This Doesn’t Make You a Bad Friend
Summary
- When I first joined a business mastermind, my business was struggling and earning less money than others in the group.
- After 12 months, our business and I had grown significantly.
- During the second meetup, I noticed that 65-75% of the people still had the same problems as before.
- I realized I don’t want to associate with people who haven’t progressed in a year.
- Many people knew what to do to fix their issues but lacked the effort, not the skill.
- Associating with people who don’t put in effort can negatively affect your own growth.

How To Take Action
I would suggest implementing a few key strategies to grow your business or boost personal growth. These are easy to do and won't take up too much time or money.
Join a Business Mastermind
When I first joined a business mastermind, my business was struggling. However, engaging with other business owners helped me gain new insights and strategies. Find a local or online mastermind group, start interacting, and share your challenges. You’ll learn a lot and grow faster.
Assess Your Progress Regularly
After 12 months, our business saw significant growth. Sit down every few months and review your progress. Are you solving the problems you set out to tackle? Adjust your strategies if you're not.
Choose Your Circle Wisely
I realized that many people had the same issues they had a year ago, mainly due to lack of effort. Surround yourself with people who are proactive and making progress. Their energy and diligence will rub off on you.
Effort Over Skill
Many people knew what to do but weren’t putting in the effort. Focus on being consistent and putting in the work. Skills can be learned, but effort is all about mindset and discipline. Make sure you’re truly committed to making changes.
Set Clear Goals and Act
Write down clear and achievable goals. Break them into smaller tasks you can tackle daily or weekly. The clearer your path, the easier it will be to put in the effort needed to achieve your goals.
