My whole approach to things is leaving people better off than they were before they met me. Who I decide to have in my life is based on seeing how people that are more powerful treat people that are less powerful. It’s very easy for people to get to a certain stage of success where everyone is worshipping the ground they walk on, and they start treating restaurant servers like crap. Or they start yelling at their staff. Or they are disrespectful to people. Or they feel entitled and never say Thank You.
I always pay attention to behaviors. When nobody is watching, how do they treat people? Those people with admirable behavior, those are people I want to associate with.
I want to cut all ties with dishonest, negative, lazy, disrespectful people.
I want people who are GIVERS, not takers.
I don’t want exploitive people or narcissists. Narcissists can come across as some of the most charming, charismatic people, but they are wolves in sheep’s clothing.
Don’t just attract the Team Members and Clients that can make you money; Attract the people you love being with.
People who feel good to be around. The things to protect are your attention, confidence, and those things that bring you joy. And, as I learned from the late, great copywriter Gary Halbert, “Some games in life the only way you win is you don’t play.”
If you don’t like the way you feel in your business or with the people around you – change it. Life is too short.
