SURROUND YOURSELF WITH PEOPLE WHO: Empower you, Believe in you, Support you, Uplift you, Motivate you and Appreciate you. Choose the people around you wisely because they will significantly impact your potential and how successful you become. If you surround yourself with wise people trying to improve and better themselves, those qualities will help push you to improve. On the other hand, if you associate with people who engage in self-destructive habits, those habits will negatively affect you. Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions, especially during these unprecedented times. According to Mark Twain, small people always do that, but the greats make you feel that you, too, can become great. Being around like-minded people will help you reach your goals and, in the process, allow you to become extraordinary.

I've always liked the saying that " If you are the smartest person in the room then you are in the wrong room".

Tia Williams

I built a community for leaders and entrepreneurs that is inclusive, empowering, educational, and supportive. You don't have to do it alone! Become the leader you are destined to be.

So very true. Don’t let people pull you down to their level. Go to another room where the people have already climbed the mountains you are trying to climb. They will lift you over the obstacles that others stumble on

With the primary focus on “you” and what others can do for you, it seems you have missed some critical elements of true leadership which must empower and enrich others. Leaders should have a servant heart not one that is self serving. It is not what other can do for “you” but what you can do for others.

Indeed! You may become exceptional and accomplish your goals by surrounding yourself with like-minded people.
