If You Want To Fly Like An Eagle, Then Stop Hanging Out With Turkeys!
Success-bound people tend to hang out with fellow travelers and those who have already achieved a modicum of success or much more. To do anything less is to lock yourself into marginal results and mountains of unhappiness and regret as we age. Because you become who you spend time with, anyone hoping for success must surround themselves with other success oriented people. Success oriented people will help you, by providing you with ideas, support, confidence, contacts and resources. The peak of this is the Mastermind group. The Mastermind concept is best described by Napoleon Hill in his best selling book Think and Grow Rich , as:
Coordination of knowlege and effort, in a spirit of harmony between two or more people, for the attainment of a definite purpose.
In practice, a Mastermind group typically consists of 2-10 people working together for the mutual gain of the entire group. The Mastermind concept is so powerful because, as again said by Hill:
No two minds ever come together without, thereby, creating a third, invisible, intangible force which may be likened to a third mind.
This third mind concept is multiplied exponentially as the group grows, allowing the achievement of goals undreamable by the individuals if they acted seperately. Hill also points out that:
No individual can have great power, wealth or influence in this world without availing himself or herself of the Mastermind Principle.
So make the choice to stand with other minds like yourself. The choice to hang out with the eagles, and not with the turkeys. Soar rather than gobble gobble around the farmyard keeping your head low. Find your niche, your special place in the world, and follow through. Stake your claim to excellence starting NOW.
