In reply to Dave Unger. So true Dave. A rising tide raises all ships.

Hmm. Sounds like John Maxwell’s “Law of the Inner Circle.” The people we surround ourselves with will pull us up or down to their level.

The fastest way to get good at something? Hang out with people who are good at it already.

The surest way to greater accomplishments? Hang out with people who are presently accomplishing great things.

In reply to Dave Unger. That's such a great point Dave. The people we engage with have a huge influence on us. I've heard it said that we are the average of the 5 people we spend the most time with. Let's hope we all have a high average.

Positive encouragement from supportive people. The number one way for me to get out of a rut mentally, emotionally, or behaviorally has been to surround myself with upbeat, dynamic people who are doing new things each day. Knowing that, I try to specifically encourage the people around me to push beyond their boundaries. Doing that builds collective momentum.

Excellent Nick – it’s amazing how just simply starting begins to open up new possibilities we didn’t see previously. So glad to hear things are coming together for you. Keep me updated on your progress.

Simply starting. I have been putting off a search for something new for far too long. Now that I have actually begun the search and begun moving, things are falling quickly into place. Thanks, Adam!

In reply to Dianne Drinkard. That's fantastic Dianne. You're so right, taking action overcomes the resistance every time. It sounds like you're doing a great job of moving forward toward your career goals. Thanks for your comment.

Action, massive action! I just updated my resume, jumping ahead a bit in the 48 days homework, and applied to 3 jobs on the ground floor of my passion! If that doesn’t work, I’ll do something else! I just ignored the “voice of the resistance”, or at least said to myself, “Really? I can’t do that? I must!” Action always breaks down the walls of resistance, it doesn’t give it time to talk!
