Why Your Circle Matters

If you're holding on to people who aren't moving, you're slowing yourself down. That might mean ending relationships with clients who drain your energy, breaking up with someone who doesn't move the way you do, or letting go of friendships that no longer align with who you're becoming.

And here's what I need you to hear. It doesn't make them bad. It makes you elevated. Growth requires space. The more you hold on to the past, the less room you have for your next level. Are always detoxing your circle. When you grow, you change. When you change, your standards shift. When your standards shift, not everyone will grow with you. And that's okay.

But the real question is, are you making space for the people who do move like you? Or are you holding on to people out of obligation, guilt or fear? When you start moving at a higher level, you will continuously be detoxing your circle. Because your energy is your greatest asset and you must protect it. The faster you remove the wrong people, the faster the right people show up. Your growth will always outpace those who stay stagnant.

If you're serious about evolving, you will constantly be outgrowing old dynamics. That's not a sign to slow down, shrink yourself, or second guess your expansion. It's proof you're moving in the right direction. You can't build a million dollar mindset while surrounding yourself with people stuck in lim limitation. If you're still taking on clients who drain you. If you're still entertaining low level buyers who don't respect your work, you are blocking higher level opportunities.

When I started letting go of clients who weren't a fit, better higher paying clients showed up effortlessly. My work felt exciting instead of exhausting, and I stepped into full alignment with the business I actually wanted. Your income is directly tied to your willingness to say no to the wrong clients. Your inner circle shapes your future.

If you keep surrounding yourself with people who aren't growing, who don't stretch you, who aren't obsessed with their next level, you will eventually match their energy. The moment I started removing people who made excuses instead of moves, doubted themselves instead of deciding, and talked about their dreams but never acted on them, my business grew, my energy shifted, and my life felt 10 times lighter. Who you surround yourself with will either pull you up or keep you stuck.

Surround yourself with people who not only lift you up, but respect your boundaries too. Ask yourself, who in my life is holding me back? Who am I still entertaining out of obligation? Where am I lowering my standards?

Instead of raising the bar, you can start by detoxing your circle with these five steps. First, ask yourself, are these people adding value to my life or are they draining my energy? Relationships should be mutually beneficial. If someone is constantly taking without reciprocating, it's time to let go. Second, do these people understand what I'm doing or do they make me feel bad for evolving?

If they make you feel like you have to dim your light or constantly explain yourself, they are not meant for your next level. Third, ask yourself, does this person want to go where I want to go? If they are content staying in the same place while you are reaching for more, you will eventually outgrow them. 4.

Fourth, do we have core value alignment? The people closest to you should reflect your values, priorities, and vision for your life. If they don't, that misalignment will slow you down. And lastly, trust the energy. Do you feel expansive around them, or do they leave you feeling heavy? If you have to shrink yourself to keep them in your life, it's time to release them. The faster you remove misaligned relationships, the faster the right ones will show up.
