209: Warning: Unpopular Opinion - Successful Biz Buds Actually Hurt You And Psyche You Out in Business
UNPOPULAR OPINION: Hanging out with ACHIEVERS is actually HURTING you {psychologically}!
Facebook Post where you can write and share your thoughts:
We all know the whole 'you are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with' saying -- I retell it all the time, myself!
But, I realized recently how doing this can actually hurt us too. Now, before anyone jumps to write a scathing comment in rebuttal, hear me out...
HOW IT HURTS
You see your hardworking, successful business buddies start podcasts, write books, and speak on stage. So, you think and feel like "everyone is doing it."
You then think and feel "it's too late for me," "I missed the boat," or "I'll never be as good as they are, plus they got such a head start, so I won't do it."
SO, YOUR PERCEPTION IS SKEWED
The truth actually is that you are just hanging out with go-getters.
Most people do NOT start podcasts, write books, or speak on stage.
Most people consume but do not create.
Most people overthink but do not take action.
And, more and more -- did I mention MORE? -- people are coming online every single day looking for the solutions you offer. Looking for YOUR style of speaking or writing. YOUR examples and lessons learned. YOUR wacky humor or calm speaking voice.
HOW TO FIX
So, I would never advise hanging out with losers to combat this misperception and get you back to reality. The side effects would be too negative.
The recipe simply is to recognize where you are. You are in a GREAT place if this post resonates with you.
- You have a great crew around you. Keep it up.
- Just because your buds are rockin' it does NOT mean there isn't space and a huge -- and increasing -- demand for your unique twist and style. Audit your thoughts, audit your feelings...and reframe.
- Do the thing. You know what it is. Do it.
