One of my favorite business bloggers,
Troy White,
has a post on
his big lessons from 2007.
One of them was
to surround yourself with successful people.
He reco’s that from the mentoring point of view
but there is another reason.
Successful people inspire.
I’ve been struggling with a project lately.
I was feeling a bit beat up.
Then I hear that a friend accomplished an “impossible” dream,
something that she struggled with only weeks ago.
Darn it, I told myself,
if she can do that,
then surely I can do this less challenging task.
And I worked on it all yesterday with renewed determination.
Success breeds success
whether it is your success or someone else’s.
The last sentence is well said.
