James Laughlin argues that negative people will kill your goals. If the first person you tell about a dream reacts without curiosity or enthusiasm, you'll likely quit within two weeks. Surround yourself with people who actually care.
Who do I need to keep out of my goal setting strategy? Because they're people who are just bad apples in your personal life, in your professional life, right? And they're Debbie Downers or they're people who just rain on your parade. You know, what we know is that the first person who weighs in on your big dream or big goal, if they do it without curiosity and enthusiasm, you are bound to abandon that goal in the next two weeks. Think about that. Think about the fact that when you have a big dream or a big goal, there's some people you need to eliminate or containerize in your life.
