Why It Matters Who You Surround Yourself WIth

Why It Matters Who You Surround Yourself WIth

Who do you spend your time with? In this episode, 96. Why It Matters Who You Surround Yourself With, I encourage you to evaluate who and what you are surrounding yourself with. My hope is that you can see, after listening, just how big of a role this plays into who we are and how successful we become in life and in our businesses. 

Why It Matters Who You Surround Yourself With

In this episode, I cover the following:

  • Who we surround ourselves with really makes all the difference. Who are the 5 people you are around most? What are they like? You are the sum of the five you are around the most. 
  • What do you want the future of your business to be? I talk about the importance of surrounding yourself with people who can get you to where you want to be and that can see your potential. Being around people who are a couple of steps ahead of you is huge to help you get into the mind-frame of what’s possible. They can help you know how to get there. 
  • How having an outside set of eyes looking at your business can make a huge difference in your business. We are so blind to our own business and are sometimes too up-close because it is our baby. Taking advice, from the right qualified individuals, will lead you to where you want to be.
  • We are always marketing. When it comes to sharing about yourself, make sure you do it right and are not all about you. For example: If you are sharing on your website in the About Me section, makes sure it’s a brief origin story followed by how that affects them. Relate to your customer and show them how you can solve a problem. 
  • Finding your people and how they can support you emotionally, see the best in you, be sincere and help you improve. How do people around you handle frustration? Find people who will not dwell on the negative, and who will help you turn things around. 
  • Who we surround ourselves with greatly impacts who we are and how we view the world. IF you don’t like who you are around, you can change that! Make a list of things that are important to you. How you want to show up. What attributes to you like in others and want to see in yourself? You are the sum of the people you hang around. Surround yourself with those kind of people that will encourage you to be your best and find success.

hello welcome to episode 96 of the craft
0:20
a career podcast I am Elizabeth Chapel
0:22
of Quilter’s candy and I am the host of
0:25
the show and today I’m talking about
0:27
something that’s been on my radar
0:29
recently and has really come to the
0:31
Forefront that I’ve seen in my life and
0:34
the lives of those around me and I
0:36
cannot wait to tell you more and to
0:39
share something that can really change
0:41
your life both your business and your
0:44
personal life this topic is who we
0:48
surround ourselves with
0:49
have you ever stepped back to look at
0:53
who you spend time with like a lot of
0:57
time it could be your friends family it
1:00
could even be you know the podcast that
1:02
you listen to the books that you’re
1:03
reading
1:05
that counts too
1:07
but doing an evaluation of who we are
1:10
surrounding ourselves with and just how
1:12
big of a role this plays and Who We Are
1:15
it’s actually crazy like it makes me
1:18
want to just go and find
1:21
I don’t know the most amazing people in
1:23
the world and be like can we just hang
1:25
out every day because I this is super
1:27
powerful
1:28
so let’s dive in and first I’m gonna
1:31
share what Darren Hardy said so Darren
1:34
Hardy’s the author of The Compound
1:35
Effect
1:36
and I follow him on Instagram he’s a
1:40
very successful business owner and he
1:42
shares a lot of great information so
1:45
there’s a reel that he had and I’ll
1:46
leave a link to this in the show notes
1:49
so if you want to see the actual reel
1:50
from Darren Hardy’s own mouth you can go
1:53
to quilterscandy.com forward slash 96
1:55
and you can get the link to that
1:58
so Darren says
2:00
if you hang around five wise people you
2:04
will become the sixth if you hang around
2:07
five multi-millionaires you will become
2:11
the sixth
2:12
if you hang around five idiots you will
2:15
become the sixth he says we evolve to
2:19
become the things that we see hear and
2:21
do on a consistent basis do you want to
2:25
see your future he asks look at your
2:27
friends
2:28
so wow like do you want your future to
2:34
be
2:36
like what your friends have what their
2:38
lives are their attitudes their
2:40
everything is that what you want for
2:42
