They say who you hang out with you is who you become. Not sure I agree 100%, but anyways. Just wondering do you guys think it's important to make friends who have the same entrepreneurial dream as you? I don't have any friends that have the same goals as me, they think more the slow-lane approach work a 9-5 job etc. The reason I ask this question is because a lot of people say to pick people with the same goals as you etc, but I'm not really looking for extra friends. Do you think this is a mistake?
The thing that confuses me I guess is, say for example you do make any sort of friend if you are constantly working on your business how can you also balance keeping a friend?
I tend to agree with the notion that you become like the people you spend the most time around. I know several people that continually complain that they some "friend" is an idiot or a loser... I don't understand why they would willingly spend time with them.
I am a private person. I choose not to spend my time around people that I don't relate with. I wouldn't suggest you only socialize with entrepreneurs... I would suggest, however, that you hang out with the people you respect the most, for various reasons. Go getters. Intelligent people. Spiritual leaders you respect. Make sure there is something about them that you wish you were more like before you make it a pattern to spend a lot of time with someone.
