Time to Upgrade Your Friends?

There is a saying that goes something like this: The person
you are today is a direct by-product of the books you read
and the people you hang out with. If you are not where you
want to be in life, it might be time to upgrade your
friends. Take this simple quiz to see"

1. Are your friends generally on time for get-togethers?
2. Are any of your friends on the road to financial
independence?
3. Do you have any friends who own their own business
(or have aspirations to do so)?
4. Would you ever consider trading lives with any of your
friends?
5. Are your friends "happy"?
6. Do any of your friends have clear goals they are working
towards?

If you answered "no" to most of those questions, the time
has come to stop hanging out with people who have less
going for them than you do. Think about your goals, dreams
and aspirations; make new friends who can support you in
those. If you have plans to own your own business,
befriend a business owner. If you dream of financial
independence, find some like-minded individuals to add to
your circle.

No one says you have to ditch our old friends, just make
room for the new ones.
