You Are The Average of Your Five
“You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” ― Jim Rohn
In this final step, as you’re hopefully deep into doing Unstoppable Sundays and executing on your life goals, I want to talk to you about your community of friends and family.
Who are the five people you spend the most time with? Are they as growth-minded as you? Are they taking a proactive approach to life? Truth is, unless you support yourself with other growth-minded people, you will not grow. The inertia is just too much.
In an earlier chapter, I mentioned that there are TWO key reasons why people can’t switch from being DABBLERS to DO-ers. There are TWO key reasons why people can’t switch from hoping and dreaming to actually achieving. These are the same TWO key reasons that account for the BEFORE in my life and the AFTER in my life:
The Dabblers don’t have the right actionable framework to go make change happen.
The Dabblers don’t have the people in their lives who push or inspire them to do it.
You need people around you who are constantly pushing you to do more and be more. I’m not talking about hiring an accountability coach, nor do I mean a best friend or partner who nags at you all day. I’m talking about people who are already performing at the level that you want to be at. They’re the ones who are already living the life you want to be living -- and just simply won’t hang out with you unless you step up -- because otherwise you’d just be slowing them down.
I’m not saying that this means you need to get rid of your best friends and family. I’m not. However, what I am saying is that if you want to be performing at a different level, you need to start spending more time with the people who are already performing at that level.
Which is why, as the final step of the book, I’m extending you a personal invitation to join our Unstoppable Life Program & Community: https://getunstoppable.com/life
There’s a reason why I bring this up only at the end. It’s for people who are truly committed to becoming the best version of themselves and who are starting out on that journey — just like you.
In order for you to succeed in becoming Unstoppable, you must take stock of the people in your life and start to level up.
Now remember what we said about this book! This book is not meant to be a piece of art that sits on your bookshelf or one that just gets forgotten. So grab a pen, and let’s work through what we’ve talked about in this chapter.
