186 | You Are The Associations You Have

In this episode, we have Cat and Andy insightfully talk about the essence of thoughtfully choosing your associations. As the famous adage says, “You are the average of the top five people that you hang out with the most.” They also talked about the concept of having a thermostat, and how relationships vary in length and levels. 

 

Listen in and by the end of the episode, you will learn one technique you can use to build your mastermind group to achieve the person you want to be.

Quotes:

“The People [That] You're Associating With Are Going To Influence How You Move Forward.”

“We Feel, At Least, Balanced In The Sense That We're Choosing The Space That We're In, And We're Choosing The People That We're With. So, It's Very Important That We're The Ones That Are Doing That Selecting.”

“Being Very Selective Of Who You Let In, And Almost Realizing If It Doesn't Work, Trying To Figure Out Why It Doesn't Work.”

“Various Relationships Are Going To Have Varying Lengths. And It Just Depends On The Type Of Person That You Would Like To Be.”
