Tell Them What You Really Want (ft. @leilahormozi)

Summary

• I believe that red flags can be subjective. What might be a red flag for one person could be a green flag for another, depending on their goals.
• The important questions to ask are: Where do you want to go? How do you want to get there? What do we do in the meantime?
• It's crucial to align on similar missions, values, and interests with others.
• Be honest about your true desires and beliefs, not just what you think others want to hear.
• Many people avoid being honest due to fear, but honesty is essential in any relationship.
• If you can't be truthful with someone, it may be worth questioning why you are in a relationship with them.

How To Take Action

I would suggest starting with some reflection. Ask yourself the big questions: "Where do I want to go?" and "How do I want to get there?" These questions will guide your decisions. They will help you figure out what your goals are and how you plan to reach them.

A good way of aligning with others is to surround yourself with people who have similar missions, values, and interests. This means working or partnering with people you truly connect with on important life and business values. This way, the journey becomes more enjoyable and less conflicted.

Being honest is key. Practice being open about your true desires and beliefs. Don't say what you think others want to hear. It might be tough at first, but honesty builds strong relationships and trust. If you find you can't be truthful with someone, take a moment to reconsider why you're involved with them. Relationships should be built on authenticity.

Finally, remember: what might be a problem for one person could be an opportunity for another. Always choose what matches your end goals, not someone else’s expectations. Use this mindset to turn potential obstacles into stepping stones toward success.

By focusing on these strategies, you’ll create an environment that helps both personal and business growth in the most authentic way possible.
