Change your association if you want to change your current economic position

[Oshio-man]

We should change association for us to be able to solve the economic challenge right? If you are doing well through that association you belong to in the community, please don't change from such association because many people have be deceived not to value what is making them to make progress until they lose the association before they realized what they have done to themselves, But if you follow lazy people association in your environment, it will be difficult for you to grow financially because they will not encourage you to invest in decentralized currency that will change your financial life, than to lead you to bad ways to rough you funds for night club which you must challenge such association.

[Accardo]

if someone wants to grow they need to find qualified people who can help them grow. it will be hard for them to change their life situation when they are surrounded by the wrong people-- one needs to find a better environment where they can grow better and develop their own potential. but that doesn't mean that being friends with those who are in a lower economic situation is wrong, but at least one should understand the limits and not get caught up in the flow of that friendship, they should be wiser and smarter in dealing with those people.

There is a tendency for friends of successful people to also become wealthy by learning and spending time with them. However, people who are not connected can also grow within themselves through reading books and courses regarding their niche or business. There are multiple ways for a man to change, but working alongside experienced and successful people instills a rapid growth. It also helps the person to concentrate.

Reality is, sometimes your own association is the biggest reason why you remained in a negative economic position. Instead of pushing you to go up, they are the ones pulling you down so you will stay being a failure and won’t achieve your goal of success.

You’re lucky if you have a good association that supports you all the way, and boost your potentials to achieve your dreams and desires. But for unlucky ones, better to shift into a new association now and find which best suits for you.

[lixer]

It's also true for we as humans being because we should be always be careful of the association that we find ourselves self because any association that is not impacting into you should be stopped because I am of the view that in this year that we have found ourselves if we are to make serious progress economically and others wise then take a careful evaluation of those around you and make changes if necessary

In addition, there is 80% chances of your present associate to influence your current position in life.

That why is very important to carefully choose your friends (associate).
Try as much as possible to associate with those that can impact positively in you, people that is ahead of you, that can give you new positive ideal that will create solutions.

With this you can improve your status economically and otherwise. Thank you

Well, present and current are only the same. Are you sure you don't mean future? But it is also true. I heard it somewhere before which states that what we do now can have an impact on our future lives. Apart from the general life, friends to be specific is indeed one of the things that can make an impact in our life. I think that if we are surrounded with successful people, chances are that we can also be like them but if we are not yet, we need to seek for them first. This can be tricky and needs some good effort as those people can hardly go outside or socialize to others especially to like us who are not yet on their level. We still can get information though even if we are away from them.

the people you surround yourself with and their attitude and personality will eventually rub off on you even if you say you are not the same as them

the fact that you spend time with them already will lead you to becoming more and more like who you spend your time with so do not spend it with people who are lazy and have no direction in life instead be with people who will motivate you and inspire you

These days, if you want less stress, better take care of your own business. As much as possible, stay away from toxic people. It doesn't mean that you are not friendly whatsoever, but you are just lessening negativities in your life. Mental health is very important to look at. Because if not, you will be eaten by the toxicity of the system surrounding you.

It's better to stay being unfriendly from the eyes of the people rather than to risk yourself and get surrounded with bad influence people. Otherwise, you will find it hard to make an exit from those type of people because they will accuse you of leaving them behind in a worst situation, when you know on yourself you are just doing the right thing. That's probably one of the reasons why some people chose to enjoy their own company rather than be with people who they can't get along with well.

[SamReomo]

It's more like surrounding yourself with people whose goals and values are same as yours. If not, you'll be distracted.

Yes, it's always better to be with those people who have similar goals as yours as that will help you to grow as well. Let's say as Bitcoin lover it's much better to be in gathering of the people who love and support Bitcoin rather than going with the ones who really don't have any idea about Bitcoin and are expert of Stock market, or Forex market, or know ins and outs of Real Estate investing.

The people around you can really have big impact on your success and that's why as a Bitcoin enthusiast one should always try to be in company of those who are also in Bitcoin, and in order to have such people one should definitely visit this forum as it's basically community of such people who are into Bitcoin.

The current level that you are is a product of the people who you soround your self with because associations matters a lot, in our biology we where taught about different associations that exist in nature which includes symbiosis, mutuality and parasitism etc

Exactly the circle of friends you keep facilitates your current success and current positions in life and just as everything is opened to change then you ought to change the association you keep cause it goes s long way in determining your future outcome. Having said this life is a lesson and like the saying goes once bitten twice shy and inorder to survive in this economy it's an avenue to surround yourself with people of great influence and affluence, people void of hates and jealousy but rather strive for the best in themselves.

Are we really seriously bound by the friends we have when we are dealing with business? I have like 5-6 close friends for example and they all do different jobs and we never really talk about business, because we are not in business together so we have nothing to do with each other when it comes to business world.

From a simple government worker to a high paid lawyer, none of them never benefited me or hurt me, none of them had any negative impact on my life nor a positive one. I am talking about in money or business sense by the way, of course they all had amazing positive impact on my life as friends, I would die for them, I love them a lot, I just mean that we do not talk about business that much, aside from like being very busy and all that so it makes things harder to meet frequently. So I am not entirely sure if our friendship circle matters that much, sure if they want money from you or something then yeah that's bad, but aside from that, you should not look to your friends for business.

