How much do you think you’re influenced by all the different people in your life? Here’s a powerful analogy from Dean Holland which illustrates how impactful it can be to surround yourself with positive people who inspire you, and people who motivate you in your life, and as an entrepreneur in your business…
“Good morning my friend! I hope you’re well. It is of course Monday, and I am of course Dean Holland. And we’re on the way to Internet Profits HQ right now.
I hope you had a good weekend. It is of course Monday, and I’ve got a bit of an adventurous week coming up. I’m actually kind of a witness to a wedding tomorrow, where I have to sign.
Robyn, my fiancé, it’s her brother. But they’re kind of doing the legal marriage here in this country, and then on Wednesday we’re actually flying out to Greece for their actual wedding. They have to do the legal side here for whatever reason. But anyway, so we’re actually flying out to one of the Greek islands on Wednesday.
Now, Heads Up!
A bit of a lesson in planning and preparation… I have been told this small Greek island we’re going to does not have very good internet, and it doesn’t have internet in the rooms – which is crazy in this day and age, right?
So I’m having to, just in case, I’m preparing some Drive episodes this week ahead of time for you, so that you can still hear from me. Planning, preparation, execution to keeping cranking out this greatness, haha!
Now I’ve got something that I want to share today. Something came into my mind over the weekend. You see, my fiancé Robyn actually grew up near Wimbledon in London, England. And because of that, she has still has a bit of an accent – what we would call like a cockney accent, like a London accent.

Surround Yourself With Positive People
So I want you to think about this in terms of starting and growing your business. You might think to yourself, “Well, y’know, it doesn’t matter too much who I hang out with, and what information I take in, and what I listen to – what beliefs I listen to, and what opinions I listen to.”
But the reality is, if somebody can be around certain people early on in life that speak a specific way, that have a specific accent because of where they live. And you pick up that accent, and it sticks with you for the rest of your life.
Then do you see how that lesson alone, tells us that who we hang out with – who we spend our time with, the opinions we listen to, the beliefs we take in around us – can absolutely impact the way we think and act in our lives. Does that make sense?
So if you think about it, like…
