To thrive in any entrepreneurial venture, we need to create associations of success. I definitely sure that most of us have heard the saying “we are the average of the 5 people with whom we are most closely associated”. Your associations of success will help you follow through with your plan and achieve your goals. You and your associates can have the greatest vision and put together the most complete plan of achieving that goal. However, being surrounded by only negative and unsupported people will derail your plans of making your goal and vision a reality.
Without associations of success, your negative associations may not directly push you off the path towards success, but they can slowly nudge you off the path over a period of time. The effects are quite subtle, but if you constantly hear your friends or family say, 'That's not going to work,' or 'You can't do that,' your subconscious mind will start to absorb these negative suggestions, and then you will start losing your confidence and belief that you can carry through with your plan. This will inevitably lead to underachievement and failure.
If you want to be successful in the network venture where having the entrepreneurial spirit is important to success, you need to closely evaluate the five closest people in your life. Just think yourself, are they associations of success? Take the time to reprioritize the people with whom you are going to associate with, especially if you have made the commitment to reach new heights of success. You should then organize your associations into three different categories: disassociations, limited associations, and expanded associations.
The following is an explanation of each category:
Disassociations - These are the types of people who constantly complain and have nothing but negative influence on your life. While this may be a painful process, you need to make the hard decision to remove any negative influence from your life. Otherwise, you will be held back by these people and fail to reach your goals. You should think that this is more painful in the long term.
Limited Associations - These are the types of people where you decide whether you will spend 3 hours with them or 3 minutes. You need to evaluate what type of influence they may have on you, and then decide how much of their influence you will let into your life. Obviously, the more positive the influence, the more time you will spend with them.
Expanded Associations - These are the people you want to spend more time with because they have achieved success in the area where you want to make improvements. For example, if you want to become more spiritual, spend time with someone who has achieved spiritual abundance. If you want to become a successful business owner, spend more with someone you consider as a role model and learn from them. Join organizations where you think these people may belong and make friends with them.
Make sure to create your associations of success with 5 incredible people from whom you want to learn. This will keep you on your path towards success.
So, good luck!! Try the best for your venture and don’t make a mistake by choosing wrong associations.
