Tell me who your friends are

Who you associate with is who you become.

It’s crucial to have people who challenge you to grow. 

A role model who will raise your standards.

A mentor who will not let you get complacent.

If you hang around three confident people, you’ll be the fourth.
If you hang around three intelligent people, you’ll be the fourth.
If you hang around three millionaires, you’ll be the fourth.
If you hang around three fools, you’ll be the fourth.

It’s inevitable.

Such a simple concept, but what a difference it can make in your performance and your life.

There’s no faster way to advance into the top five percent of your industry than this.

Find those people.

The ones who make you better just by being around them. Because you become a lot like the people you spend the most time with.

Their mindset, beliefs, and energy are contagious.

Once you elevate your circle, your standards will follow.
