Editor's Notes
Who are you? If nobody else told you what you wanted, what would you want?
What are your non-negotiables?What are your negotiables?
Airline oxygen mask. Distinction: wonderfully SELFISH vs. horribly SELF-CENTERED. Self-centered people drain your energy and reserves because they don’t know what they need. Selfish people know their needs and meet them in a proper and constructive way, it allows them to be generous when it counts. Oh no, not another committee??? - Learn to say No
If you are going to change to meet your own purpose in your own life. You need to take control of your own self-development and control what you attract.
Example of bridge building: People can’t just go into sales, 55% can’t sell, 25% sell the wrong things. This means 80% of salespeople are not good at selling.
Notice that there’s a little something wrong with this bridge?I was highly successful at something I did not enjoy --computer graphics. I built the wrong bridge.
It can take several spans to complete your bridge. It took me four spans from job to freelance to management to sales to self-employed. Sometimes you build to something and, surprise, it is not for you and you have to keep building.
Word about trust: Before I refer you to my best client or friend, I have to trust that 1-you will make me look good, and 2-you won’t mess up my relationship with my client or friend.
We have to train our networks what to bring us.
I am someone who does not put up with much, therefore I let you know when you overstep, by respectfully talking with you.=Needs to be heard and respected, therefore when I am not heard I let you know by walking away in the middle of your sentence.
