Raise your average

You're the average of the five people you spend the most time with. Why choosing your work environment is one of the most underrated decisions for anyone building something.

Raise your average

There's a line you've probably heard: you're the average of the five people you spend the most time with. It's credited to Jim Rohn, and while it isn't an exact law, it points to something anyone has felt. The people around you rub off on you, their way of thinking, their standards, even their conversations. Who you spend your days with shapes you, for better or worse.

If that's true, the next question is: who are your five?

The room pulls you

When you work surrounded by people building something, some of it rubs off. You hear how someone else solved a problem you've been stuck on, someone introduces you to the person you'd been looking for all along, a hallway chat shifts your focus for the week. It isn't magic, it's proximity. Being near people who are moving moves you.

And it works the other way too. An environment where no one is growing quietly drags down your own pace without you noticing.

Who you sit next to

That's why we think of Kiin Hub as a community more than a space. Here you sit near business owners, consultants, remote workers and entrepreneurs building serious things in the Riviera Maya. At events, at the next table, at the coffee machine, you end up crossing paths with the people who raise your average.

It isn't only about having somewhere to work. It's about who's around you.

To wrap up

Choosing your environment is one of the most underrated decisions for anyone building something. If you want your five people to be people who are also pushing, you know where to find them.
