Change Your Association, Change Your Life!

change.

What you can do, however, is make your local support group more diverse by getting to know successful people in your own area. This can be done by taking a job at a local corporation or simply mingling with people everywhere you go. Another great method is to join an MLM company, this sounds funny, but it works! You are bound to time people who are more successful than most if you are constantly meeting people and over time, you will find that your income will increase as well.

This entire formula is a direct result of peer pressure, as no one wants to be the one that stands out in a group. If you are the most successful person in a group, you will be expected to pick up the check and do other things that you do not want to do. Likewise, if you are the least successful person in a group, you will not be able to afford to go out for nice dinners or stay at nice hotels on trips. You have probably noticed that Hollywood actors hang out with other actors, doctors hang out with other doctors, and CEOs hang out with other CEOs and the reason for that is that they are just as successful as one another.

If you were looking for your dream girl, you would not hang out at a construction site and, likewise, you cannot reach your goals if you are with people who do not have similar aspirations. You do not have to completely rid yourself of these influences in your life, since they are your friends and youdefinitely care about them. What you do have to do is expand your network and make new friends who have similar goals or, better yet, have already achieved these goals. If you can accomplish this, you will find yourself more motivated than ever before you succeed financially and once you have this motivation, there is nothing that can hold you can from reaching your end goal. Your success is within your reach now that you know about the five divided by fives equals success formula, so go out there and make it happen for yourself.

I am here to tell you that so many doors have opened in my life because I “live” by
this! It truly does work …….. every time!

Change your association, change your life, your situation, your income!

To Your Success,

Mark

  • Mark,

    You’re dead on with this post. I was at a Jack Canfield training when he and Mark Victor Hansen (Chicken Soup for the Soul Empire in case anyone doesn’t know them) when he and Mark talked about how them dramatically change things when they moved their mastermind group up a level to people who were where they wanted to be rather than people who were in the same place as them. Who you hang with has a huge impact on everything.

  • Great analogy of “POSITIVE PEER PRESSURE”. You nailed it with this post. You actually approached this with a new fresh spin on NFL athlete with Baseball team, and Dream Girl on a construction site.

    BRO your on “FIRE”.

  • Right you are Mark. ..as the saying goes, “Birds of a feather (ahem) flock together”.

    Like you say, you can’t learn from the best of them, if you don’t hang with them. There is much to be learned from many great minds. And it’s fun to learn. So thank you for laying it out in this great post!!

    Take care Mark,

  • The importance and value of your post was brought back to me clearly again last night. I visited my brother. He is reasonably well off more so than I am. His earnings are mainly from working long hours and learning to advance in a government job. He has dabbled in property purchases and upgrading premises and renting out and selling on as well.He has a very negative attitude to making money online. I found my self switching off and ignoring him once more on the subject. Anyway my last response to you found me writing another article about just that here http://regwhelan.info/gogvo/category/all-business-opportunities/

  • Mark,

    I remember the first time I heard these words was in late March of this year, when Marshall Sylver said it at his Turning Point Seminar. It was then Steph and I made so many connections with like minded people. That event truly did change not only our day to day associations, but our lives. Great post and words to live by!

    See you in San Antonio ๐Ÿ™‚

    Richard,

    I personally do my best to reply to all posts.
    However, each leader is different, my friend.

    By “Association” you can simply attend events, webcasts, tele-conferences. The best way to get a leaders attention is to Become a Leader Yourslf.

    Use your own ability, personality and passion to draw others to you.

    Great point here, bud… Keep the Faith!

  • Hi Mark

    You are so right in what you say, but getting the high earners to associate with those who are not up their is not easy.

    I have left comments on some of their blogs with absolutely zero response from them, so perhaps you should also try and get the high earners to respond to all their commenters.

    Richard

  • Hi Mark,
    I see from your email you are learning about the value of commenting on your website and on that of the commentor.
    Google caffeine places value on your site being interactive with your viewers and it provides value for your viewers by adding a vale to their website pages for thew link they include in the comment boxes.
    As a user we only get value for one link from your blog page. I will use different page links for different comments on the one page but we need you to update your content so we have more pages to add our comments to. Do it for yourself an for us your readers.

  • Awesome post, Mark!

    Of all people YOU know how my life has
    changed since surrounding myself with
    not only successful, but POSITIVE people!
    Associating with those who have the proper
    mindset is truly key!

    Thanks so much,
    Stephanie

  • Mark

  • Great post Mark and great advice,
    Too often, people forget about the power of influence.  Associating with the right people is key to success in all areas of life.
    The Power of Positive Influence is Great!
