Success in Numbers
Success in Numbers
Recently I responded to a WA colleague about this topic and it inspired me to write this blog.
This is what I said to him, “I think the best way to have success financially is to have it socially by networking with others who are trying to achieve their goals just as much as you’re trying to achieve your own and have the willingness to help each other.”
I believe that the true key to success is in the numbers. Not the dollars sign numbers but the amount of successful people that we network with. It’s like the old saying of family and friends when I was younger “Surround yourself with successful people in order to be or have success in your life”.
I understood the quote back then but I didn’t realize the impact of that statement until earlier this year. At first I thought I was in place to be what I wanted to be but the people around me really wasn’t that helpful. They were either holding their hands out to take something from me, using me for their benefits but then forget who I am when I’m in trouble, and or disappear totally until they needed me again.
These were the types of people I had surrounded myself with but didn’t realize it until I wanted and needed to do something for my family first. It was time for this change in my life.
Therefore, placing myself into an environment where I could get help in order be successful, and give help so that the next person can receive the same if not more success than they ever imagined. I finally found the group of individuals that have the same focus and goal orientation as me.
The more successful people you can connect with socially, the more gain financially you’ll have in your success.

Willieg,
It is alway interesting to see another generation using the same tactics I was taught at a child- Your "surround yourself with successful people to be successful" is a revision of "birds of a feather stick together" It was true then, and is so now.
Thanks for the insight.

This does make me think of a quote from Bob Proctor.
“Money will make you more of what you already are. If you're not a nice person, money's going to make you a despicable individual. If you're a good person, money's going to make you a better person.”
So therefor, it's always sensible to look how successful people are filling in their lives, not all succesful people you want to buckle up to:)
I like this quote and I glad I'm a nice and a respectful person also. So my financial gain and experience on how to get there will only enhance my knowledge to give to others who want the same thing. Thanks for your response.
I can certainly see where you're coming from and glad that you have a clear vision, now. Kyle is correct, though...we always need our friends. My friends and family might not see my vision right away, but they are my strength and in the end, they'll be my biggest supporters.
Thanks for your response Cheryl. My true friends are very dear to my heart and my family are all great to me. I'll never leave them and vice versa. I think that I might have botched the meaning of what this blog was supposed to be about.
My childhood up to now an adult I've been built on helping the next person even if they don't with me and never expect anything back for my services.
The type of people that I was referring to were the snakes that Kyle had mentioned below so I had to remove myself from them because they were toxic to my success but just them only.
I'm enjoying what I'm learning here at WA and who now I've surrounded myself with. This is a community that shares their knowledge and ideas which was something that I haven't encountered before and to me that places me in position to be successful.
CherylK, Thank your for sharing your insight. I think family think we are crazy as we are in the learning phase.

Surrounding yourself with successful people that are willing to share...and that are positive people can help proper your success. Just being around successful folks not so much as often times those that are successful can be really full of themselves.
That is what I would recommend the approach be. Never give up friendships either for folks that you may deem as being successful because without friends and without family, no level of success is meaningful.
Just thought I would add 2 cents because I see this statement thrown around all the time without no consideration to the "type" of people.
There are people that have achieved success being snakes. There are people that have achieved success by helping others out. If you choose the "mingle" with the latter, you are going to have an exciting and fulfilling journey ahead and this is absolutely what you have here within WA! :)
I truly agree that not all successful people have your best interest but I'm merely referring to the WA community and what they've done for me and my experience and wanting all who are here and the ones who want to join to understand the camaraderie of WA affiliates because we all are searching, reaching, and accomplishing our goals.
Definitely, I'll always lookout for snakes and keep true friends intact and never dismiss family. I believe that I've found the best experience online here at WA and I'll never leave this community of sharing and outgoing people.
Thanks for your response Kyle. I'll see you in the Bootcamp.

The principles you are expounding here are exactly those that have made Network Marketing or MLM, as it is often referred to, such a global success for many companies.
In order to succeed in the industry everyone needs to share the success principles with others for which effort the parent company rewards them financially for expanding the company's marketplace.
The more you share, the greater your success.
Thanks for the read. Sharing is a vital part in success in whatever field we're in. I second your thoughts here about "The more you share, the greater your success." This is so true and I'll always believe in it.
