The other day’s post noted that obesity is contagious. If your best friend gets fat, your chances of gaining weight more than double. And that’s not all…
“Malcolm Gladwell fans will recall his reporting that suicide among teenagers can be contagious as well.
So is terrorism, of course. And spamming. And graffiti.

The most important thing you can do is choose who you’re hanging out with. The second high-leverage thing is to put dynamics in place that reinforce the ideas you’d like to see spread. Celebrate the heroes. Make it easy for those ideas to spread…”-Seth Godin
Who are you hanging out with vis-a-vis your business? Do you want to become like them?[/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]
I don’t have anyone whom I hang out personally with that I would like to become like. But if over the phone counts then I would have to say one of the founders of the company I represent.
Here’s an incredibly busy gentleman who makes the time to personally conduct training teleconferences twice a week. He is also extremely generous and very kind and giving. Not to mention very successful. I admire and look up to people like that. People who give and never ask anything in return. Hmmm, I wonder if that is the secret to his success?
I also admire people who have been down and out several times, dusted themselves off and started over again. Never giving up and never losing their vision. Those are my heroes and those are the people I would like to become like.
Have a fantastic week!
