How to surround yourself with people better than yourself

Have you ever noticed, successful people surround themselves with people who know more, do more, have more than they do. Not that they are trying to take these people for what they got, but in my opinion it's to help them to become better people as well. Think about it. If you surrounded yourself with mediocre people all day who slacked, who were lazy, who only did just enough to get by even if you are a very disciplined person you too will start to take on their behaviors.


It's like what I was saying about the Circle of Success, you have to surround yourself not just with like-minded people but people who are better than yourself. But how do you know which friends, associates, and contacts you should surround yourself to make you a better person? Of course you have your family who is there to support you and your decisions even if they don't understand them fully. And you have your friends to hold up that mirror when you forget to look at it by yourself. Absolutely you have your closest associates to bounce ideas off of. But there are still more people and better ways to finding those people with whom will make you better.

Circle of Success: Monday Motivation

"Lead yourself, lead your superiors, lead your peers, and free your people to do the same. All else is trivia."

As of late, I've been observing my peers. Wondering how they are doing, what new things they have coming up in their lives, what exciting adventures they are undertaking. Many of them have their own ventures, own lives, own goals that they want to accomplish. I've known many of them since the very beginning of their success and I've been glad to see their ideas, dreams, and businesses really blossom.

These people I like to call my "circle of success." What does that mean exactly? Circle of Success is your group of peers, whether a combination of your closest friends, associates, or affiliates, that you surround yourself with. These same people are working diligently and ambitiously to create success around them. Think of it as positive peer pressure. If your "Circle of Success" is doing great things, there is no reason why you shouldn't either. If not one person in your "Circle of Success" is a failure, then you best believe you aren't either. Allow your "Circle of Success" to help propel you and your goals forward.

Surround yourself with like minded people or with people with whom can help you get to the next level.
