Tell Me Who’s Your Friend…I’ll Tell You Who You Are

Tell Me Who’s Your Friend…I’ll Tell You Who You Are

Your personal and business success hinges on the people with whom you share your time.  With the right support you’ll be energised, encouraged and empowered…your business will thrive.  Without it…your business will barely survive.  

To be successful, you must surround yourself with successful people, and that includes friends and family.  So as you gear up for the festive season, it’s important to consider how much influence your best friend, partner, sister, mother or personal trainer has on the success of your business.  

It’s recognised that we are the average of the five people with whom we spend the most time.  

I’ll explain this further by way of 3 phenomena.

The Magnet Effect

We are magnets drawing together like-minded people.  And the people you attract have a huge effect on the beliefs and ideas that you have about yourself.

When you are confident about your success, vision and life purpose, you attract those people who radiate similar beliefs.  These people then become a powerful force that will propel you forward.  

Conversely, if you spend time with negative victims who gossip about others…this paints a picture of who You are.

Ask yourself, who am I drawing into my life?  They could be people you know or people you hire, your coach, your mentor, your strategist, your outsource professionals.  Am I moving towards the people who are where I want to be?
    
The Butterfly Effect

The Butterfly Effect is a scientific phenomena coined by Edward Lorenz. The concept explains that a butterfly, flapping its wings in South America can affect the weather in Central Park. The actual definition is:

  "A small variation of an initial condition may produce a large variation, in the longer term of a system."

While you cannot change another’s behaviour, you can change yours.

So when you do something small, for example, when you decide that you’re too busy to listen to time wasting jokes and you ask everybody to, "Please stop sending them to me."  You’re taking charge of your life.  You’re telling the world that your time is important.  And you’re asking others to respect your time.  You are making a small, but powerful decision that changes your life.  

And with those changes unsupportive people and things are organically culled.

The Mozart Effect

The Mozart Effect is a phenomena described by French researcher Alfred Tomatis which states that listening to certain types of music; in particular, Mozart, brings about healing and developmental properties.

The transformational powers of music affect your health, education and well-being. Subliminally your life is affected by the music you listen to AND the people you listen to.  You need to ask…is this the music I want to hear?  Is it supporting my well-being and transforming my life?

The people that you draw into your life, the small actions you take and the music that you listen to have a HUGE affect on your physical and mental well-being as well as the well-being of your business.

So I ask…with whom will you choose to share your time this Festive Season?
