Who's in your space

Who's in your space?

Who's in your space matters more than you think. The right people will fuel your fire, the wrong ones will dim your light. Choose your circle wisely.” - Dale Earp

THE DALE EARP WAY:

Let me ask you something: who are you talking to the most? Who’s in your ear when things get tough, or when you’re plotting your next big move?

The people you surround yourself with have massive influence over your mindset, your goals, and your future. Whether you realize it or not, those daily conversations are shaping who you are and where you’re headed. So it’s time to do a little self-check: Are the people in your circle lifting you higher, or are they keeping you stuck where you are?

Are you doing the eye roll thing, thinking "Yeah, yeah, I've heard all this before"?

The Dale Earp Way

Well here’s the truth—success isn’t just about your skills or strategies; it’s about who you allow into your space.

The right people will challenge you to grow, hold you accountable when you slack, and inspire you to think bigger than you thought possible. They’ll level you up because they’re not afraid to tell you the truth and remind you of your potential.

But the wrong people?

They’ll drain your energy, fuel your doubts, and keep you small. And sometimes, it’s not even intentional—it’s just that they’re not aligned with where you’re going. Trust me, you don't want them getting too close. You must hold space for the right people...and protect that space. Don't let the wrong people fill it up, because believe me...they will tangle you up like the fast-growing weeds in a garden.

So here’s your challenge: audit your circle. Take a hard look at the voices you’re allowing to influence you. Are they encouraging your growth or enabling your comfort zone? Start seeking out people who inspire you, who are ahead of you on the path, and who genuinely want to see you win.

Conversations matter. The right ones can spark new ideas, ignite motivation, and set you on a course for greatness. Be intentional about who you’re sharing your time, energy, and dreams with, because that’s how you keep leveling up—every single day. So....who's in your space?
