171: How to Surround Yourself with Success (and Why It Matters!)
Ever notice how one conversation can make you want to take on the world, and another can make you want a nap?
Today I share a personal story from one of my own side hustles - buying a deli that was going out of business, to illustrate how the people you surround yourself with can directly shape your mindset, energy, and success.
You’ll learn how to recognize whether your current circle is fueling your vision or quietly holding you back, what to do when that negativity comes from someone you care about, and practical ways to intentionally build an environment that keeps you inspired and moving forward.
If you’ve ever struggled to stay positive when those around you aren’t quite on the same wavelength, this episode will help you protect your energy, upgrade your circle, and attract the kind of people who help you thrive.
You’ll Learn:
- How your environment and relationships directly influence your results
- Why even well-meaning people can unknowingly hold you back
- The story of how a struggling deli turned profitable through mindset and community
- What to do when a negative friend or family member drains your energy
- The five-step framework to intentionally upgrade your circle
- A simple trick Joan used to stay privately focused on her goals
- Why being the positive, encouraging person in someone else’s life can elevate your own
