Who are the 5 most important people in your professional life?

Identify them.

You can’t succeed in business by yourself –
so who is helping you?

And who are you helping?

You are the average of the 5 people you spend most time with. This was one
of the most striking lines I connected with when I first started working for
myself.

Who is in your professional circle that lifts you up? How are you raising the
average of the group and what are you learning from them?

These points are critical in my thinking and my approach to all I do
professionally. Almost all my projects are collaborations. It can be a lonely
place working for yourself so I surround myself with people who can lift me
up and we become a force greater than the sum of our parts.
