What would I put on a billboard if I could put one message on a billboard to get to millions or billions of people?

It would be you are the average of the five people you associate with most, which also happens to be probably the best advice that I received between the ages of 10 and say 15.

I remember that a mentor at the time who I think was borrowing from Jim Rohn, R.O.H.M, who happens to be the mentor of Tony Robbins, long story, but he left a message on my answering machine with tapes. Remember those kids?

And he left that bit of advice. He said, just remember, you're the average of the five people you associate with most.

And that means financially, emotionally, physically, mentally, you are going to be the average

of the five people you spend the most time around.

So choose those people as well as you can.

Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuses instruction, but he that regardeth reproof shall be honored.

The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul,

but it is abomination to fools to depart from evil.

He that walketh with wise men shall be wise,

but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.

You could be anywhere doing a lot of different things,

but you chose to be here.

And you chose to go somewhere.

You said, man, I can go and I can get better.

I can go and I can go and I can maybe go from where I'm at to where I want to go.

But one of the most important things that you will ever do or not do in your life is to value and seek wise counsel.

To be coached hard means you have to be willing to be uncomfortable.

My saying is if it's important to you, hire a coach.

And I think that's one of the reasons people are not successful is they, you know,

they eat a cheeseburger instead of hiring her coach
