In 1954, Roger Bannister ran a mile in under 4 minutes.

Before him, nobody thought that was possible.

Today, more than a thousand runners have done it.

Bannister showed how far the bar could be raised, inspiring his peers to reach further.

Do your friends inspire you to take your business to new heights?

Do they stretch you?

Seeing their achievements inspires you to reach further...

Challenge you?

To be serious about your business and do the hard work to improve it...

Set an example to follow?

They’re bold... They do what they say they’re going to do... They’re constantly learning...

Or do they cut you down?

Make you feel guilty for earning good money, or taking a well-earned day off...

Hold you back?

From growing your business, increasing prices, or prioritizing more profitable work...

Make you feel bad for having ambition and drive?

They don’t really want you to have success, because it makes them feel inadequate...

The people you hang out with most have a huge impact on the success of your business.

If you’re not happy with the results you’re getting, taking a look at who you surround yourself with is an important step.
