It is very important to spend time with the people you want to become like. If you want to be more successful, you have to start hanging out with more successful people.
Attend lectures, symposia, courses, seminars, clinics, camps and retreats taught by those who have already achieved what you want to achieve.
John Assaraf is a successful entrepreneur who has seemingly done it all including traveling the world for a year in his twenties, owning and operating a franchising company whose annual real estate revenues topped $3 billion and helping to build Internet virtual tour pioneer Bamboo.com (now IPEX) from a team of 6 people to a team of 1,500 people in just over a year, netting millions in monthly sales and completing a successful initial public offering on the NASDAQ after just 9 months
These successful people taught John to never give up his dreams. "No matter what the failure" they told him "try another way, try going up, over, around or through, but never give up. There's always a way"
You need to be surrounded with those who have done it; you need to be surrounded with people who have a positive attitude a solution-oriented approach to life- people who know that they can accomplish whatever they set out to do.
Avoid toxic people. Until you reach the point in your self-development where you no longer allow people to affect you with their negativity, you need to avoid toxic people at all costs. You are better off spending time alone than spending time with people who will hold you back with their victim mentality and their mediocre standards.
Make a conscious effort to surround yourself with positive, nourishing, and uplifting people--people who believe in you, encourage you to go after your dreams, and applaud your victories. Surround yourself with possibility thinkers, idealist, and visionaries.
If you are going to be successful, you have to start hanging out with the successful people. You need to ask them to share their success strategies with you. Then try them on and see if they fit for you.
Experiment with doing what they do, reading what they read, thinking the way they think, and so on. If the new ways of thinking and behaving work, adopt them. If not, drop them, and keep looking and experimenting.
