Succeed by Finding the Right People

Description

I was in Tokyo with McConnell for the first meetup of the NEW Japan Lair, which he is leading and Kane Vast, our main man in China, who came to join us for the Tokyo Approach Mastery boot camp (Congrats to the new guys!)

Despite our busy schedule and a late night emergency room visit, we found time to sit down together to record a session.

In this one, we talk about how important it is to find the right people to support and help you make the changes in your life to reach your goals, including:

You're the average of the 5 people most around
Outgrow the box your "friends" keep you in
Why you have to yank out the emotional triggers they use to control you
Upgrade your life with new mental models
Why you'll feel uncomfortable at first with the right people
How to weigh the knowledge and experience other people have to offer
You can't make the right people, you have to find them
Find people who will support new habits–and stay away from those who support your worst tendencies
How the right community can keep you moving toward your goals
Why you need to always raise your hand
and a whole lot more…
