It Takes a Village: How to Build a Powerful Personal Support System with Intention

There’s no such thing as a self-made man (or woman.)  We need other people to thrive. But how can you be intentional about creating your own cheering squad, support system and personal board of directors? That’s exactly what Ashley Joy and I dive into in this episode.

Today’s conversation is about the power of proximity – as in, the power of the people closest to you in your life.

This probably doesn’t come as a surprise to you because of sayings like this:

You roll with the dogs, you’re gonna get fleas – I remember my mom saying that one to me in high school.

What about this one? Show me your friends and I’ll show you your future.

And then Motivational speaker Jim Rohn once said – You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.

So if the people we surround ourselves with have the ability to play such an important role in who we are and who we become, it tracks that we should aim to be intentional about who exactly those people are.

Since that’s easier said than done, in today’s conversation with Ashley Joy, a mom, wife, coach and motivational speaker for women, she shares the 5 exact people that you need in your support group, your kitchen cabinet, your personal board of directors – whatever you want to call it – these are the 5 powerful people whose proximity can change everything.
