Mike Del Ponte: Who's in your top 50 list?
In this episode, Rich and Mike discuss:
- Hire a coach.
- Stop proving yourself.
- Friendships and relationships
- Putting effort into relationships but not receiving the same back
- Keeping relationships and making new ones
Key Takeaways:
- The secret to being a great startup CEO is to have a coach. Always seek out people who were ahead of you and could help you to accomplish your goals.
- Happiness doesn't come from proving yourself or reaching certain milestones in life; it comes from having love, family, faith, and friends.
- You might feel like you have lots of acquaintances but no real friends when you have friends all over, so try listing the top 50 people who are most important to you. Track their progress in life on a standing call to maintain that list and your relationship.
- Give people the benefit of the doubt if you are intentional with them and they do not reciprocate. The key to living a happy, peaceful life is to not take anything personally.
- To maintain current relationships and form new ones, stay true to yourself and don't try to be something you're not - know what feels right for you, know what your values and strengths are, and embrace those.
"Take inventory of the relationships in your life and if you're happy with how everything is, keep it as it is. And if you see an area for improvement, then maybe consider a structure." — Mike Del Ponte
