Side Effects

There was an interesting side effect from my ‘Just Fired’ email last week.

And once again I take a good lesson out of that.

If you missed that email, you can catch up?here.

So what happened?

A couple of people unsubscribed.

Now, some might think that’s a bad thing cause I’ve obviously hit a nerve with those people.

To me that’s the perfect outcome.

They were never going to be a good fit with DPM anyways.

I don’t think I stepped out of line or bagged anyone.

All I did was say what I wasn’t going to be prepared to cop – and that’s constantly being stood up without notice.

Not too much to ask.

If that is? Well I can tell who’d be hard to work with.

And for me if that prompted someone who would’ve likely done that should we have ever worked together, then I think of that message as serving it’s purpose.

One, telling a story, and two, repelling someone where we wouldn’t have been a great fit for each other.

The one thing i’d like to think I have is a bit of self awareness and realise that it’s okay if I’m not a good fit for everyone.?

And them for me.

They might be great people, and like I said with the case last week, it was probably cause of other stuff going on in his life.

So I don’t take it personal.

I just know that when I work with someone I want them to have the same amount of buy in to their journey that I have to their success.

Have a good weekend and Happy Mothers Day to any mum reading.

Cheers,

Daniel
