Hey Gorgeous,
Have you ever noticed how your environment and the people around you shape the way you think, act, and even feel?
The truth is, the company you keep plays a massive role in your personal growth, the opportunities that come your way, and the energy you carry with you.
Today, I want to remind you just how powerful it is to surround yourself with the right people—those who lift you up, challenge you to be better, and open doors to possibilities you might have never imagined.
The Power of the Right Circle
You’ve probably heard the saying, “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” It’s a cliché for a reason!
When you’re around people who are motivated, positive, and constantly striving for more, that energy rubs off on you. You start to think bigger, take more action, and push yourself to grow.
But, if you’re surrounded by negativity or people who don’t push themselves, that can hold you back without you even realizing it.
The right people will create a positive environment for you to flourish, giving you the support and encouragement you need to step into your best self. They’ll celebrate your wins, help you through the hard times, and push you to reach higher than you thought possible.
Opportunities Come From Connections
Let’s be real, so many amazing opportunities come from who you know. That doesn’t mean you need to know the most influential people right off the bat—it means aligning yourself with individuals who inspire growth, who are in the pursuit of greatness themselves.
When you surround yourself with driven, growth-oriented people, business opportunities start popping up naturally. Ideas get sparked in conversations, introductions to key players happen casually, and you get pulled into circles that lead to incredible partnerships or projects.
Think about it: how many times have you gotten a life-changing opportunity just by being in the right place, with the right people?
Personal Growth Through the People You Spend Time With
It’s not just about business, though. The right people help you grow within.
They hold you accountable, call you out when you need it, and help you see your blind spots. They encourage you to step out of your comfort zone, challenge your limiting beliefs, and inspire you to do the inner work that helps you become the best version of yourself.
Being around people who are constantly evolving makes you want to evolve too. Their mindset, their habits, and their drive to keep leveling up push you to do the same.
It’s like having a mirror reflect back to you the version of yourself you’re capable of becoming.
How to Attract the Right People
Maybe this is sounding great, but you’re wondering, “How do I find the right people?”
Here’s the good news: like attracts like. The more you focus on your own growth and improvement, the more you’ll naturally attract people who are on the same wavelength.
Be intentional: Start putting yourself in places where growth-minded people gather. Networking events, workshops, retreats, or even online groups where people are passionate about learning and evolving.
Be open: Sometimes the right people don’t look exactly how you imagined. Stay open to connections with people from different industries, backgrounds, or experiences. They might just have the perspective you didn’t know you needed.
Reciprocate: Be the type of person who encourages and uplifts others. When you give support, you’ll receive it in return.
Final Thoughts: The Right People Are Everything
So, babe, take a moment to reflect—are the people around you helping you grow?
Are they lifting you higher and challenging you to reach your full potential? If not, it might be time to start seeking out those connections that will.
Surround yourself with the right people, and you’ll see just how quickly your life, your business, and your personal growth can soar.
Stay connected to those who help you shine, and never stop pushing forward.

Thank you
This really hit home. Especially the part about people being mirrors for who we’re capable of becoming. I’ve felt the difference when I’m around those who challenge me vs. those who drain me—and it’s night and day. The reminder to reciprocate and be that kind of uplifting force for others was a powerful nudge. Thank you for this 💫
