It's absolutely important to stay with people who make you better, people who improve your mental capacity, people who improve your thinking capacity, people who make you look into the future, people who make you talk and think about the things that matter, not people who only make you think about material things, material possessions, inconsequential things in the next five to 10 years. You've got to think about how to stay only with the people that make you better.
And when I say stay with the people that make you better, it means that you're also willing to improve. You're willing to become a better person. You're willing to change for the better.
You don't want to be on the same pedestal in the next five to 10 years. So, if you don't want to remain in the same spot, then you've got to be willing to move with only the people that make you better. Sometimes the people that make you better are not necessarily people that you will like a lot because they will place a demand on you.
They will drive the laziness out of you. They will push you to do the things that don't seem convenient, but on the long run, they will make you a better person. They would place a demand on you.
They will stretch you to the limit, but you know that they are stretching you so that you can become a better person. Does anyone around you make you a better person? Maybe because they make you read? Do they make you better because they help you see new things? Do they make you better by the kind of ideas, and information that they share with you? What are those things that the people in your network share with you? Do they share opportunities with you? Do they help you get better jobs, and better businesses? If there are opportunities in the room, do they mention your name? Those are the kinds of people that you need to be working with. Those are the kinds of people that you must stay with.
If you're not staying with those kinds of people, then you're not helping yourself. Of course, it's not just a one-way thing. If you want more of those kinds of people in your life, you also must be that kind of person to some other people.
You also must make all the people around you better. You must constantly see how you contribute to their lives, how you make their lives better, how you improve the things that they do because what goes around will come around. If you introduce other people to opportunities or share the opportunities that you know about with other people, when other people also have opportunities, they will share it with you.
Do you want to become a better person in the next five years, in the next 10 years, or in the next 20 years? One of the ways to become a better person is to stay with the people that make you better. If you don't have a lot of cash right now, stay or try to learn from people who have it so that in the next five, or 10 years, you can learn from them. You need to stay with the people that make you better.
By staying with the people that make you better, we're saying look for people that can help you improve. Look for people who can, maybe you're trying to get into a career, you're trying to get into an industry, you're trying to improve your career or you're trying to improve your business. You need to look for those people that will help you do your business better, the people that will help you improve or accelerate your career.
Those are people that you must constantly move with. Those are the people that you must stay with. Staying with people that make you better isn't just about; we're not talking about feeling better now.
We're not talking about people that just make you happy for the moment. We're not talking about people that just give you something that excites you. No, that's not what we're talking about.
People that are genuinely interested in your well-being. People who are genuinely seeking how you can become a better professional, how you can become maybe a better writer, a better author, a better speaker, how you can become a better communications professional, how you can become a better accountant, a better broadcaster, whatever it is that you do, how you can become better. Those are the people that you must constantly look for and you need to spend quality time with them.
Now, it's not enough to stay with them, you've got to make their time worthwhile by showing that you're a teachable person and that you're willing to learn.
