Most people believe life is supposed to be tough and big things only happen to other people. When something good happens to them, they wait for the other shoe to drop and for something to go wrong. As a result, their belief system usually finds a way to sabotage their new-found success and return them back to their homeostatic state. People that work for others and earn an average wage generally associate with those who have a similar station in life and similar belief systems. In this way, the masses remain stuck, reinforce their beliefs, and maintain the same homeostatic state.
Even though entrepreneurs also generally associate with others of similar standing, this group thinks about things differently from the way the average worker does. Therefore, changing your associations is the best way to break out of your ho-hum belief system, expose yourself to new belief systems, and adjust your homeostatic state. If you desire to become rich, hang around rich people. If you desire to become an entrepreneur, hang around entrepreneurs to expose yourself to their belief systems and incorporate them into your own life.
