Community

The older I get the more I realize how important having a tight knit group of people surrounding you. The quantity doesn’t so much matter as much as the quality.

Your “tribe” matters. The community of people you surround yourself with will dictate your life in more ways than you think. Have you ever heard the old saying “if you hang out with 3 assholes, you are the 4th asshole”? This simple statement means more than you even know. The people and things you choose to surround yourself with play an immensely important role in molding who you are as a person and where your life path is going.

Who is in your circle? What do the people in your circle talk about? Do they gossip and talk about other people? Are they entrepreneurs? Are they losers? Are YOU a loser?

Now that I’ve pissed you off, I have your attention. You, as an individual, are under no obligation to stay around people and things that bring you down. I’ve lost so many “friends” because I chose to level up instead of wallowing in self destructive pity and negativity. Did I really “lose” anything though? Or did I gain a new lease on life by moving forward. We see and hear it all the time… “You have to stop caring what people think” Every motivational speaker, every successful business owner, everyone who has ever done anything worth while… all says the same thing. Stop caring what people think, and surround yourself with the right tribe.

So, what’s stopping you? What are the excuses you constantly make for yourself that keep you In the same place running on the same hamster wheel?

White those things down, Develop a plan, execute. Daily. Surround yourself with better quality people and things. And watch your life change before your eyes.

Now more than ever community matters. Build a community of amazing people and you will do amazing things.
