Surround Yourself With Greatness

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

Attributed to Mark Twain

Coaching Tip for the Week:


Last week, the ASPIRE Success Club held its annual Garden Party. As each member stood to address the group, a common theme emerged: through ASPIRE, they have found themselves enmeshed in a community of people who believe in, support, and encourage their Big Dreams and Bold Goals. 

For some, this is the first experience they’ve ever had with such an unconditionally helpful community. It’s also one of the reasons many of them are achieving goals that they never have before, too.


This week, find and connect with great people. Intentionally seek out those who express positivity, kindness, and a desire to grow.

One of the best ways to do this? Be that person. Offer a supportive word, congratulate a colleague on a bold action she took, ask a new coworker how you might help him. 

Like a magnet, you’ll find that great people are drawn to your positive, kind, encouraging persona, and you’ll place yourself in situations that attract like-minded souls.

If it’s true that we’re most like the people with whom we spend the most time, then we better choose wisely!
