It is a known fact that in order to invite success into one's life, one must be surrounded by people who are just as successful…or whose success they wish to emulate. Winners go with winners, losers, oh well… they stay and watch at the sidelines and hope something lucky will fall on their laps.
But people don't just become successful - they need to work hard to be so. They make sacrifices, work on their weaknesses, and develop their strengths. But there are ways to surround yourself with successful people. Below is list - maybe you can search for new ideas for your businesses by sticking to your role models.
MEETUPS. A meetup is a planned activity where successful people in your area or niche regularly converge to exchange ideas and insights. Here, you come face to face with the men behind huge success stories. You are able to ask them for advice, and probably their secrets for success. A meetup is similar to a party where you enthusiastically see old-time and new friends. The atmosphere is vibrant and inspiring. You surround yourself with positive energy, wisdom and great influences from the best of the best in the industry or business world.
JOIN GROUPS OF ASSOCIATIONS. People with common interests or a common goal form associations that provide services to other members of the community. You have similar interests, gain wisdom from the experts, and find out the latest in the niche / community you are part of.
BE A FRIEND/FAN OF THE SOCIAL MEDIA NETWORKS. This is probably one of the best ways to meet new people with one common interest. First, no person will send your Facebook business page a friend request if you have dissimilar objectives. In FB, you are able to interact virtually - maybe even ask "friends" or "fans" for advice which you would normally ask them when you meetup personally. With the social media networks, gone are the restrictions set by distance and time differences - everyone can converge and share ideas. There are some fan pages that do schedule a physical meeting, which turns out really well since the initial apprehension of first-time encounters are eliminated. All you need to do is see the face behind the name or the computer monitor. A word of advice, though - not all people are what they claim to be virtually. So take the proper precautions, because some of those lurking in the internet do not have the purest of intentions.
INTERACT THROUGH BLOGS AND CHATS. Another virtual way to meet people, commenting on blogs increases your exposure, and creates an online presence for you and your business. When you constantly give advice, you may be perceived as an authority - thus increasing your rank in the niche or community you are part of. Chatting, on the other hand, allows you to get to know people personally. You can ask them your "tricky" questions and catch them off-guard when they are lying, or just pretending to be part of the legitimate community. Unlike mere commenting, chatting helps each party get to know each other on a deeper level. Successful people can tell if the person they are conversing with is also successful or just pretending to be one. People who are positive can greatly influence those who are just starting their quest for success - thus, you can very well end up as a positive influence on other co-chatters' lives.
SEMINARS CONFERENCES AND SHOWS. People who want to be successful have a thirst for more knowledge. They are, therefore, always seeking for ways and secrets to be even more successful than they currently are. Especially when these require personal convergence, you are almost sure you will be surrounded with equally-successful people who also want to meet others like YOU. If you can't leave the house, there is already something called "webinars" - or seminars on the web, where you can listen to speakers and their advantageous insights, yet still be in the comfort of your homes.
Wherever you chose to meet other successful people, always remember that when you surround yourself with any type of positive influence, their positivity rubs off on you. Surround yourself with the wrong downtrodden people, then you just may find yourself like them too. So, the trick is to surround yourself with people who will inspire you to go on your path to success.
