When it comes to the feelings of others, you don’t have to get it, you don’t have to agree but a little respect is in order, don’t ya see?

I listened in on a web cast the other night by Bill Baren, www.BillBarenCoaching.com called “the big income shift. It was about five big shifts you can make to substantially increase your income in 2010. Bill made some very good points and there’s one in particular I’d like to expand on.

Bill talked about the importance of surrounding yourself with people who are “where you want to be” as far as income. Many people tend to hang with people who are LESS successful. It feeds their ego and makes them feel “better”. And it keeps them where they are.

 Without a doubt, the strategy he talked about is a much smarter one. AND it has to be done right. Some nuances, if I may. Make sure your integrity around this is intact. Yes, surround yourself with people who are earning the income you aspire to AND make sure you like and respect these people!

On the other end, carefully evaluate those you may want to spend less time with. Weed them out gradually and don’t burn bridges. I think the trick with this strategy is to manage the delicate balance of achieving the goal while not losing the respect of others and yourself.

Ready to try this and make 2010 a banner year?
