Surround Yourself With Successful People and You’ll Become Successful Too
Being the smartest person in the room means your potential for growing has been capped. Sure, it’s nice to feed the ego and feel superior, but is it really helping you? Having people to learn from keeps your progression going.
If you’re seeking knowledge to break into another world and become successful, what are the ways you’ll try to do so?
Surrounding yourself with successful people is the best way to start.
Here’s why it’s important to surround yourself with successful people:
Constant attention to the expert’s advice begins to reconfigure your brain to the concepts they teach. This does two things:
1. It makes the concepts more normal to you the more you are exposed to them, which in turn makes it easier to apply them as you build your confidence.
2. It makes it easier to build upon these concepts when you add other expert’s advice into your pool of knowledge.
Why are those two points important?
These new concepts you’re learning need to become normal to you. It’s like practicing a dance move or pitching until you’ve build up muscle memory, and your body does it without thinking.
