Why you should ditch most of your friends

You'd probably never guess it but, The Aussie Hermit likes to be alone.

I know, I know - hard to believe.

A guy that spends 95% of his time in a Man Cave, is called “The Aussie Hermit,” and that does virtually all his marketing via email likes to be alone.

But alas, it’s true.

And what’s also true is that it wasn’t always like this.

You see, I had friends.

Lots of friends.

But then I started to take a different tack to most in life…

I quit my safe, corporate career.

I built a business.

And I live a life 99.9% will never attain (not because they can’t, but because they believe they can’t).

And when that happened I realised I had less and less in common with those around me. Even long time friends. Where they were gossiping about what’s happening in other people’s lives, I was more interested in transformation people’s lives.

And maybe you're the same?

Maybe, when you started on this entrepreneurial journey you found out that most of the friends you thought were friends, no longer "got" you.

They didn't understand your passion, or your mission, or why you wanted to build a business that actually impacts lives.

But also…

Maybe you didn't understand why they were happy staying the same?

You didn’t get them.

I’m not sure where I’m going with this, only to say…

That's just the way life is.

You have to accept it as a business owner and as someone who's chasing their dream.

You also have to accept that these people, even if they're long time friends, may not be the best people to hang out with anymore. Otherwise, they can bring you down.

It's very true that saying…

“You're the average of the 5 people you hang around most.”

And so, you've got to be careful with who you're giving your time to. If you want to be successful, you’d be wise to spend your time with “A-Players” who’ve built the type of business you want to build. That’s who The Aussie Hermit hangs out with now (when, on occasion, I crawl out of The Man Cave).

And it’s what has enabled me to quadruple my income in the last 12 months alone.

Bottom line:

Ditch the friends that bring you down.

Find A-Players who will lift you up.

Do that, and you’ll have given yourself a huge advantage in building the business you want.

P.S. Other than finding A-Players to hang out with, another sound “success principle” is having a proven system to deliver you clients when you want them.
