Be awesome yourself and search for other like minded wonderful people!
2015 & 2016 were great years for me making decisions to create a new success stone. If you go back through some of my old blogs from that era; I was expending lots of energy on the wrong people.
I am way happier today than I was then and with total humour in reflection – some of my blogs reflected the ‘stress’ I was putting on myself on those days. I now look back and laugh at my older self in the sense of how I not only let the wrong people get close to me, but I left them have such a great impact on me.
I can look anyone in the eye these days and say I am surrounded by awesome people, because I am! The people I have in my community & life these days are incredible and it honestly came as a result of trying to be the ‘Right Crowd’ myself and consciously moving in the right direction.
Interestingly as I walked from the station back to my home this evening, I actually walked passed someone from that era that actually caused me quite a bit of damage and stress. In one of the networking environments I used to enjoy, they felt I was on ‘their turf’ and did the Corporate Usual and worked behind the scenes against me.
It actually accelerated the chain of events that led me in the direction of the awesome NSW Business Chamber, British Chamber and getting my own events powerful and profitable. I don’t even think about them anymore and in seeing them I did my best to avoid them (I didn’t want any trouble).
The tried to say hello, I gave my trademarked ‘Edward Zia / Dark Vader’ death stare that makes anyone back off. As I walked back, I kind of reflected on those days were this person caused me lots of trouble and how much better my life is with them just not in it.
It reaffirmed my key lesson in that one must actively move towards the right crowd. In my case, I have done my best to create it by walking the talk and hanging with the right people.
It’s paid off! I am happier, the business is more profitable, referrals come thick and fast with life just being wonderful.
My advice and thinking? The wrong people will cost you money time and stress. Avoid them! Be wonderful yourself, move as quickly as you can from those who cause you (and others) trouble and smile).
It’s well worth it!
Love your work, thank you for the read, here’s to the right crowd and stay awesome!
