Today we talk about a subject that is a little under talked about in the creative world (or anyone's path for success for that matter) and that is... the importance of building an inner circle. When I say inner circle I mean a group of people doing what you either already do (better than you) or someone who is doing something that you want to do. As the saying goes "you are the sum total of who you spend the most time around" so if you want to be great, you surround yourself with greatness. Do you think Navy seals spend a good amount of their time hanging out with mediocre people? HELL NO. Why do you think athletes spend time with other athletes or influential people? There's a reason athletes don't hang around their fans. They spent their whole life dedicated to being the OPPOSITE of the people who watch and support them. Not to say that anybody in particular is either a bad or a good person per se, some people are good people... just not good for you... or better yet not embarking on the same journey or at the same level of that journey yet.