your future
2:44
if you can say yes then perfect that’s
2:47
great
2:48
stay where you are
2:50
if not
2:51
and that it’s so hard it’s easier said
2:53
than done right like no I’ll just get
2:55
new friends but really who we surround
2:58
ourselves with really makes a difference
3:00
like it makes all the difference it is
3:03
it’s our future
3:05
and I have seen this this year so as you
3:09
know if you’ve listened to uh the past
3:11
couple episodes ago I had Stacy tushel
3:13
on and I am in her Mastermind this year
3:17
and we’re gonna just talk in regards to
3:20
business right now but as far as my
3:23
business goes I have consistently taken
3:26
a class had a mentor joined a mastermind
3:29
put myself in a surrounding with people
3:32
who are a couple steps ahead of me
3:34
because that’s the future I wanted for
3:37
my business I wanted to reach this
3:39
potential and the first time this
3:43
happened
3:44
I took a course and I realized holy cow
3:47
this person is making that much money
3:48
and it just opened my mind to this
3:52
business idea that wow there’s actually
3:56
a lot more out there I had set the bar
3:58
really low and I was okay with that and
4:01
it that’s okay if you’re like no I’m
4:03
okay with earning x amount per year I
4:05
don’t have Ambitions for more than that
4:08
that’s totally fine but for me I was
4:10
like wait a minute there’s more that I
4:13
could be earning
4:15
in fact there is no cap you know the
4:18
first time I vocalized out loud I want
4:19
to earn a million dollars a year with my
4:21
business
4:22
I didn’t dare he let anyone else hear it
4:25
like even just vocalizing it even just
4:27
thinking it I was like who am I how dare
4:30
I how could I but then to own that
4:34
and now it’s it it will happen and and
4:38
then what you know then there’s more
4:39
after that after that
4:41
um and so being surrounded by people who
4:44
are getting that kind of success where
4:46
that’s very normal it’s not like no
4:48
that’s crazy you can’t do that it’s like
4:50
oh yeah no you can and here here’s how
4:53
it changes everything just to open your
4:56
mind to the idea to accepting and
4:59
believing that that’s a reality
5:02
and not just someone else’s but that is
5:05
mine that will be my future
5:08
um it’s very very beyond powerful like
5:11
it changes your entire the way you look
5:13
at things
5:14
and even before I joined my Mastermind I
5:17
hopped on a one-on-one coaching call
5:20
and just to chat with this coach to tell
5:23
them uh here’s where I’m at here’s where
5:25
I want to get and have them throw out
5:27
some ideas what if you tried this what
5:29
if you did this
5:30
it I was like oh wow okay and then for
5:34
them to say just do it and so I did I
5:38
opened up these things and did that and
5:40
that and it worked and it pushed me to
5:43
where I would not have done that had
5:45
someone not been there to a suggest it
5:49
and then B pushed me and encourage me to
5:52
do that thing
5:53
so being around the people who are
5:57
having the kind of success that you want
5:59
to have or even who are a couple steps
6:01
ahead of you
6:02
is huge really even just to to get you
6:06
in the mind frame of what’s possible
6:08
that you really can have more and then
6:12
the tangible but how how do I get there
6:15
sure you can like you know manifest and
6:19
believe all you want but you need to
6:21
know some tangible things of like but
6:23
how does one do that and so to have
6:26
someone who can guide you and help you
6:27
with that
6:28
also I have noticed the importance of I
6:33
how do I say this
6:34
an outside set of eyes looking at my
6:36
business so I’ve shared this story
6:39
before and I don’t even remember now if
6:41
it was on the podcast or where so if
6:43
you’ve heard this just uh stick with me
6:46
but I you know I coach people and I
6:49
teach people on how to run a successful
6:52
business and one of the things that I
6:55
really encourage people to do
6:57
is to not focus on yourself when you are
7:02
marketing so and when your Market you’re
7:04
marketing all the time so let’s say that
7:06
you have an about me page on your
7:08
website which I hope you do
7:10
in the about me page it should be in
7:12
first person and you should tell a
7:15
little bit of your origin story how you
7:17
got to have this business however here’s
7:20
the fine line
7:22
when you are marketing when you’re
7:24
talking to your customers
7:26
you only want to share that in regards
7:29
to how it affects them
7:32
a lot of business owners get into this
7:34
trap if you will this idea of
7:37
