You’ll not be able to grow if you’re around weak people.

I ended the partnership.

It was not something he expected. He was my best friend.

“Sorry, man, I have to call this partnership off” - he was devastated.

I might have been cruel to him. It was tough for me too.

But I had to do it to protect my sanity and work ethics.

When you are focused on playing the long game, there will be many distractions.

The biggest one can be weak people.

They can’t align with the adrenaline you have and might not share the same passion as yours.

The moment I let go of that partnership, I started gaining confidence and focus.

And that decision alone helped me grow.

Detach yourself from weak people.

They can block your thoughts, your creativity, and your ideas with their words and actions.

Spot them and politely step back to realign yourself with your life goals.

Psst: As for my friend, we’re still in touch and even friends.
