Dead Batteries

Who do you spend time with? (“You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” ~Jim Rohn) The people you surround yourself with will affect your mindset. Think about them. If you are spending time with people who are also forward thinkers and understand your excitement and drive, you are in good company. On the other hand if you are surrounded by people who are always in one crisis after another and you seem to be the solution to their problems, your energy will be drained.


One of the most difficult things to do, but also necessary for moving forward is to look at the people in your life. Are they driven to live their life with purpose and understand your desire for success? Choose people who will build you up.

Connect with people who are already achieving some of the goals you are currently striving for. Remember if you want to be a millionaire, you need to spend time with millionaires. They think differently and act differently than people living paycheck to paycheck.

Do you know what holds you back? Everything you do is based upon your beliefs. In turn, this affects how you perceive your world around you. Put your finger on what is holding you back and getting in the way of your success. If you don’t have any negative beliefs about success, then look at your beliefs around money and wealth. They are related, but different.

Look within and decide if there is a difference between what you say you want and what you actually believe is true. Your core beliefs were influenced by your life circumstances and how you interpreted those events. Look back on those events or influences. How old were you?

Unless you have consciously done your work, you will be surprised to recognize beliefs you developed at a much younger age continue to influence your mindset. This is like having a young child get into the driver’s seat of the bus and begin driving the bus. If the old belief does not work for you, blow it up! That is right. Let it go. Create one more relevant to who you are now and your current life goals.
