So a friend phoned me recently and asked “Obinna, abeg how you dey take deal with friends who just want to hangout, gist about girls, drink booze, club and talk about their dreams all day? And yet nobody puts in effort to turn their dreams to reality.”
The phone line was silent for about 10 second because, honestly; I was surprised that he phoned to ask me that question; maybe he thinks I’m Doctor Phil, Steve Harvey or a professional counselor... I don’t know? But I guess that’s the current dilemma he’s in now.
A lot of us find ourselves in similar situation, including me. The good thing is that majority of us realize this dilemma early enough. But realizing is the easy part; it gets harder when you try to pull yourself out from whatever unproductive clique or group that you are associated with and find a good and motivating clique to roll with.
Friendship a beautiful thing, but it can also be useless, especially when your friend is an anchor that holds you back when you try to move forward. Good thing that friendship isn’t compulsory. Study the people you roll with. Fuck with those people that inspire and motivate you to become a better person. You can tell your lousy friends to ‘Go fuck themselves.’ Or if you have the time and energy you can try to motivate and build them (Note: I’ve tried this and it worked like 1 out of 10 times. I don’t have the luxury of time now to do that.)
Don’t be scared of being a one man wolf pack when you disassociate yourself from unproductive people. Put in 100% of your effort into achieving you goals while you are alone. Don’t try to make friends or impress anybody. Make money and be successful, friends will show up when the party starts.
Learn to watch out for good and gingered people, these are the people that talk about ideas, their goals, plans and the actions they are taking to achieve their goals. Watch out for these kinds of people and establish a mutual relationship with them.
There’s this concept of having a Master Mind Group. I have mine. The “Master Mind” may be defined as “Coordination of knowledge and effort, in a spirit of harmony, between two or more people, for the attainment of a definite purpose. There’s this popular saying “Two heads are better than one.” Very True!
You stand to gain a lot when you associate and work with like-minded people. The economic benefit is obvious. Economic advantages may be created by any person who surrounds himself with the advice, counsel and personal cooperation of a group of men who are willing to lend him wholeheartedly aid, in a spirit of perfect harmony.
Matthew 18:20 – For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the midst of them.
Know that no two minds ever come together without, thereby, creating a third, invisible, intangible force which may be likened to a third mind. It is a well-known fact that a group of electric batteries will provide more energy than a single battery. It is also a well-known fact that an individual battery will provide energy in proportion to the number and capacity of the cell it contains. Your brain functions in a similar manner.
Take out time to analyze the record of anybody you know who is successful and has accumulated great fortune, and you will find that they have either consciously or unconsciously employed the Master Mind Principle. Do your research and you’ll find out that this guy – Henry Ford – his most rapid strides became noticeable, from the time he became a personal friend with Thomas A. Edison, and you will begin to understand what the influence of one mind upon another can accomplish.
Find people who share identical vibes and visions with you and fuck with them big time. Form your Master Mind Group. Kindly leave comments and share this post on your social media accounts if you find this article helpful.
