Hey Guys,
Honoured to be named as one of the Top 50 entrepreneurs in Australia.
I was asked to take a minute to give a few thoughts on what the list means to me, thought I'd post it up so y'all can have a read.
We live in a time in history that allows us to learn
almost anything we want to learn for free. If your hungry enough to find an
answer I’ll bet youtube or google have an answer for you, if they don’t have an
answer I’d bet facebook, twitter, instagram or a forum will be able to connect
you with some one who knows what you need to know, or has the means to get the
answer your seeking.
My point is that we live in the most abundant time in history.
We are not restricted by our education, heck if we want to learn something we can learn it, usually from
the best in the world, from a video on youtube that we pay nothing for.
We are not restricted by Location.
Geography has absolutely no relationship to success at this point in history.
If your reading this then your on the internet, Im not in your office telling
you my thoughts, where you are right now in the world has almost no relationship to
where your going.
We are not restricted by opportunity.
Opportunity is everywhere. We have the ability to sell an idea to the world
from our living room, from our computer, We have the ability to seek
opportunity, from our computer, we can meet people with opportunities, help
people with opportunities or be entertained by opportunity. we can learn how to create
opportunity and share our opportunity.
We live in the most abundant time in history, the most privlidged.
We are only restricted by our ability to
think, Our ability to take action and our ability to persist.
There is 1 thing I've found in common among
people who in my opinion have created successful lives. People who I seek to
model my life after, people who have contributed to the world, people who have
add value to society, people who have created lives of abundance, not just
financial abundance, real abundance, abundance emotionally, career abundance,
family abundance…. you get the picture.
The habit that Ive found common among these
people is their ability to think.
I noticed they have dedicated time to
think.
They have a dedicated place to think.
And maybe most importantly they have a
group of people who challenged them, imspire them and demand from them higher
levels of thought.
They know that people are power, we are who
we spend time with. Everything we do is influenced by the people we surround
our selves with.
Im honored to be surrounded by some great
people, to be named in the Top 50 under entrepreneurs in Australia
feels pretty cool.
I'm curious to know the stories of the people on this list, to learn from them.
As human beings we are creatures that can
learn through association, I can learn from your experience and you can learn
from mine.
We don’t have to learn from our own
mistakes, if I see you touch fire and get burned, I don’t have to touch it. I
know its going to burn, I can see and feel through your experience that
touching fire is going to hurt like hell.
I use this as an opportunity to challenge
you to create your proximity list.
A
list of people who you need to learn from, people who are going to inspire you
to be more, to do more, and to give more, people who have done something you
want to do.
A list of people you need to surround yourself with. Your proximity List.
The fastest way to get to where we want to
go is to find some one who has done what we want to do, learn what they did,
then do it.
Its 2014 surrounding ourselves with these
people doesn’t mean we need to go to the cafe and high five each other, we
can surround our selves with our proximity list on social media. My social
media feed is a huge resource to me, I constantly have people who I aspire to
be like posting up things they find important.
So follow your proximity list.
Read about your proximity list.
And seek to meet your proximity list.
Prxoximity is power.
