Max Out Insights:
The greatest detriment to our own success and being able to take joy in other people’s success is our own sense of shame, self-loathing, beating down on ourselves. With this self-hate we tend to not take joy in other people’s success and instead direct energy and power into putting up a facade. Be comfortable with yourself and let go of your insecurities, tap into the limitless power of contribution and selfless help.
Have full accountability on your life. Never place the blame of your decisions and mistakes on someone else. Own up the thoughts and opinions that make you.
Leadership is not a title and position. it’s about having a goal and objective with a way to get there. Accomplishing missions, creating an environment of safety for themselves and others both mentally and physically. They’re a resource for the success and prosperity of those around them without expectation of reciprocity.
Be curious, nothing works better for creating connection than curiosity. It’s fundamental to building valuable relationships. Be genuinely engaged and through it, uncover what you might have in common and what value you might bring to that person’s life.
