We absorb energy from the people around us positively or negatively. The friends you choose can profoundly impact your thinking, decisions, and ultimately, your success. Bad friendships can drain your energy and limit growth, while good friends can inspire and elevate your life. If your friends don’t discuss business, wealth, or new opportunities, it might be time to rethink your circle.
Personal relationships are very important. Bill Gates in his blog talks about how Warren Buffett has helped him to define success by the strength of one’s personal relationships. Both have been friends for decades now and Gates gives a lot of his success credit to Warren Buffett’s friendship.
There is research that says, You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with. In the modern age, it’s okay to talk about the lack of money or your bad credit situation but people generally do not talk about their huge bank balances, and frankly speaking, why should they?. If someone brags about their new Mercedez Benz car, it sounds as obnoxious as dragging nails on the chalkboard.
Interestingly, 70% of today millionaires are first-generation they built their fortunes from scratch through hard work, courage, and entrepreneurial risks. Surrounding yourself with people who embrace similar principles can help shift your mindset toward opportunity and growth.
Let’s look at it as a more simplified example. If you surround yourself with friends who talk about cars, you will automatically begin to like cars and would like to replace your old, rusted-out car with a new car. If your friends constantly talk about real estate, you will be inclined to take this as a new business for the sale/purchase of land and property. Everybody wants to be prosperous. Wealth makes one happy. There is no harm in going into business with a friend.
The reason why you should surround yourself with people, and friends circle who talk about business, and money is to change your mindset for better business opportunities. Friends who talk about wealth, money, and business are better destined to reshape your future than those who put you down.
In Short: Sit with winners, and the conversation is different. Positive, ambitious friends challenge you, motivate you, and create a mindset for success. Choose your circle wisely it can redefine your future.
