Was wowed by this powerful quote I'd heard yesterday: "You are the average of the five people that you spend the most time with." (It's attributed to Jim Rohn.)
It seemed to be much more powerful than the famous Silicon Valley mantra of "A Players hire A Players; B Players hire C Players."
Since for most working professionals (and especially so for entrepreneurs) almost all the 5 people (that we spend the most time with) are likely to be co-workers, why would we ever hire a "B Player" again?
