Napolean Hill, the author of the great classic, “Think and Grow Rich“, wrote about men who were successful, in part because they used mastermind groups.
What are mastermind groups? These are groups of men who gather to talk about life and business (i.e. hang out and shoot the breeze). What Napolean found was that men who were successful typically gathered and shared with men who were also successful and this had the effect of bringing everyone up. Sometimes someone could see something different in a predicament that wasn’t previously seen, or sometimes they would help each other out through referrals to other professionals, or through joint ventures.
And now it’s widely known that, just like you are what you eat, you are who you hang out with. If you want to be rich, powerful, or successful, then you need to associate with like-minded people.
The corrolary to that is if you find yourself frequently in the company of stagnant, bitter and pessimistic people, they will drag you done to their level.
Sometimes you do have to choose your friends and who you hang out with.
