If you’re the smartest in the room…

The fastest way to level up your life isn’t to learn more, do more or train harder.

It is merely to be around people doing what you want to do.

Writing every day, making shit tonnes of money, training for the Olympics — There are groups of people doing what you want to do and succeeding.

Here’s why…

🔥 They expect a higher standard as default. By being around winners, you start to adopt those standards. Saying NO to things that aren’t up to scratch demonstrates standards.

🔥 They ask more of themselves, and in turn, you ask more of yourself. Discipline is normal. Consistency is an everyday thing.

🔥 They normalise excellence. You will think, act and be different in a very short space of time. You hold yourself accountable by default.

Here’s how…

💥 If you can’t get around them physically, join an online group or mastermind. I can testify to #ship30in30 being great for writers wanting to write and ship every day.

💥 Pay to play and put some skin in the game. Generally, the more you invest, the harder you play, and the payoff is more significant.

Here’s the truth…

✨ People who you associate with now aren’t holding you back. YOU are holding yourself back because you don’t want to shine too bright.

✨ Getting around the right people gives you permission to shine fully, more than you could ever imagine.

As the saying goes, “if you’re the smartest in the room, you’re in the wrong room.” Get in the right room.
