I read this amazing saying the other day about how you can accurately predict where you will be five years from now. It mentioned that you can easily know where you’ll be going, w hat you’ll be doing and what your income level will be. If you want to know how the answer is simple: by the company you keep. I thought it was fascinating and well, so true. As I have gotten older and more mature, I have realized that the people you associate with hav e major impact and influence on your personal success. You can tell where most people are going to end up in life simply based on who they hang around and that is pretty darn accurate if you ask me. And just as relationships can be toxic so can friendships which is why it is so important to choose the right ones so here are 3 ways to find the people who really get you:
Choose friends with common goals. I like to call these your purpose partners. When you have friends with common goals, particularly as an entrepreneur, you can push each other. You can work on your goals together and encourage each other in reaching them.
Choose friends who will celebrate your success. You want friends that celebrate you, not just tolerate you. A true friend will celebrate every milestone, accomplishment and success story on your journey. They will be genuinely happy to see you succeed and be the first to say “congratulations!” Friends like this can be rare so when you find them, keep them close!
Choose friends who are “get-it” people. Get-it people are serious about their goals and serious about success. They don’t treat life casually or waste time on frivolous pursuits. They take fast action and get things done. If you consider yourself a get-it person, it’s important that you have friends who operate the same way.
There was a time in my life when I had a lot of friends some of which just never lifted me up. In fact, there were many who brought me down. As I got older I realized its not how many friends you have but its the quality of people you surround yourself with. While I can’t say I have a million friends now, I can say I have a few amazing people in my life that are always there to lift me up. One of the best moves you can make in life is to surround yourself with friends who see the potential in you that you may not even see in yourself.
