SITUATION
You’re building discipline, stacking reps, and getting sharper.
But there’s one variable that can quietly sabotage all of it: your circle.
Not everyone around you is built for your mission.
Some distract you. Some drain you.
And some just don’t move like you do.
This week, you run a brutal audit.
Who sharpens you?
Who softens you?
Because environment beats intention, every time.
MISSION
Audit your inner circle and take one decisive step to upgrade the influence around you.
EXECUTION
a. Intent: Strengthen personal accountability, performance, and mindset by removing friction and surrounding yourself with aligned energy.
b. Actions:
- Identify Your Top 5 Weekly Influences
These could be people but can also be voices from podcasts, YouTube or mentors.
Write down who’s shaping your thoughts and standards.
- Categorise Each as Fuel or Friction
Fuel = sharpens you
Friction = slows you down, distracts, or dulls your edge
- Take One Action
Double down on one source of fuel.
Set a boundary, pause, or cut one source of friction.
ENDSTATE
By tightening your circle, you reinforce your standards.
You don’t rely on willpower, you build the right environment to win.
You move surrounded by focus, not noise.
SUSTAINMENT
a. Review your top influences monthly and make adjustments based on alignment, not comfort.
b. Intentionally plug into one high-standard community, mentor, or resource each week. Keep the focus strong.
BATTLEFIELD PHILOSOPHY
“You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.”
– Jim Rohn
CALL TO ACTION
Reply with one friction source you’re cutting or one fuel source you’re doubling down on. Draw the line.