oh let me share my story and it goes on
7:40
and on and on and honestly we as human
7:43
beings were very selfish beings we
7:46
really don’t want to hear about a
7:49
business owner’s origin story unless it
7:52
somehow has some sort of implication in
7:55
my life that affects me for the better
7:58
so on your about me page you can say for
8:02
me for example I could say something
8:04
like when I first started quilting it
8:07
was a little bit lonely I realized I
8:09
wanted companionship but I I was in my
8:11
quilting room alone at night sewing so I
8:14
realized I could start a membership and
8:16
I’d worded it differently than this I
8:18
wanted to have a community of friends to
8:20
join in projects with and to share what
8:22
we’re doing together
8:24
that’s why I created the Quilters candy
8:26
membership come and join me in the
8:28
membership be my friend let’s hang out
8:30
together so all of a sudden yes I’m
8:32
sharing my origin story of why I started
8:34
this thing but ever so briefly one or
8:37
two sentences and I’m framing it in a
8:40
way that’s like
8:42
but I did this because of this common
8:44
problem that you can relate to as well
8:47
and I’ve solved that problem for you so
8:50
here’s the product and this is the
8:53
problem that I’m solving so really that
8:56
that’s so keep that in mind when I’m
8:58
sharing this story
9:00
so I hired a copywriter I had a welcome
9:03
sequence email and I I went through this
9:07
whole formula that they share of share
9:09
this in the first email this and the
9:10
second this is the third and then the
9:11
fourth this is when you sell your thing
9:13
and I could see the open and the click
9:15
rates it was going very very well until
9:18
that fourth email when I was selling
9:20
something and I know enough to know that
9:24
that shouldn’t be happening if you’re
9:25
doing it right if you’re formulating
9:28
your email and wording it in the right
9:30
way it should be selling but no it was
9:33
the unsubscribe rate went up high people
9:36
weren’t buying
9:37
no that’s not how it’s that’s not how
9:40
it’s supposed to be so I hired a
9:42
copywriter and I had her come in and
9:44
take a look at my email sequence and in
9:47
that email where I was selling
9:49
it was about my origin story
9:52
and she was like oh okay well here’s
9:55
your problem it’s all about you it
9:57
doesn’t have anything to do with your
9:59
customer
10:00
do you know how
10:02
stupid I felt I was like what the this
10:05
is what I teach people on but unless
10:09
you’re lest you listen and you’re like
10:11
oh great Elizabeth doesn’t know what
10:12
she’s talking about the moral of this
10:14
story is we are so blind to our own
10:18
business we’re so up close to it that we
10:22
can’t see the details so this as much as
10:25
I can look at someone else’s business
10:27
and it’s very clear to me oh we need to
10:29
fix this right here when it comes to my
10:32
own business I need another set of eyes
10:34
someone who’s not so up close I need
10:38
them to be able to look at it and and
10:40
point out things that I’m blind to and
10:43
this is not I’m not alone every Mentor
10:46
that I have has a mentor they they hire
10:49
someone they have a friend that they
10:51
reach out to before a launch hey can you
10:53
look over this copy how is this because
10:56
no matter how good of a business owner
10:59
you are
11:01
we are just we’re too in the details
11:03
we’re too up close it’s too personal we
11:06
cannot see I mean to a degree but there
11:09
are things that we just are blind to
11:10
because it’s our baby it’s our own thing
11:12
and so this is another reason why it
11:15
matters who we surround ourselves with
11:18
and a note of caution here
11:21
everyone loves to give advice I see this
11:24
with group coaching calls someone will
11:27
share I have this new idea and all of a
11:30
sudden people start pitching and oh you
11:31
should do this you should do this they
11:33
weren’t even looking for suggestions but
11:36
everyone loves to give their suggestions
11:39
so that’s even without asking people are
11:42
giving advice if you go to somebody and
11:44
say hey can you give me your feedback on
11:45
this they’ll give you their feedback
11:48
but be selective whose feedback you are
11:52
asking for and whose feedback you take
11:54
because I’ve definitely heard some
11:57
people dish out some bad business advice
11:59
I’m like oh oh don’t do that or even
12:03
someone who is in a position where
12:05
they actually did a lot of really great
12:07
things but one of the things they said
12:09
