I act weird when I get out of movies.Hi. I'm Daniel Fox, business growth speaker and coach. And today I want to talk a little bit about the influences we surround ourselves with.There's this thing that happens inevitably when I'm walking back to the car with the kids or whomever I'm out with, and I'll start mimicking one of the characters in the movie.My whole affect changes. My body language, my actual language, my gait, my tone of voice, even my accent.Sometimes I can't get out of it. I get stuck in character!So listen, I know that's weird and I don't expect that everyone is as susceptible to that as me, but it's something that I've decided to consciously use to my advantage.But maybe you've heard this idea? "You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with." It's a Jim Rohn quote.The culmination of these two ideas inspired me to engage in an old practice of consciously curating what I take in.The conscious part comes when I start asking questions:
What are my goals? 
Do I want a life similar to the person I'm listening to (and not just money, or influence, but heart and relationships and social impact and joy)?This goes for media as well as personal relationships. I want my peers to be the most successful, biggest hearted, most joyful, smart and kind people that I can find - and that has become my standard.I absolutely will hang out with people who don't have their shit together in all those ways, and that's because I value teaching and mentoring other people, (just like I have teachers and mentors).So I keep looking at the lives of the people closest to me and the media I consume because if I'm not careful, I'll end up walking around in a diaper with a dog best friend talking in a pseudo-British accent about taking over the world and no one wants that.Wanna learn more about how to create a 6-figure business or add another 6-figures to your bottom line?
