Moving Away from Negative Influences

Having coached hundreds of folks – a common roadblock I see are people that unknowingly surround themselves with negative influence.  Negative influence can mean many things.  The negative influences I’m referring to are basically the people who have decided who you are and what you’re capable of doing based on what they perceive of you.  They are the judges who contribute in no other way but give their point of view which is generally discouraging.  When you have a dream in your heart – be very aware of who you choose to surround yourself with.  Who are the people in your life right now that have already pre-judged you and will continue to judge you?  They may be colleagues, friends and even family members.  Unless they have a stake in your dream, ie: they are helping you with start up capital or they are a partner in your business - the brutal truth is you need to limit your exposure to their negativity.  Negativity attracts negativity and that is why so many new entrepreneurs cannot get past their own mindset.  Now, I’m not saying go out there and cut off those people in your life – absolutely not.  Just have a heightened awareness of how much time you may be spending with negative influencers and recognize the source of where their judgments come from.  No one can tell you what you are capable of achieving.  Only you can decide that.  Stay true to your dreams and resonate with those people who support you mentally, emotionally and spiritually.  Get Ready, Get Inspired! - GD
