A Question of Influence?

What are your influences? It's a question that is usually asked of singers, musicians, and artists as a way of determining what that person is most likely to produce. The same can be said of you and me. How we spend our time, what we spend our time on, who we spend it with, and why we spend it there are great indicators or predictors of what WE are most likely to produce. Today is a good day to ask yourself these five key questions.

1.    What and who are the influencers in your life?
2.    What sources of information are you allowing in?
3.    Who are you listening to?
4.    How are they shaping you?
5.    Are you even aware of it?

Take an honest and open look at your results. Can you say with confidence that your key influences or influencers are the best they can possibly be? Are you likely to produce the results you're looking for if these same influences remain in place? What needs to change? Who needs to change? When will you commit to making those changes?

To truly be a person of great influence, we must surround ourselves with truly great influences. As the old saying goes: What goes down in the well comes up in the bucket. What's coming up in yours?