it just happened yesterday I was on a
12:11
group coaching call not with Stacy’s
12:13
mess around but a different program that
12:15
I’m in because I’m in all the things
12:17
um
12:18
but one of the coaches gave some advice
12:21
about a niche being too narrow and I was
12:23
like oh no no no no no it was actually
12:26
someone who um is teaching music lessons
12:30
to autistic kids and he was like I think
12:33
that’s too Niche and I it was not my
12:36
place to be like you’re wrong but but in
12:38
my mind and here on my podcast
12:41
um
12:42
I just couldn’t disagree more so be so
12:45
careful Whose advice you take and if
12:48
something doesn’t resonate with you seek
12:51
a second opinion from someone who you
12:54
trust someone who’s A good rule of thumb
12:56
as someone who is a few steps ahead of
12:58
you who actually has the success that
13:01
you want to have because they’ve walked
13:03
the walk they have done the things that
13:05
you need to do in order to have that
13:07
kind of success so they will have
13:09
experience under their belt if it’s you
13:11
know the blind leading the blind if it’s
13:13
someone who has not gotten there and
13:16
there it’s just ideas or oh I read a
13:17
book that tells me this or I heard
13:19
someone say don’t don’t do that
13:22
follow someone who actually is there is
13:26
in a place where you want to be because
13:28
like I said people love to give advice
13:30
but you want to take advice from
13:32
qualified individuals
13:35
so that’s what you know with our
13:37
business it’s so crucial to surround
13:40
yourself with with people who are going
13:43
to lift you up and cheer you on and
13:45
support you and guide you and help you
13:47
see what’s possible for you
13:50
and also emotionally
13:52
so not only am I a part of Mastermind a
13:56
mastermind I host my own Mastermind
13:59
which has been such a fun thing to do
14:02
like I knew that this group of people
14:04
would be my people this year and it’s
14:06
only February and I we are we’re these
14:09
are like my friends and
14:11
in the last couple of weeks each one of
14:14
us has gone through a pretty hard time
14:19
um either with business or emotionally
14:21
you know which affects our business
14:23
and what has been really interesting for
14:26
me to see is that each one of us feels
14:29
like what we’re going through is very
14:31
unique
14:32
and that our struggles it can feel very
14:35
isolating when you’re going through a
14:36
hard time it is hard right it’s just and
14:40
if you don’t have a support system
14:42
it’s even harder but for us to come
14:45
together and to realize
14:47
Wow first of all I’m not the only person
14:50
having a hard time this is not unique to
14:53
me this is a very normal process of
14:55
being an entrepreneur not that that’s
14:58
like encouraging by saying it’s going to
15:00
be hard to be an entrepreneur but when
15:02
you’re in it
15:03
you don’t want to do that alone you know
15:06
like it is there are going to be ups and
15:08
downs the roller coaster of the
15:09
entrepreneur that’s a real thing you’ll
15:12
feel on cloud nine one minute and down
15:14
in the dumps the next and it’s sometimes
15:16
like I don’t know that I can handle this
15:19
anymore but to have a group that you can
15:21
go to and share this is what’s happening
15:24
this is how I’m feeling and to have them
15:27
truly be in your corner
15:29
I actually feel myself getting a little
15:31
emotional right now but um to have them
15:34
truly be in your corner and to have
15:36
people who sincerely want the best for
15:39
you and see the best in you and have
15:42
your have your back
15:44
it I mean you can hear in my voice it
15:47
means the world
15:50
it just means the world I mean we all
15:52
will have
15:53
you know an unhappy customer stresses of
15:57
of finances or growth or
16:00
people who don’t love your business
16:01
model but to have people in your corner
16:04
who can who you respect who you truly
16:09
love and they love you back it’s it is
16:13
invaluable it really is invaluable and
16:15
I’ve seen that not just for myself but
16:17
for the others that I’ve been around
16:20
um wow all right we’ll pull it together
16:22
so yes the bonding and the support that
16:26
we get from being with people who who
16:31
who we want you know that whole thing
16:33
that Darren Hardy said like you can see
16:35
your future if you look at your friends
16:36
is that the kind of future you want
16:39
um I also invite you to really
16:42
look at how the people you’re around
16:45
how they handle
16:48
frustrations and let me see if I can
