Let's analyze this Cringe worthy quote from Jim Rohn.

So, I started this week with a whole lot of ideas, like a whole lot to talk about.?

I could be in deep work,

or even casually reading a book,

or having a conversation with my sister,?

And an idea will pop in.?

But this quote landed when I was reading a colleague’s newsletter. (PS: He has over 15,000+ members)

And then, this quote from my fav. mentor, Jim Rohn came to me, so let’s use the next 2 mins to break it down:?

“You’re the average of 5 people, you spend the most time with.”?

I won’t sound cliche, but I will deeply explain best to my understanding and then give you some practical steps.?

• Average means middle point?

i.e., You can be a '10', Jane maybe is a 7, Suzan = 2, Another friend = 4, Another = 0.?

So. you’ve got 10+7+2+4+0 = 23.?

divided by your 5 friends = 4.6

Meaning, you’re truly not a 10, only a 4.?

Your value decreases (if you didn’t get the math)?

• Why 5 friends?

i.e., 5 as a number signifies “CHANGE.”?

meaning, you change to fit into the situation you find yourself in.?

If you love to think about money and business, but you’re in the friend group that discusses people.?

In turn your mind becomes inclined to only think about people. (average minds discuss people)

• How does this affect me??

Now you’ve got to sit down and analyze.?

• Who are my 5 friends??
• What do we really discuss??
• What do I like, and do we discuss that?

You’ve got that on lock right .?

The Final thing is,?

• Write all you're passionate about??
• Write all your thoughts on the surface, what your friends are passionate about??
• Now choose to either discuss it with them, or focus more on yourself??

I tell you, once you’ve done this, you’ll land in 2 conclusions.?

• Is your value decreasing??
• or is it increasing?

Now what you do after your discovery is totally up to you but remember your future self in 10 years will either thank you or not, depending on your decision today.?

Well, that’s all for today.?

To leave you with this:

1. Surround yourself with people that push you to do and be better.?

No drama or negativity.?

1. Just higher goals and higher motivation.

Good times and positive energy.?

1. Bringing out the absolute best in each other

No jealousy or hate.?

Cheers.
