Been reading The Compound Effect by Darren Hardy, and let me tell you - GREAT TAKE-AWAYS!
What is a takeaway? A snip-it of great ideas/tips/quotes/thoughts/etc that you take away from the reading. Not only do I highlight these, but I have an on-going notebook of all of my takeaways. It's a nice reminder to keep them fresh, and in different places, because the book might be stored away, but if you have it all written down you have a great collection of quotes/thoughts/tips/etc at your fingertips.
Today's take away is from that book, talking about influences in your life - having your own Board of Advisors on areas in life you want to improve on - and asking them to be mentors in those fields for you.
The great thing is, a mentor doesn't have to be in physical form - it can be in DVD/Audiobook/CD/Podcasts/you name it!
If you always keep in mind your top 5 people you associate with you can have a great advantage or a poor disadvantage at how you approach life.
Think of your top 5 - who do you need to remove? Add? Limit your association with?
Tough choices will have to be made, yes, but it's all worth it - the real tough decision is that question: are you willing to make the tough choices for the success you want?
While reviewing this post - I also venture on Youtube, so set my day right :) - I found a Great TED Talk by Eduardo Briceno talking about the Power of Belief: check it out:
Make this day about growth, seeking out your own Board of Advisors, and always keeping that Growth Mindset.
Keep pushing Play,
