The idea of surrounding yourself with strong and successful people is just a ridiculous self-help fantasy.
All those tips about how important it is to be around successful people to grow sound nice, but think about it: why would they need you?
An ordinary guy trying to climb out of his daily grind. So what? There are millions like you. Why would a successful person, solving problems on a completely different level, want to bring you into his circle? Why would he drag along a dead weight with no real value?
The path to growth is always through solitude. It’s that moment when you ask yourself the hard questions, make your own decisions, and fight for opportunities on your own. There is no magical “supportive circle” waiting to help you out. The magic isn’t real. Put the wand away.
First, you need to become someone worth being around. Achieve something. Show your results.
Building a “strong circle” around yourself is just a naive dream for readers of those “Path to Success” blogs.
