Episode 384: What "Like-Minded People" Actually Means (And Why You're Getting It Wrong)

Episode SummaryThink surrounding yourself with like-minded people means finding people who agree with you? Amber Fuhriman challenges that assumption head-on, breaking down what like-minded truly means and why the people who think differently than you are the ones who will actually help you grow.Key Topics CoveredWhy the common definition of "like-minded" keeps you stuck in your own echo chamberHow surrounding yourself with people who only validate your beliefs feeds the gremlins telling you you're not good enoughWhat a truly like-minded person looks like: shared values of growth, compassion, and openness, not shared opinionsWhy you should actively seek out people on the opposite side of the aisle to challenge and sharpen your thinkingHow to audit the people in your life and identify who is actually helping you grow versus keeping you limitedNotable Quotes"A like-minded person to me is someone who shows up in a space that is open, welcoming and appreciative. A place that says, I may not completely agree with everything you say, and I respect your right to think it.""One is going to lead you to the growth that you want personally and professionally. The other is going to allow you to stay stuck in your old limitations, justify your shitty beliefs about what you're capable of, and feed those gremlins in your head that tell you you're not good enough.""When we surround ourselves with people who actually think differently than we do, we give ourselves the opportunity to think about problems differently than we think about them now." Call to ActionBook a free strategy call with Amber: https://calendly.com/amberfuhriman/connection-call?month=2021-05Join the Break Your Bullsh*t Box Community: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/185xJ6KALu/Check out Amber's Speaker Reel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPj5OBvjrr0 Hosted on Acast.
