‘No one succeeds alone and no one fails alone. Pay attention to the people around you.’– Gary Keller

If you want to know what is going on around you, you must pay attention to the people around you. Do not forget yourself.

Just because people are not talking to you does not mean that everything is okay. Do not wait for them to come to you. If you are really interested in what is going on around you, you must get up and meet your people where they are.

They are human beings. Pay attention to what is going on with them. Pay attention to what they are not telling you. That is more important than what they are telling you.

If you are around people who don’t have the courage to tell you what you need to hear, you are not with the right people.

They are not helping you by not telling you what you need to hear. It is important to be around great people, people who are with you to help you get better, not to drag you down.

To go up, you need the right people in your life. To go down, you need the wrong people in your life. And the wrong people are everywhere. You have got to pay attention to the people around you.

They matter. They know you. They can help you get better, achieve success, and they can also take you down.

Life is more fun when you are with the right people. Difficult things are easier to manage when you are working with the right people, when your team members are doing the real work.

Life is better when you have trusted people around you. Trusted people are givers, not takers. They are with you to help you get better, not to drag you down.

When you are with them, you don’t want the day to end. You just want to keep going. You just want to keep working. And you don’t want them to go home.

Trusted people are there for you when you need them, when things are tough. They are not with you to exploit you, but to nurture you. To help you get to your next level.

If the people around you are not supporting your dreams, then you have got a lot of work to do. One of the best ways to deal with them is to commit yourself to your dreams. Do not disrespect them, but do not let them talk you out of your dreams.

If you do, you are going to be the biggest loser. And they are going to be the biggest winners. Do not let that happen. Don’t!

‘Extraordinary results becomes possible when where you want to go is completely aligned with what you do today?’– Gary Keller

The process of getting from ordinary results to extraordinary results is a long one. It is a hard one. It requires a lot of work. It requires a lot of planning.

Planning is not everything. Without it, we are not going anywhere.

Like other great things in life, they take time to make. It doesn’t happen overnight. If you want it to happen, you must be willing to do the work.

So how do you get from an ordinary to extraordinary? You can, but you have got to be patient with yourself.

Remember that success starts with knowing what you want. If you know what you want, then you can figure out how to make it happen.

But if you don’t know what you want, you can’t figure out what you do not know. That is the issue with not knowing what you want. It brings confusion into your life.

Getting from where you are to where you want to be, you must change yourself. You must be who you are. Then you can follow your path.

You have got to be patient with yourself. You have got to be patient with the process. Because things take time to mature.

You must commit yourself to where you are going. Do not get distracted. Learn everything you can about your journey. Do not doubt yourself. Believe in your journey. Believe that you can make it happen. And be willing to get your hands really dirty.

When you want something bigger than yourself, you have got to double your power. You have got to be more, think more, and act more.

If you are trying your best to create a better future for yourself, you are getting closer to where you want to go. But to get there, you must commit yourself to doing your best work today.
