In an impassioned message aimed at entrepreneurs and professionals navigating today’s turbulent business world, acclaimed business coach Ken Okwara is sounding the alarm on a critical but often overlooked success factor: the company you keep.
Okwara, known for his practical strategies and motivational insights, warns that negative people can be the silent killers of ambition and progress. In a recent talk that has been shared widely across business forums and social media platforms, he emphasized that these individuals “pull you down, not by what they do overtly, but by what they repeatedly say — and choose not to say.”
“They will shout about your 20% failure but never acknowledge your 80% success,” Okwara said. “Their eyes are trained to see flaws. They cloak criticism as correction, but at the root, they are draining your momentum.”
According to Okwara, such people are often addicted to pessimism and feed on others’ stumbles for conversation and false superiority. “Failure gives them what to talk about. Your success, on the other hand, makes them uncomfortable.”
He further encouraged leaders and aspiring entrepreneurs to surround themselves with positive, uplifting individuals who offer strength, vision, and honest encouragement. “If you have one such friend — someone who believes in your potential even when things are tough — guard them like GOLD.”
Okwara’s message is part of a broader campaign he’s launching this year, focused on mental clarity, emotional resilience, and leadership by environment. As the global business climate grows increasingly volatile, he insists that the right relationships are no longer optional — they are essential.
“You don’t just need capital, strategy, or education to win,” Okwara concluded. “You need people who see the gold in you — not just the grit.”
