Why Your Environment Shapes Your Success
Paul shares how his mindset shifted the moment he left the negativity of his 100-hour-week law enforcement circle and began surrounding himself with entrepreneurs. The people around you either pull you backward or push you forward—and success requires protecting your environment like your future depends on it.
🔑 Key takeaways:
Your environment influences your habits before your mindset ever does.
Surround yourself with people who talk about building, not complaining.
Energy is contagious—negative company drains drive, positive company fuels it.
Your circle determines your ceiling.
Audit your environment often; elevation requires separation.
If everyone around you hates Mondays, you’ll start hating Mondays too. But when you’re surrounded by builders, investors, and dreamers—you’ll start thinking differently and acting bigger.
🎧 Tune in now to learn how to upgrade your circle, protect your peace, and create an environment that pulls success out of you.

Restrictions and fee may apply. Welcome to the Level Up Podcast.
I'm your host, Paul Alex.
I went from being a comp to an eight-figure entrepreneur that helps average people like you and me make money every single day.
I created this podcast to help you get motivated and to crush your goals. Let's win together.
Remember, I have your six. Get ready to level up right now.
What's up, everybody? Welcome back to the Level Up Podcast. Today, we're going to be talking about your environment and why it can make or break your future.
You could have the best goals in the world, but if you're surrounded by the wrong energy, it's like running with weights on, guys.
When I was still working about 100-hour weeks in law enforcement, I didn't realize how much negativity I was actually carrying home. Everyone complained.
Everyone was tired.
When I started spending time with entrepreneurs, my life changed. I stopped seeing problems.
I started seeing possibilities.
If you're a 9 to 5er and everyone around you hates Monday, you'll start hating Monday too.
But when you start hanging around people who talk about building, saving, investing, and giving, you begin to think differently.
See, your environment rewires your mindset before your mindset ever changes your life. You have to protect your space.
Your circle is either fueling your dream or it's feeding your doubt.
So here's a challenge that I want to challenge every single one of you. Look at the five people you talked to the most this week.
And I want you to ask yourself, do they drain me or do they drive me?
And if the answer is drain, it is time to upgrade your environment. So that's how you shift from doubt to drive one move at a time, guys.
So no matter where you're at in your journey, remember, you got to keep leveling up. Thanks for listening up to the Level Up Podcast.

What if I told you that many of the rules that you've been told about money aren't actually true?
On This Time is Different, we're hosting long-form conversations that challenge the consensus thinking around markets, the economy, and your money more broadly. I'm Malcolm Etheridge.
I'm Ricky Mulvey. And on This Time is Different, we'll make sense of this strange new economy.
We'll explore the stock market, its its alternatives, and hear from investors, writers, those who think a little differently to educate and entertain you.
