The company we keep determines our success

In partnership with

Hi friend, how are you?

Who do you spend the most waking hours with?
Who are the 5 people that you spend the most physical time with?

The studies on this are countless, but it’s the “McClelland Study” out of Harvard that’s recognized as the go to for this
What Dr David McClelland found after a 25 year study was that 95% of our success’s are determined by who we hang out with
When I was in college I had a professor, he had a saying::
“Birds of a feather flock together”

Another highly regarded study on social groups is the “Framingham Heart Study”
In that one health patterns were tracked amongst friend groups
While people’s physical appearances and conditions vary person to person, the study concluded that we humans take on the habits and then the consequences of the friends we spend the most time with ( Who wants to meet for a “Walk and Talk”? )

These don’t even touch the aspects in “The Social Comparison Theory”
Way back when, a long time ago, I fell into that trap more than once myself
That one talks about comparing our selves to others

Comedian / Actor Steve Harvey gave a talk
He talked about what happens to men after their fathers die
He talked about how our fathers are / were the only man in our lives that wanted to see us succeed more than they did. I don’t agree with that 110% but I’m not naïve and recognize that there is some truth to it

In my own life I’ve known guys that may not of wanted to see my fail, but they didn’t want to see me or anyone else elevate higher than them either

Do you remember last week when I spoke about how some people don’t listen in conversations, they just wait for you to stop so they can talk?
Often times it’s those same people that do that that are the ones that don’t want to see you succeed past what they’ve done
And you might also recall, about 2 years ago I made a decision to make a change who I spend time with, I have no regrets about that one

Again, who are the 5 that you spend the most time with?
Who are the ones that are growing themselves?
Who are the ones that inspire you?
Who are the ones that want to see you to succeed even more than you do at times?
My hope for you is that those are the people that you have in your 5

Invest wisely, live charitably and be well
