21 Aug Are you surrounded by mood hoovers or mood lifters?

There is something often overlooked in business, that can make a significant difference in how you feel, and the results you are delivering.

Have you ever met up with a friend you haven’t seen for a while, and they proceed to tell you everything that’s wrong in their life, all the problems they are dealing with and how there is nothing they can do about it?

By the end of the chat you’re feeling their negativity draining your energy.

One of my clients refers to these people as ‘mood hoovers’, as they seem to suck the positivity out of you!

On the flip side, when you meet up with someone who is brimming with positivity and has more of a ‘problem-solving’ attitude than a ‘problem-creating’ attitude, you leave the meeting feeling like anything is possible.

In business, as in life, who you surround yourself with can make a huge difference to you and your business.

Consider now, who are the top 6 people you are spending time with in your business. Are they a mood-hoover or a mood-lifter?

As Oprah says:
“Surround yourself with only people who are going to lift you higher”

Often, friends and family simply don’t get what it’s like, running a small business.

That’s why it’s so important to have your own business buddies – those people who you can share your challenges with, and who will give you constuctive, solution-focused advice, and who actually get what running a business is like, because they also run a business.

It’s another benefit of, and one of the reasons I love running, my 12 week Business Growth Masterplan programme.

Along with the coaching, training and accountability, you also get to share the experience with other business owners who ‘get it’, and whose experiences you can learn from.

With next round starting in September, this could be a perfect time for you if you need to expand or change your business buddies!
