LESSON 4
" SURROUND YOURSELF WITH RIGHT RELATIONSHIPS "
Your potential is tied to the relationships you have . You must wisely choose your mentors and your inner circle . I want to talk about the inner circle first . When God calls you to lead , he will send you the individuals you need to see the vision come to pass . Good leaders focus on their weaknesses , great leaders focus on their strengths and surround themselves with other leaders that compliment their strengths . Therefore , its so important to choose wisely those around you . Those closest to you should never leave you hanging . Do not forget this one key point . You are the sum of the five people you hang out with the most . Here are a few things to look for in people for those relationships :
Character , Integrity , and Excellence People who you can trust People who listen to their instincts
The other part to this principle is your mentor . Find someone who can speak into your life and no matter the cost , do what it takes to spend time with them . There is a concept I learned several years ago called Define-Learn-Do . You should define exactly what you want your level of influence to be or what your ultimate vision is .
