There is no formula for a successful business
Sorry about that folks! Every person and business are different, and so it will take a different combo of things to make that person or that business a success. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t some basic things that can help along the way. Think of these things as blueprints – the building blocks for a firm foundation that you can build up your business on. But rather than talk about all the techniques and theories, today we wanted to address something a little different – how the people you surround yourself with are the real influence on your success.
You Are The Average Of Five People
It was Tim Ferris who said ‘you are the average of the top five people you most associate with’, and he couldn’t be more right! The idea of the rule is that the five people you spend the most time with significantly shapes who you are. That’s everything from your preferences to how successful you are. Ferris was given the advice when he was just 15, and he believes it has become more and more relevant as time goes on. After all, the few people who are closest to us have the greatest impact on our way of thinking and our decisions. It’s something everyone does without even realising it, and is built into our brains since early childhood.
He also explains that you can shape who you are by altering the people you spend the most time with. When asked who his ‘top five’ people are, he explains that that list is ever-changing, depending on what areas of his life he wants to work on. So, if you want to improve your life financially, you can adjust the group to reflect that, and success will follow. The logic of this is that if you want to improve your business and succeed, then you should surround yourself with successful business people, and those in the same growth mindset as you. It’s a way to take advantage of what our brains are already doing, and use it to help us achieve our goals.
So How Does ActionCLUB Help?
ActionCLUB is a group coaching programme, meeting once a fortnight to help business owners develop a strong foundation and skills in all the fundamental areas of running a successful business. We run a couple of different ActionCLUB groups at the moment, with a wide range of business owners from all walks of life. But when we ask them, they all say that the support network of group coaching has a huge impact on them. That’s because ActionCLUB brings together like-minded business owners in a quest to share knowledge and help each other grow in their own little business community, and that attitude and environment has rubbed off on them. In this sense, ActionCLUB helps business owners become the average of some very successful people and helps them be successful too. And that’s before we even start on the actual coaching element!
If you’d like to find out more about ActionCLUB and what it could do for you, we have some good news!
We’re launching another ActionCLUB group in September and we’d like to invite you along to experience a ‘Taster Session’ to see if it’s something you feel would benefit from being a part of.
You can come to one of our various taster sessions (running on the 19th of July, as well as the 2nd, 15th and 21st of August) by booking in on this link. During this half-day ‘Taster Session’, you’ll learn what ActionCLUB is, meet some like-minded people and get a sample of one of our group coaching sessions in action! Oh and there’s nothing to pay for your initial session, this one’s on us!
