Surround yourself with better people

It has come to my attention that people think that those who already have money are the ones who can also make it in life.This notion is both true and false. Its true in that they have seen it and got inspired and they now want to get better,,,,,,,The trick for any other average guy is to surround yourself with the right people who can help catapult you as well

Think about faces, voices, people that have inspired you, encouraged you, made you feel great about yourself and about your future. It could have been a family member. Maybe it was a key person from your school days or a past career. Maybe it was a random person with the right words on the right day.

Have you noticed that there are certain people who just seem to be on the "UP" escalator of life? For some reason, they don't buy into all the negative drama of the reality-show mindset or get caught up in media doom and gloom. They show you by the way they walk, talk and think that they both GIVE and EXPECT the very best that the world has to offer.

Now, match that vision up with the people that you spend the most time with today. Who are your top Skype contacts or Facebook friends? How many names inspire you on your cell phone contact list? Look, I'm not suggesting that you could or should fire your relatives or blow off that friend from sixth grade. What I AM suggesting is that maybe it's time to boost the number of positive influences in your life.

Many of my best friends and business associates have different political and religious views from mine, but they have one important trait in common. They spend the majority of their time with people who demand the best FOR and FROM themselves on a daily basis.

Flip that idea over for second. If someone you know was going through that same evaluation process, would they pick YOU? What message do you send by the way you carry yourself and interact with people you meet? Are you planting seeds of inspiration and encouragement that bring out the best in others?

There's nothing like a live event with positive people to get you fired up and moving forward. In addition to the lifetime networking value, the new distinctions you learn on the spot can add leverage and power to your daily activities in ways you never imagined.

As I greet each business day with my various business partners, I'm surrounded by people who elevate my thinking. They don't live that way because they're successful. They're successful because they live that way. You can start designing a world like that right now!
