Be cool…
Sometimes it blows my mind when I am meeting or talking with another individual who isn’t “cool.” I don’t use the word “cool” to mean “popular, well-liked, successful, etc.”– I mean business friendly. I get the feeling that people think that only one of us can be successful; if one company is successful, they automatically think that their company can’t be successful — there always has to be both a winner and a loser.
Frankly, I can’t stand this mentality. I truly believe that we can all be successful together. If you are doing well — that’s great! That’s why I love partnerships so much. If there is an opportunity to partner with another company and it will help the both of us be more successful than we would otherwise be…let’s do it.
Brings me back to the book: Love is the Killer App — if you haven’t read this book, it is a must read.
Brock - We met briefly at the Utah Geek Dinner in January. I told you I know your wife and used to room with some fellas from the soccer team.
Anyway, I couldn’t agree with you more. I used to think that I had to have a cut of everything I tried to introduce to anybody. I have been really trying to change my mindset, and the amazing this is that when your interested in helping other people succeed first, you seem to succeed yourself and to succeed more often. Great thought.
Brock- I could not agree with you more. I don’t like it when people act like they need to be better than the people they associate with. The business world is a big enough pie that we all can have our piece and when we help each other out the pie tastes that much better. Keep up the great work at Funding Universe.
