It is commonly said that “you become the average of the five people you spend the most time with“.
This stipulates that if you hang out with 5 intelligent people, you will soon become the 6th.
5 ambitious people and you will become the 6th.
5 lazy people, and you will become the 6th. The same rule applies
This is the power of association.
Research has shown that being around a high performer even without directly engaging with them, increases one’s conscientiousness and ambition, and heightens their chances of exploring their own inner excellence.
After doing a deep introspection, I have come to the realisation that one of the factors that has had the most influence on my career trajectory over the past two years has been the network I have built - the relationships I have cultivated professionally.
After meeting world leaders, including the president of Kenya, organising several youth events convening hundreds of young people across the country, winnive several prestigious awards, networking and collaborating with industry leaders across active entrepreneurial hubs on the continent, and travelling to over 4 African countries, I have culminated these experiences into The One Percent - a community of young professionals and entrepreneurs, intentional about growing and scaling their careers and ventures.
The One Percent is a lifetime membership community that gives ambitious young people a platform to rub shoulders with other successful leaders, engage in collaborative sessions to ideate, execute, and scale.
