Beware Of Your Environment & Associations… by {Rob Moore}
Let’s talk about the importance of your environment and associations and how they impact you. Your environment in this case refers to the things that are going on around you and they effect us all in different ways. For example, let’s say one of your friends comes up to you and tells you how terrible their day is going. He/She gets very emotional about it and they keep going on and on about it. This situation is going to start to bring you down as well in some level.
Your associations are similar but really pertain to the people that you hang out with the most. For example, if you hang out with losers, you are also a loser or on your way to becoming one. If you hang out with positive people you are positive yourself or on your way to becoming positive. This is some powerful information I’m sharing with you right now and can be used to your advantage.
In order to succeed in life, you have to be able to control how your environments as well as associations effect you and your life. In the story you just heard, I let these two things run my life for a long time and I missed out on a lot of great opportunities because of that. I hung out with my teammates most of the time. I was influenced by what they said to me, thought about me, and how they acted towards me. It is very difficult for some people to reject the influence that they are around all of the time. I learned from this mistake and I promised myself that I would never let it happen again.
Another great tip is that if you want something that someone else has is to hang out with them and it will get all over you. My favorite exercise is to tell people to look at the five people in their life that they spend the most time with. Then look at how much money they are making on a yearly basis and average all five of these incomes together. Most likely that average is going to equal or come very close to what you are currently making on a yearly basis.
If you are not happy with the income you are currently making, look at what you want to be making. Then find the people that make that income and surround yourself with those people. You will start to act like them, talk like them, develop the same habits like them, and so much more. This will help to turn you into the person you need to be in order to get what you want.
Another great example has to do with my son. Not too long ago since my son has been living with me he has been doing great in school. During his second year of living with me he lost focus for one quarter and I couldn’t believe the grades that he brought home. This was not like him at all and I had to find out what was going on.
After further investigation I found out that he was hanging around with the wrong crowd at school. I then had a conversation with him about the importance of staying focused, doing well in school, and shared some of the information that I shared with you with him.
He started to move away from the types of friends that would be a bad influence and started hanging out with the ones that were doing the right things. The next quarter’s report card showed that he took my advice. His grades on that report card were outstanding.
I’m not telling you what to do but sometimes we have to make adjustments to our associations if we’re not where we want to be. If you have toxic or negative people in that five person circle, you have to make a change if you want different results. I’m always looking to upgrade my relationships in order to achieve my goals and I have to tell you, it works.

The Event That Woke Me Up… by {Rob Moore}
It was June 25, 1995, the day of my high school graduation. I was excited that school was finally over. During the ceremony, I noticed something going on that I believe nobody else in the audience was paying any special attention to.
My class consisted of 154 students and I noticed that approximately 10-15 students got to sit on the stage during the entire ceremony while the rest of the class had to sit with the audience. At the time, I didn’t understand why this was so but I did know that they were all pretty smart students.
When the time came for us to get our diplomas those students were called last. As soon as the principal called the first student from this small group and mentioned their grade point average which was in the nineties. I had figured out what had been going on. It became obvious to me that all of those students were on the stage because they had the highest grades in the class.
As the names continued to be called, the grades got higher and higher and I began to feel disappointed with what I had accomplished up until that point in school. Next, I heard a ninety-nine point three and then a ninety-nine point seven. I thought to myself, how can these grades be possible? Then something happened that I thought was impossible. The final student that was called, the Valedictorian had a GPA of 100%.
I knew at that moment that I was sleeping through school and that I could have done a lot better than I actually did. I realized that this student had to get a 100% on every quiz, every project, every test, and every exam in order to get that grade. In fact, all of those students had to work extremely hard in order to get those kinds of results.
While I was giving it 80%, these students were giving it 100%. While I was trying to fit in with the crowd, these students were proud to be a part of a different crowd. While I was just trying to just get through high school, these students were trying to get into college.
The point of the story…
You can’t become successful in anything by simply SHOWING UP physically in your career, business, relationship, or your life on a daily basis. It’s happening everyday to a majority of people and they don’t realize it.
Famous film director, comedian, writer, actor, and musician by the name of Woody Allen said that “Eighty percent of success is showing up”.
I believe that…
“Simply Showing Up Is Not Enough, You Have To Be Present As Well Spiritually, Intellectually, & Emotionally!” – Rob Moore
