Being an entrepreneur is not easy. We absolutely need all the support we can get, and this means deliberately creating that support.
In an article I wrote a couple of years ago, I offered that the people we surround ourselves with determine our level of success.? Like the natural flow of a body of water, we also elevate or drop to the level of our peers.
?
Consider these questions:
- How are the relationships of those folks with whom you spend the most time?
- What are the political views of the people with whom you spend the most time?
- How is the business growth or sales performance of the entrepreneurs with whom you regularly associate? Do they have the business or the finances or the network or the sales experience that you want to have?
?
There?s a verse in the Bible book of Provers (27:17) that reads:? ?As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.?
?
For that to occur out of intention rather than by chance requires regularly evaluating whether your most intimate friends and colleagues are supporting you in the matters that are important to you.
?
Are your relationships mutually challenging and inspiring you to greatness?
?
If not, how can you cultivate these relationships?
If they are, how can you strengthen the bonds you have and stretch yourself to cultivate new relationships with people who are 2 or 3 or more steps ahead of where you want to be?

My friend, the Sales Strategist Lori Richardson, created a short 3 1/2-minute video that I?d like to share with you now where she offers 3 steps for creating the environment for success that we all seek.
The great thing about Lori?s tips is they are simple, easy-to-implement, and have measurable impact on increasing business success.

How are you going to put to use the 3 strategies Lori outlined in her video?
When?
