Did you know that YOU ARE THE AVERAGE OF THE 5 PEOPLE YOU MOST SPEND TIME WITH? If you want to be ____ (fill in the blank), spend time with people who do that already. ๐๐๐ Here's an excerpt out of a newsletter from @altucher : ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ "The 5x5 rule is: You are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with. ๐ Your health is the average of the 5 foods you eat the most. ๐ Your mental state is the average of the 5 things you think about the most. ๐ Your creativity is the average of the 5 works of art you spend the most time trying to read or watch or understand. ๐ฑ Your ability to be loved is the average of the 5 things you most do that are lovable. โค๏ธ Corollary: Stand next to the smartest person in the room." โ

I tell my kids this all the time - if you want to be a winner, hang out with people who are doing good stuff. If you want to be fit, hang out with people who are fit. If you want to have FUN, hang out with people who are laughing and enjoying life. And so on. ๐๐๐ In business, this means to me: If you want to be successful, spend time with people who are successful. They will rub off on you! (On the flip side, if you hang out with complainers, you become one of them.) ๐ What does the 5x5 rule mean to you? And, does it make you realize that you need to find new people to surround yourself with? Or are you already doing a great job of it?
