Wellbeing Wisdom Tiny Bites - Who's in Charge of Your Success?

Perhaps you’ve heard the adage “you are the sum total of the 5 people you surround yourself with.”

Motivational speaker Jim Rohn had a keynote speech that taught that message as a key to personal and professional success, and in 2017, Northwestern University published a study seeking to prove or disprove it. In their research, they found that people who sat within 25 feet of a high-performing co-worker improved their output by 15 percent. Alarmingly, those who sat within 25 feet of a low performer saw a decrease in productivity of 30 percent. Yikes!

Think about the five people you spend the most time with each day. How do they influence you – positively or negatively? Now think about where you want to be in your career in a year, three years and five years – will your current 5 influencers help you or hurt you?

It may seem cold and maybe even harsh to choose your friends and close co-workers by whether they’ll help you get where you want to go – it’s up to you to decide what to do with this information. Now you know – those around you can have a profound affect on your success…or lack thereof.
