The people you surround yourself with will do either of two things:
1- They'll drive you forward
2- They'll get in the way.
On the former, these are folks that help you maintain a high state, reclaim it when it falters, and provide a synergy that is a gift that keeps on giving.
The second group? These people managed to get inside the wall, their alliance no longer produces a synergy, and they refuse to stop benefiting at your expense.
Find more Number 1's...
Whether it's a mindset/strategy group like my Three Roads or just a new group of folks doing the "right" things, functional alliance will always enhance a man's best efforts. Upgrade or repel Number 2's...
The answer to not being able to get the anchor off the floor is never to get a motor strong enough to drag it. The best solution will always be becoming strong enough to pull it up off the floor or, as in most cases, cutting it loose so you can continue your journey.
The saying goes, "Nothing changes if nothing changes".
What isn't mentioned is the strength and clarity you'll need to change it... which is always on YOU.
