There are so many benefits an opportunities that comes with surrounding yourself with like minded individuals . The energy you receive that comes from those who share similar passions and interest enables you to become a better you. For me there is nothing better then the energy I receive from those who are as excited and as passionate as myself, about pursuing their dreams and becoming their own boss.I recently stubbled across a very interesting post from marketing and business guru Loren Ridinger, (www.Lorensworld.com). She talked about 5 conferences every business person should attend. I found this post very interesting because I am a firm believer, that you are the company you keep. I'm learning that as you grow, you become a product of your environment. One thing I cant stand is a negative Nancy's, or being around people who just don't get it. Being around people who always feel the need to voice their opinion, and make suggestions without you asking could and would eventually becomes a down fall. Often, we don't realize the impact these individuals may have on your life. The people we surround ourselves with can easily discourage us from pursuing our goals, or make us self-conscious about a ideal; that's why is best to keep some goals and ideals inside and pursue them privately. I choose to spend my personal time with those who share similar characteristics such as myself. These are the people who helps me become a better me, the people that encourages and motivates me to want better, to do better and strive for more.
Below is the list of conference that Loren suggested are great for business owners and those that are pursuing there dreams. Feel free to comment below, and don't forget to subscribe.