Sometimes it's not always our association that's making us not to make much progress financially. Mostimes when I hear people say change your friends if you want to prosper financially or otherwise, it makes me wonder. It could also be that your friends ain't the problem but yourself. Some people naturally have laziness in their blood that they can't do anything. They don't want to engage in any economic activities that will better their live, or they have some bad habits that are eating up their finances, and makes him look like he is not prospering. Whereas his friends are doing well. So at this point should the person also change his or friends or his bad habits? When things don't go very well for us, or people around us, let's not be in a haste to conclude that it's people around them that's keeping us down. We should also examine ourselves, if the faults is coming from us. And make necessary adjustments to to behaviours.

I do agree with the fact that we need to distance ourself from negative people. But just to cut them off because they aren't helping us is too far, I guess. Sometimes people do have struggles, and they can't give it back at that moment, that doesn't mean they don't matter. On the same note, progress is mostly about your attitude and your action, while people around maybe have some effect but not that much compared to those two factors. You might be in a circle of great people, but if you are not trying, you just won't gain anything. If you think it is a good time to reassess your associations, maybe it also be a good time to support people who are struggling and need your help.

That is not what I ment am not of the view that you totally cut off your friends who are presenting struggling but am of the view that the kind of people that follows you matters a lot so we need to be intentional about the kind of people that you should follow because they have a very great influence over you and if you find yourself around people that are not for sighted enough to see the future it's better you cut off from them as they had a great influence over you

Aside from op itself, this thread has some solid comments.

I don't understand what you mean by saying apart from op itself, are you saying that what am saying is not good enough to be described as being solid the fact remains that the kind of persons around you play a long way in how far you go in life and it's even so in the economic point of view there is no way you soround your self with poor people and expect to be rich that will not be possible because those around you has a poverty mentality which they will also you in affecting you

I meant OP has good point and similarly, comments have also good points that one can learn from. It was all in a positive tone.

But yeah, I figured I fucked up there and have changed the wording accordingly.

In recent time, we are having very few peoples those are able to have associations which helps you for having success and achieving your goals in life because things are completely change and life is going fast with no one want to have you on your level so you have to do things by your own if you want to be better and successful in life.

Yeah, bitter truth is, associations use you and then after completing their own requirements then throw you for challenges which bring negativity or give you hardest time so better just start your own and try to manage yourself for having things good for your future. We have many examples peoples those started their lives alone have better success instead of going through with associations which collapses due to internal issues.

[el kaka22]

There is definitely a connection there, there is no argument from me. I agree that if you want to have a better future, you need to have a better people around you. I have seen this impact before, ı had a few great friends in the crypto world who did work on projects together and made some money, it didn't really felt that great because we also spent some money, so in the end we made very little, not really a lot, but in theory, we made a lot of money because revenue was huge, just that because we spent a lot to reach that revenue, it meant that profit was low, but I would say it is still good because we could have made a huge huge loss if we didn't earn any.

That was all thanks to great people in that project, so I am quite happy and can testify that having good people around you makes you do greater things in life. I have met with a lot of people in many different industries thanks to crypto world, and learned so much about life, so crypto has given me a great surrounding without a doubt.

I don't think there is any place in the thread where OP said changing your friends will automatically lead to financial prosperity. He and others who have commented on this discussion are simply exposing how the right company can aid us in achieving our goals and objectives. Of course, if you don't apply other positive habits, having the best friends will not lead to financial prosperity. But a good friend can give good financial advice or might even support you both morally and financially in business or career.

This is true. Remember when we are kids and our parents or elders don't let us be friends or spend time with certain kids? It's because they know that their company and association are not good for us in the long run because their habits or things they do aren't very good, and they don't want us to become like them.

That thing applies to every stage of our lives. If positive things and people surround us, we are going to become the same and vice versa. This is also the reason why some people are always interested in attending gatherings with successful and rich people because they want to become like them in the future. You listen to ideas and ideologies, you see and learn how certain things are done, and these things will reflect in your life.

So, you are right that associations can make a big difference in our lives.

[uche6215]

Along with op itself, this thread has some solid comments.

One thing I would like to add is, with Internet it's become easy to 'surround' yourself with different kinds of people, irrespective of where you are irl. So, I'd say It's better to be cautious what you do on Internet as well.

Welcome to loneliness where you always focus with yourself and don't care with anything including friends, even you will choose money over your friends, or over everything.

I think self-centeredness is right word here, loneliness means something else altogether.

I won't say association or group that not really focus to chase money and value friendship more is bad or negative thing, but it's their choice. They're happier to live with true friends instead of chasing money as much as they can and have no friends.

It's more like surrounding yourself with people whose goals and values are same as yours. If not, you'll be distracted.

You're actually right because the Internet is one thing that has really become a problem to many people today as it's now a tool of distraction so using the Internet for the right purpose too is very important as it is very fundamental in the growth stage of anyone especially when it comes to the economic aspect of individual

[Sanitough]

Your circle of friends will tell you who you are. Our mindset will change depending on the people surrounding us. Not totally it changes everything but can certainly affect our decision-making in the sense that we hear and listen to their advice. Thus, if we want to have a better life, making friends with those who are business personalities is a good idea. Maybe some people will think it is difficult for someone who is poor. Yes, but it is not necessarily that we have to become like them, we just need their ideas and start making our own. 

[Victorybit1]

To change the current position you are in you must change your association and also your environment if you can. It's easy fro anyone to be influenced by the people they hangout with and their environment. If you are the type of person that is struggling financially there's no point in trying to make friends that are also in the same situation, try to link up with those that are stable and also get ideas from them on how to become financially stable like them. For your situation to change you must make a move, you can do that by trying to leave your environment and focus on networking.