16:50
dive into this a little bit more
16:52
you want to be in a good headspace okay
16:55
this is I’m speaking now I’m saying you
16:58
you know you listener you get to decide
17:01
what’s important to you
17:03
for me things that are important to me
17:05
are being positive
17:08
looking at the best in others not
17:10
talking negatively about others having
17:13
Integrity being a hard worker
17:17
uh let’s see those are pretty big so
17:20
yeah being able to to turn things and
17:23
not be negative about it to not you know
17:26
I just I don’t want to dwell on the
17:27
negative I really want to move forward
17:29
and be happy
17:31
and so for me I’m not going to say that
17:33
that’s right or wrong but if that’s
17:36
what’s important to you then you want to
17:38
make sure you’re around people who who
17:40
do those things it’s so easy I remember
17:44
my sister-in-law years ago she was
17:46
really upset about something and she was
17:49
like man I need this friend of mine
17:50
around she’s so good at just like yeah
17:52
they’re terrible they’re this and she’s
17:54
like it’s hilarious and it it is you I
17:57
get it like when we’re really upset with
17:59
someone we’ll just say someone for right
18:00
now
18:01
it’s kind of fun like the basic juvenile
18:05
side of us wants someone else to be like
18:08
yeah to agree with us and tear that
18:11
person down and they’re such an idiot or
18:13
whatever
18:14
that’s not really who I want to be
18:16
that’s not how I want to show up in this
18:19
life so while it might in the most
18:22
knee-jerk reaction how I want to like oh
18:26
come on just throw them under the bus
18:28
with me you know that’s not really what
18:31
I want in life I really really when I’m
18:34
in my best self I want people who can
18:37
help me turn things around and be more
18:41
positive
18:42
so Shannon doesn’t know this but she
18:46
works for well okay she does know this
18:48
she works for me she knows that
18:50
she doesn’t know that I’m going to share
18:52
how amazing she has been for me in this
18:55
regard
18:57
um just the other day
18:59
she I was chatting with her about you
19:01
know being in a weird headspace and
19:05
and she was handled it so well
19:08
she did not encourage the Doom and Gloom
19:12
and the let’s just talk about how bad it
19:13
is but in such a loving kind way just
19:17
like
19:18
encouraging listening listening but not
19:22
diving into the details and tell me more
19:24
tell me more and and I don’t even
19:27
remember how but just encouraging me to
19:30
be a little bit better and move forward
19:32
and I even
19:34
texted her or whatever a message that
19:36
said like I don’t have time to be down
19:38
here I have mountains to climb and she
19:41
copied that and she was like that is
19:42
beautiful
19:43
and now I I want to save that and put it
19:46
on my door or whatever tattoo it on my
19:48
arm like I have mountains to climb
19:50
that’s the kind of person I want to be
19:52
around that helps me remember I have
19:55
great dreams and visions and goals I’m
19:57
going places I don’t have time to sit
20:00
here and spend my energy on this stuff
20:02
that is bringing me down you know
20:05
and so if you can find those people who
20:09
are in a a mentally healthy happy place
20:13
then that will help you to to not dwell
20:17
in those negative places you know to
20:19
really Elevate yourself when it’s not so
20:22
easy to do
20:24
so now if you’re like well yeah I really
20:27
do I need to to reevaluate who I’m with
20:31
and and who I’m going to hang out with
20:35
I mean just
20:36
a precautionary tale or warning it’s it
20:41
does hurt a little bit I have gone
20:43
through a few times in my life changing
20:45
my friend groups evaluating wow this is
20:48
not making me happy these people are and
20:51
I didn’t at that time I didn’t have the
20:53
self-awareness to be like this is not
20:55
who I want to be but I was like uh I
20:58
don’t feel happy this makes me feel
20:59
whenever I leave
21:02
from being with these people I feel a
21:03
certain way and I don’t like that
21:06
so just be warned that it’s
21:10
it is always worth it to to change and
21:13
elevate your life whatever that might
21:16
look like but if you are specifically
21:18
changing the people who you hang out
21:20
with
21:20
it can be a little bit of a bumpy road
21:23
and there’s no need to tell people oh
21:25
you’re not who I want to be like or you
21:27
know anything like that but it does
21:29
become obvious when you change your
21:31
group a little bit
21:33
um but it is for the best and in the
