Usain Bolt and a co-speaker discuss how being around faster, better performers naturally pushes you to improve. A gym story shows how one runner unconsciously matched a faster runner's pace behind him. The principle applies to business too: stay in a group of killers and you'll rise, even if you're not the fastest.
I never ran track, but I've always heard that like if you ever want to be faster, you got to run with a bunch of people who are way faster than you. And there's something that happens with us as humans when you are surrounded by those who are like superior in, in, in, in their performance than you are. You're bound to be lifted up if you're as ambitious. If not, you're wasting everyone's time.
I was at the gym this morning and, uh, this guy is running behind me and I could feel him behind me. My pace slowed down coming back from one of the runs and his did too. And he goes, man, every time you slow down, I slow down. When you speed up, I speed up. It's like an innate thing in us. So I think putting yourself in the environment of people who are outpacing you in something you want to do well at, you'll naturally keep up with people. I've put myself in this position in business to— I like to be around people, and I don't have to be the number one guy at all if I put myself around people that are killing it. I just want to be in that group, kind of in that pack.
