But don\u2019t overlook it, because it\u2019s true of all facets of life, not just business. In fact, it\u2019s why I suggest you have prepper friends.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How our friends influence us<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No matter who you are, you\u2019re still influenced by the people with whom you spend the most time. You tend to prioritize the things that are consistently mentioned and practiced, so if you get together with a few friends to do some canning or to work on a bug-out property, not only are you bonding, but you\u2019re practicing important skills.<\/p>\n<p>When your friends support prepping as a positive and reasonable activity, you\u2019ll be a lot more likely to focus on it regularly. After all, it\u2019s a lot of fun to share a great score of kerosene lamps at a yard sale with people who will actually join you in your excitement.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, if your peers constantly denigrate or mock your preparedness efforts, it can be quite demotivating. Who wants to be the object of rolled eyes and deep sighs all the time? You may stick with your efforts in private, but being surrounded by folks like this can make what you\u2019re doing feel far less important \u2013 or even ridiculous.<\/p>\n<p>Motivation and encouragement can\u2019t be overlooked as the impetus to help you become better prepared.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What if you don\u2019t know any preppers?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The funny thing about prepper friends is that they\u2019re not always \u201cpreppers.\u201d\u00a0 While it can be awesome to find a group of people who share your interests completely, it isn\u2019t always practical.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;click on the above link to read the rest of the article&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Importance of Having Prepper Friends You\u2019ve probably all heard that old success adage that warns, \u201cYou are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.\u201d The guy credited with saying this was Jim Rohn, who is widely accepted as the world\u2019s top business philosopher.