21:35
long run you will be happier for making
21:38
that change and you know finding people
21:42
then the next thing for me was like I’m
21:44
lonely for a little bit I didn’t have a
21:47
friend group because I chose to not hang
21:49
out with these people who had been my
21:50
friends so now what and they’re it’s
21:53
like dating a little bit you know you’re
21:55
looking for some new friends and trying
21:57
things out you will find your people and
22:00
the biggest thing is to be proactive go
22:04
ahead and invite somebody to do
22:06
something if there’s someone who you’re
22:07
like man I really admire them they just
22:10
they’re really great go ahead and just
22:12
say hey would you want to grab lunch
22:13
sometime you know put yourself out there
22:16
and and reach out to people and for me
22:19
this makes me sound so weird if my
22:22
myself 10 years ago I heard myself
22:24
saying this I’d be like oh boy but a lot
22:28
of my
22:29
close friends and associations are
22:31
through my business Quilters candy you
22:34
know whether it’s online or the
22:36
employees on my team or the people in my
22:39
Mastermind or you know just the people
22:41
who I’ve met through my business are a
22:43
big
22:44
my closest relations mine is my family
22:48
um so putting yourself out there whether
22:50
it be online or through your business
22:52
making connections with your customers
22:54
it can be very very fulfilling
22:57
so yeah to summarize who we surround
23:01
ourselves greatly impact who we are how
23:05
we show up how we view the world
23:08
it is validating sometimes to see just
23:11
how real this is so I have seen with my
23:15
community for example the people who uh
23:18
you know take my course sign up for my
23:20
membership
23:21
join my Mastermind that I it is true
23:25
like attracts like and so the people who
23:28
I’ve attracted into my my sphere my
23:32
atmosphere if you will are people who I
23:35
generally really like you know I’m like
23:37
oh they have I really like how they
23:39
handle this oh they’re very positive oh
23:41
we you know
23:43
so like attracts like and
23:46
you want to surround yourself with the
23:48
people you want to be with but you’re
23:49
also going to attract the kind of people
23:51
that you are and so if you evaluate who
23:55
who am I attracting and who am I around
23:58
you can change that if you’re not loving
24:01
what you’re seeing
24:03
there is so much power in who we are
24:06
around and like I said it can even be a
24:09
podcast that you listen to books that
24:11
you listen to I want to say the first
24:14
time I heard this idea was on a podcast
24:17
oh something I cannot remember his name
24:20
something about millionaires uh being a
24:23
millionaire and he has a book John oh
24:25
anyhow I feel really bad I can’t
24:27
remember but he said you are the sum of
24:31
the five people you hang out with most
24:33
and I’m paraphrasing but to really
24:35
evaluate look at who are the five people
24:37
that you are around most what are their
24:40
views on life how do they talk about
24:42
people when they aren’t around how are
24:45
they generally happy are they generally
24:47
pessimistic do they look at things as a
24:50
glass half full are they showing up in a
24:52
way that you like that you want to show
24:55
up
24:56
because that’s how you are as well we
24:59
are the sum of the five people we hang
25:01
around as Darren Hardy said if you hang
25:03
around five wise people you will become
25:05
the sixth if you hang around five
25:08
multi-millionaires you will become the
25:10
sixth and if you hang around five idiots
25:12
you will become the sixth so be so
25:15
selective with who you hang around it
25:18
greatly impacts you your life you can be
25:22
selective you need to be it is so
25:24
crucial and important to to curate your
25:29
life and your future and to make it how
25:31
you want it to be you can even make a
25:34
list of things that are important to you
25:35
how you want to show up what what kind
25:38
of attributes do you like in others and
25:40
do you want to see in yourself and
25:42
surround yourself with those kinds of
25:44
people
25:45
so that is my episode for you today it
25:48
has been on my mind as I have seen my
25:51
dear friends in my Mastermind as I have
25:52
felt it myself in my own life recently
25:55
just the hugely important detail of the
26:00
people we surround ourselves with now I
26:03
do not have any paid ads on my podcast
26:06
but I do really lean on the reviews of
26:10
the podcast to help my podcast stick
26:13

26:17
