Psychology says that you are an average of the 5 closest people you have in your life.
Your income, your quality of life, the magnitude of your problems, and your lifestyle. All of this is the average of the 5 people who are closest to you.
The problem is, we relate, associate, and connect with people in a similar state as us. If I were to give it a term, I would call this India’s favorite game- dukhi dukhi khelna.
I, on the contrary, suggest that one of the best ways to grow as an entrepreneur and an individual is by associating yourself with people who are operating at a higher level than you, who are driven, and who are solution seekers.
Because when you associate yourself with people who have a burning desire to constantly move forward, it automatically drives you to function at a higher energy level. It drives you towards seeking solutions and will agitate you to grow faster. I call this power of association5.
