more like our top five friends, whether that's positive or negative. So, it's essential to assess the company we keep and consider whether they inspire us to grow or hold us back. We don't need to cut ties with long-term relationships, but we can make a conscious effort to spend less time with those who don't support our goals or bring us down. Ultimately, we have the power to choose who influences us and shape our future.
Evaluate your inner circle for positive influences: Identify top 5 contacts, assess their impact, expand network for new relationships, allocate time to positive influences, maintain existing friendships for support
It's essential to evaluate the people we surround ourselves with and ensure they positively influence our personal growth. We all have limited time and energy, and spending it with individuals who pull us down instead of pushing us forward can hinder our progress. The speaker suggests identifying the top five people we spend the most time with and considering whether they inspire us to be better. If not, we should seek out new acquaintances through networking events or hobby groups to expand our circle and find individuals who share similar goals and values. It's important to remember that this doesn't mean getting rid of our current friends but rather allocating more time and energy to those who uplift us. Additionally, having a strong extended network can provide valuable support and resources when needed.
Assessing and Adjusting Relationships: Evaluate your top five connections, maintain or adjust based on growth and value, seek out new connections for inspiration, and surround yourself with positive influences.
It's essential to evaluate the people we surround ourselves with and consider if they bring positive energy and growth. The speaker should identify their top five connections, assessing if they need to maintain or adjust these relationships. Older, successful individuals can offer valuable advice and inspiration, but it's crucial to ensure a mutual exchange of value. Don't hesitate to seek out new connections. Look for individuals who can help you grow, whether they're on the same level or further ahead, and engage in meaningful relationships based on mutual inspiration. Remember, it's your life, and you have the power to shape it by surrounding yourself with the right people.
Expand your network and seek mentors: Aim for 7+ mentors in a lifetime, join communities, help others, and surround yourself with inspiring individuals for personal growth and success.
Expanding your network and seeking out mentors and like-minded individuals is crucial for personal growth and success. The average millionaire has had seven mentors throughout their lifetime, and it's essential to strive for more if you're looking to improve yourself. Joining a community, like the one Rob created, is an easy and cost-effective way to connect with inspiring individuals and receive daily motivation and accountability. Make it your mission to help others and share this episode with someone who could benefit from it. Remember, every day is an opportunity to make your dreams a reality. So go out and build your network, seek out mentors, and surround yourself with people who will challenge and inspire you to be better.
