This Is What Happens When You Surround Yourself With People Who Want More
Your circle is either holding you back or pulling you higher. Choose the one that makes growth your baseline.
The People Around You Are Either Fuel or Friction
Every goal we chase is shaped, quietly but powerfully, by the people we choose to keep close. They either push us forward or hold us in place. They either reflect the highest version of who we’re becoming or remind us of who we used to be.
For Ava — who is one of the voices shaping House Volition from the inside — this truth isn’t just a nice idea; it’s a lived experience. “Community is everything to how I show up,” she says. “I thrive significantly on feeling seen and supported by the people around me and who I surround myself with.”
And that’s the heartbeat of what we’re building here: a space where ambition is normal, growth is the baseline, and support is the standard, not the exception.
Growth Isn’t a Solo Sport
There’s a moment in every journey where you realize that success isn’t just about what you do, it’s about who’s walking beside you.
The right circle doesn’t just cheer you on. They challenge you. They celebrate the small wins. They ask better questions that pull better answers out of you. And most importantly, they keep you accountable to the version of yourself you said you wanted to become.
Ava put it: the magic happens when the people around you are chasing their own growth, too.
“Having those people who also want to grow and support each other on that journey, that’s what makes it powerful.”
When everyone in the room wants more — more purpose, more impact, more life — complacency doesn’t stand a chance.
The Ripple Effect of Real Connection
Real community is about more than followers or names on a screen. It’s about showing up, again and again, for one another. It’s about recognizing faces, remembering names, and building trust over time. It’s about the opportunities that unfold when people genuinely root for your success.
And here’s the part most people miss: those opportunities don’t just happen, they multiply. New collaborations. Unexpected doors. Conversations that turn into partnerships. That’s what Ava’s talking about when she says those connections “open so many doors and opportunities,” they don’t just build a support system; they build momentum.
Your Environment Is Your Edge
The biggest myth in entrepreneurship, creativity, or any ambitious pursuit is that success is about talent. But talent without the right environment often goes nowhere.
The truth is, proximity is power. Being around people who are obsessed with growth can help you rewire your own standards. It normalizes big goals. It makes you believe, not just in what’s possible, but in what’s inevitable when the right energy surrounds you.
Join the People Who Want More
If you’re reading this and feel like you’ve been trying to do it alone — building your dream, scaling your vision, creating your thing — maybe it’s time to stop going solo.
Because here’s the truth:
You’re not meant to build in isolation.
You’re not meant to carry the whole dream yourself.
And you’re definitely not meant to settle for a circle that doesn’t stretch you.
At House Volition, we’re building more than a network; we’re building a movement. One that thrives on ambition, multiplies opportunity, and turns shared dreams into collective wins.
This is what happens when you surround yourself with people who want more. And trust us, you’re just getting started.
