Welcome back to another episode of the Spartan Way. We're here in Pittsfield, Vermont, birthplace, deep roots of all things Spartan.

We're part of the Spartan-Up umbrella of podcasts.

We're going to bring in you bite-sized pieces of awesome success-driven

information every week with one thing to do and action to do today. And today

what I'm going to talk to you about is you've heard this this before you are the average of your five

best friends or the five people that you tend to spend the time with the most and

where I read about this first was in Napoleon Hill's book, Think and Grow Rich, a very powerful

book and he spoke about how not only people like you and I this effects, but he was talking

about presidents and statesmen would get together

three four five six of them and they would go on camping trips they would get away

from their normal day-to-day activities,

and they would go on these camping trips,

and then they would share not just success strategies,

but they would also share struggles, challenges.

And then this group of friends would work together to share strategies

to make everybody better.

So it wasn't just showing up and saying, here, here's what I need help with, it's working together to make one another better.

I felt like I hit a wall in my business.

Things were good, but I wasn't getting better.

And I've heard that saying that if you're not getting better,

you're getting worse.

There's no such thing as remaining the same.
