I've had a crap week - I lost 10 friends
I'm not sure if you have experienced the same with a group of friends, some you meet through business and became close, others just through personal networks. Over the years you have put yourself out for them, never questioned their intent but trusted them.
Of the 10 friends 6 I would consider my dinner party friends...top of the list.
And then zap - they're gone.
I generally think I'm a good read of character. So when you lose 10 friends in a day, it hits you pretty hard.
The hole in my heart is big.?
We can't always decide what happens to us, but we can decide the impact of that action to our future self.
Today I know the energy from others around me will close that hole and I will create space to review, react and reset my friends/connections and the relationships going forward.
So what happened....
I simply asked for support. I've never asked any of the 10 for support. I've been there numerous time for each of them. There was never any conditions to the support, just an assumption (rightly or wrongly) that if asked they would be there for me.
I asked them to be part of the accountability monthly program and provide a video testimonial.?
Why they said no
To be honest the excuses were pretty poor. It made me realise that the optics of these people showed who they really were.?
It made me ask
Why wouldn’t someone want to increase their efficiency and results?
The simple answer (and Google agrees) is because they are happy with their status quo. They will change when they are forced to change rather then seek to be a better person then when they woke up.
I did start to question in my mind their leadership style and maybe some of the issues they have mentioned over the past 12 months are self inflicted.

It seems not everyone in my network wants to make a difference.
HELLO!!?I only have time for those that desire growth, that desire to make a difference, a belief that knowledge, personal development and opportunity takes effort.
Success is based on the decisions you make, it's not a gift.
My decision is not to invest time in status quo people.
My time, my energy, my life is worth so much more. I wasn't put on this plant to simply pay bills and die. I desire more.
It's time to own your choices.
Whether your choice is business or personal be accountable. Celebrate your success, seek knowledge when it gets tough and rise above the noise.
