The Big Idea: Celebrating other peoplesโ success creates an environment of success for everyone. The more we help each other and lift each other up, the more we can achieve ourselves.
Why It Matters: We tend to focus on other peopleโs failures โ schadenfreude is all too common. But a mindset of abundance, not scarcity, can have tremendous individual payoffs.
Key Messages: Weโre accustomed to competing with each other. Instead, we should just compete with ourselves and take every opportunity to mentor, coach, and support others. Like the mutual power of referrals, cheerleading others reflects back on us.
