We’ve talked about how to create a positive mental attitude, set your goal, generate a passionate purpose and take action. Now let’s talk about something that’s extremely important to your success. It’s called the Law of Association.

What do I mean by that? I’m talking about the people that you spend time with. It’s very, very important to understand the concept of influence. Too many people underestimate the power of influence. There are two words that most accurately describe influence.

Influence is: 1) powerful and 2) subtle. The influence of those you spend time with is going to have an incredible effect on your success or failure.

You’ve heard the phrase “peer pressure.” Peer pressure is simply the people you associate with applying their influence to move you toward their way of thinking. Influence is powerful because it’s so subtle.

This may shock you but you will become like the five people you hang out with most.

You will emulate their behaviors. You will take on their attitudes. You will even ” within a few percent ” have the same financial position. Don’t believe me? Stop and think about it…

When Mark Victor Hansen (co-author of Chicken Soup for the Soul and One Minute Millionaire) asked Tony Robbins how he was able to earn over 50 million each year, Tony asked him about the people in his master mind group. Mark replied that those in his group made 3-5 million per year - what Mark was earning. Tony said, people in his master mind made no less than 100 million per year.

Improve your circle of influence and you’ll improve your attitude, your financial situation and your lifestyle.

Here’s what starts to happen. If you associate with people who spend more than they make, chances are excellent that you will also. If you hang out with people who don’t talk about money and have a poor financial attitude, then chances are pretty good that you will have the same attitude and outlook.

You won’t let someone else yank you off course and wreck your life but you will let them nudge you off course - because it’s so subtle you don’t notice it until it’s too late.

They’ll suggest you off course - a little bit at a time - until years from now you’ll be saying, “How did I get here?” or “Why aren’t I rich yet?”

It’s imperative that you examine your associations and begin to migrate away from negative people and move toward positive people. Move away from people who don’t believe in setting goals and migrate toward people who understand that without setting goals you’ll be right where you are 5 years from now.

Move away from debt position people - who buy liabilities - and move toward people with rich lifestyles who invest in assets. Move away from people who’s biggest passion in life is to get a new car every few years and seek out those who desire to help others with their efforts.

Building the correct circle of influence will catapult you to financial freedom far faster than any other thing you can do. By finding a mentor and 2 other marketing partners I was able to generate over $10,000 in just 18 days to buy my children, Tyler and Destiny, new digital hearing aids.

Your circle of influence is your future. Take a look around and see what your future looks like?
