Who you hang around with most of the time is who you become most like. In this article, I am referring to your “peers” (friends, work colleagues, associates). When you develop a peer network, you create an unconscious connection with these people. Your unconscious desire is to remain in harmony (rapport) with these people as that is what brings us joy in life. We all enjoy good harmonious relations. However, the relations you have in your life are the biggest factor to the way your life evolves. Yes I will repeat this – the relations you have in your life are the biggest factor to the way your life evolves. WOW, that is significant. If you have healthy relationships with positive aspirational, successful, balanced people , you will also unconsciously adopt these traits.

If you desire to have good health, you need to value good health, and the people you hang around with on a consistent basis will  influence you here. Similarly, if you value a good marriage or partnership, then the people you hang around with need to give it the value it deserves and be showing good leadership in this area. Did you know that if you want lots of money and wealth, then the people you hang around with need to be affluent, and if you want to be joyful and spiritual in nature, then the people you associate with also need to be seeking this state as well. Now I know you may not find one person that has all of these traits, however you need to look at who you want to become and to ensure there are people with these strengths of character in your regular (daily) environment as they will influence you unconsciously. Who you hang around with on a consistent basis, you will become most like. It is so true.

I encourage you to reflect on your environment and make some choices on how you will improve it. Perhaps make it a goal for 2020 to bring in some new friendships that will positively influence you in the direction of your chosen destiny.

One of those environments is our Breakfast at the Next Level, whereby we bring great guests and highly motivated people together, to learn about getting more out of life. Checkout our website and come along to our next breakfast event. If you have not been lately, the SOL Results team invite you to attend, we look forward to welcoming you!

I encourage you to live a life with passion, purpose and always be at peace.

People often ask me “What are the secrets to success?”  It’s an interesting question for there are so many answers. As you know, we interview an industry leader at our monthly Breakfast at The Next Level from February to December each year. If I reflect on the many industry leaders we have had over the last 10 years I’d have to say that there are three secrets you must absolutely do to succeed. Yes there are many others, however these are a MUST not a should do.

First and foremost, who you hang around with is who you become. Yes that’s right. Peer group is one of the most powerful (subconscious) forces that help one to succeed. There is a valid wisdom that goes like this “If you want to fly like an eagle, do not hang around with turkeys”. Whilst I believe that all human beings are created equal and are equally important, I also know that when I hang around with someone who is good at a particular vocation or skill, I tend to pick up these qualities with time and learn to think similarly. If you want to be healthy, hang around with people who focus and talk about eating healthy, keeping fit, and looking after their body and mind. If you want to make lots of money, be in the company of people who manufacture their own money whenever they want.

Secondly, you must set and monitor goals. High achievers set goals and review them daily. They are obsessed with their goals. Goals help you stretch, grow and become a better person. I love setting and achieving goals and find the process exhilarating. Setting and manifesting goals is the creation of something in the invisible (thought) and bringing into the visible (matter).

Thirdly, this is a hard one as there are so many to choose from, I’d have to say, execution. Get into the action habit, have a go, take a crack at it and don’t sit around waiting for success. The person who sets a goal, plans, and takes action is the person who succeeds. Get a coach to hold you accountable, I am a big believer in having a coach to help you achieve your goals, and measure yourself daily. What you measure, you manage. If you are not measuring your performance, then you are not managing. Only high performers get to the top in any aspect of life, so decide if you will be one of those people. There is lots of room at the top – in fact, it is lonely at the top! There is plenty of room for more leaders.

So , they are the three key factors to becoming successful with anything you desire or want to do.

Success leaves clues for everyone to take and do the same. You too can achieve your life dreams. Let us at SOL Results help you to be more, have more, and give more.

Live with passion, stay on your life purpose, and always be at peace.
