One of the greatest ‘Mooring lines’ holding you back from your true potential comes in the disguise of friends and family!

That’s right – the nearest and dearest can have the most positive or the most negative influence on your future success! As we grow up, our friends and family play a part in shaping who we are! But as we start to shape our own lives to follow a destiny path, these influences can start to have a very different impact on our ability to move outside of our dictated comfort zones.

Why is it that most people are 10% richer or poorer than their family? What limits the majority of people to this zone? It’s about staying in the pack and not rocking the boat! Peer pressure perhaps? Or a poor boy, poor girl mentality that says this is all you deserve. Strangely enough people who win the lottery often squander the money until they get rid of enough of it to put them right back into this comfort zone.

The people around you, while they genuinely are trying to help, may well be the single biggest thing holding you back? At some time you need to realize that you can’t take everyone with you on the journey, but to cut the Mooring Lines doesn’t mean you stop loving them or being their friends. It may mean though that it’s time to Divorce them from a business, life or wealth creation perspective, or from sharing too many of your long term life goals with them.

Keep loving them though, after all they are your friends and family! But it’s time to find new people who can travel with you on this next part of the journey!

Creating a fan club of like minded people around you is the answer. People, who think the same, have the same type of goals and aspirations.

These people will say

‘Yes, that can be done,
‘Yes you can have that if you want,
‘Yes let’s do that together.
‘Yes everything is possible

So start today to create a Fan club of like minded people! You do need to know that this will be a small percentage of the population and they won’t necessarily come from close by.So you need to go out and find them. And I can promise you when you start looking they will soon appear.

As Mark Twain said “Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great people make you feel that you, too, can become great.”
