The people you surround yourself with, but they're peers. What does that mean? People on your levelrig on your level, which way, horizontally? They could be similar to you in a million different ways and then differet in other ways. So the point i'm trying to make here is this, when you're not in business and you go into business, those people are no longer your peer group. You're outgrowing thatok? When you earn a hundred thousand dollars a year, you're probably going to be around other anchpaneures that are earning the same amount. That's just human nature.
Peer pressure can make you or break you. Your peer group largely determines your success in both business and life. So it is critical to choose your friends wisely. Do they influence you to dominate--or do nothing?
