Hello!
We have all heard the saying: You are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with.
You are the average income of your 5 friends, your average happiness and so on.
I didn't believe this the first time I heard it because I thought I was different than most of my friends. But when I actually sat down and looked at how much money I was earning, how I lived my day to day life, how much action I took and so on, I realized that I was exactly like my friends.
I still love my friends and I won't ditch them. But I feel like I need to get some new action takers in my life. But right now Im trying to build a business from home (will be shipping products) so I won't move for a while. And thats okay with me right now, I made that decision.
But what Im wondering is this: Is there anybody on this forum that got out there and actively found new action taking friends? Anybody who changed who they spend the most time with?
And if you did (congratulations!), how did that actually affect your life? In business and also maybe what you did in other areas of your life?
