Audit your group of peeps...
One of the concepts I teach is about the fact that you become who you hang with. You are the average of your seven closest people in your life. So if you hang with over-achievers and superstars, you will become one or you are on your way to becoming on. If you hang with losers, sorry to say, you will become a loser. What is that saying? Birds of a feather....Anyway, this is so true. Remember how our parents and grandparents were so consumed with the crowd we ran around with? Now I know why! And it was brilliant advice and parenting.
Warning: It gets lonely at the top. If you are an CEO, leader, visionary....it gets lonely as heck up there. Why? Because people just can't relate or keep up with your speed. It's natural so don't get freaked out when your inner circle begins to get much smaller and you find yourself with less peeps.
But for all of us, I think we need to do an audit of our support group and hangers. Look at who you hang with. Do you need to change the profile? Do you need to throw overboard some bad apples? Do you need to move up?
This is hard to do because of the relational element. None of us want to tell somebody that we have to move on. But iron shapens iron. For all of us to grow, we sometimes need to make those difficult choices and keep moving forward. So look at your group. And surround yourself with good, solid, contributors, that want to make a positive impact in our time. Life is so much fun when you hang with people who see the same things you do and want the same things you do. Law of attraction at work.
