I act weird when I get out of movies.Hi. Iandapos;m Daniel Fox, business growth speaker and coach. And today I want to talk a little bit about the influences we surround ourselves with.Thereand#39;s this thing that happens inevitably when Iand#39;m walking back to the car with the kids or whomever Iand#39;m out with, and Iand#39;ll start mimicking one of the characters in the movie.My whole affect changes. My body language, my actual language, my gait, my tone of voice, even my accent.Sometimes I canand#39;t get out of it. I get stuck in character!So listen, I know thatand#39;s weird and I donand#39;t expect that everyone is as susceptible to that as me, but itand#39;s something that Iand#39;ve decided to consciously use to my advantage.But maybe youand#39;ve heard this idea? and#34;You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.and#34; Itand#39;s a Jim Rohn quote.The culmination of these two ideas inspired me to engage in an old practice of consciously curating what I take in.The conscious part comes when I start asking questions:
What are my goals? 
Do I want a life similar to the person Iand#39;m listening to (and not just money, or influence, but heart and relationships and social impact and joy)?This goes for media as well as personal relationships. I want my peers to be the most successful, biggest hearted, most joyful, smart and kind people that I can find - and that has become my standard.I absolutely will hang out with people who donand#39;t have their shit together in all those ways, and thatand#39;s because I value teaching and mentoring other people, (just like I have teachers and mentors).So I keep looking at the lives of the people closest to me and the media I consume because if Iand#39;m not careful, Iand#39;ll end up walking around in a diaper with a dog best friend talking in a pseudo-British accent about taking over the world and no one wants that.Wanna learn more about how to create a 6-figure business or add another 6-figures to your bottom line?
