“Don’t let your past friendships or connections drag you down. If you do, you’ll be stuck... You need to decide whether to stay the same person to keep these relationships, or to evolve into a better version of yourself, even if that means letting some of them go” - Epictetus

The company you keep shapes who you become.

If you surround yourself with people who pull you down or encourage complacency, you risk staying stuck, or even regressing.

Growth often requires hard choices, like distancing yourself from those who don’t align with your goals.

In sales, thriving means seeking out motivated peers and mentors who inspire and challenge you.

A supportive environment can be the difference between staying stagnant and leveling up. Like Rocky Balboa, sometimes changing your surroundings is the first step to success.

Choose wisely, your circle determines your trajectory.

Actionable tips:

• Are the people around you helping you grow, or are they holding you back? Make changes to your circle where necessary.
• Find people who inspire and challenge you to be better. Try to find yourself a mentor who will push you to your best.
• If colleagues or clients consistently bring negativity, find ways to minimise contact and protect your mindset.

Remember you will die.
