this does not mean that you have to forget about how close you are with your family and find new friends. What you should do, however, is associate yourself with more successful people because this will give you the drive that you need to succeed yourself. This works every time because we are driven by those around us in life and we can quickly get complacent when the people around us similar to us.
The reason for this is that we do not feel the need to improve ourselves if we feel comfortable about our income level. Of course, if everyone around us is making the same amount of money, there is no reason to feel uncomfortable about how much money the amount of money we are making, since we are not outcast from the group. Income level is also very conducive to the lifestyle that a person lives and if everyone else that is around is living the same lifestyle, that lifestyle becomes very
comfortable and there is little reason to improve it.
Compare this to a football player who wants to play in the NFL, but is constantly training with a baseball team. He might be comfortable with the baseball team and the other members of the team might be that person’s best friends, but practicing with a baseball team will not make him a better football player. The same can be said for an individual’s career, as you will not improve your career standing if you hang out with people who are not worried about improving themselves. You must be around people who are successful because they will motivate you to make yourself better.
The good news is that this will not be that significant of a change in your life, as long as you handle things the right way. You do not have to move to a major city and surround yourself with some of the most knowledgeable people in the business world
because, let’s face it, they wouldn’t want to hang out with you anyway. They are very busy and very important people who have better things to do than hang out with someone who wants to improve him or her self. If it was that easy, everyone would be best friends with the richest people in the world and in this
scenario, the dynamics of this formula would certainly have to 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.
