In this episode, I emphasise the importance of intentionally choosing our social circle and surrounding ourselves with individuals who can inspire, challenge, and mentor us in the areas we want to improve. The term "black belt" is used metaphorically to refer to individuals who have achieved a high level of success or expertise in specific areas of life, such as physical fitness, finance, personal relationships, business, or spirituality.I suggest that by evaluating the people we interact with on a regular basis, we can determine if they are "black belts" in the areas that matter to us. By being in the presence of these individuals, we can learn from their experiences, gain insights, and be inspired to reach higher levels of achievement.To evaluate our social circle, I recommend looking at the average 10 people we communicate with on a weekly basis. We should ask ourselves how many of them are "black belts" in the areas that matter to us. If they are not individuals who have achieved success and mastery in those areas, it may be beneficial to seek out and surround ourselves with people who are.I also emphasise the impact of our social circle on our personal growth and success. By surrounding ourselves with people who have conquered challenges and figured things out, we can be inspired and motivated to do the same. Additionally, I highlight the importance of modelling and emulating the behaviours and mindsets of these successful individuals.In conclusion, the episode underscores the significance of intentionally choosing our social circle and surrounding ourselves with individuals who have achieved success and mastery in the areas that matter to us. By doing so, we can accelerate our own growth and increase our chances of achieving success in those areas. I also emphasise the importance of showing respect and gratitude to those who have taught valuable lessons, even if we don't have a deep personal relationship with them. By consistently showing up and implementing the lessons learned, we can build relationships with people at the highest level in their respective fields.
