“When you are grateful, fear disappears and abundance appears.”- Tony Robbins
Do you love to see others succeed?
.
Who has helped you the most in your career or in life?
.
Let’s acknowledge, seeing someone else enjoying success, while we’re struggling, can be difficult; regardless if it’s professionally, personally, etc.
What’s the Difference? – Abundance Mentality leaders see almost unlimited opportunities for themselves, regardless of the success others are enjoying. If an Abundance Mentality leader is competing for a slice of pie, and there isn’t enough pie left for them, they make another pie (i.e. create new, additional opportunities while allowing others to enjoy the current pie / opportunity).
Absence Mentality managers on the other hand, see opportunities more like a single pie. Thus; if someone else gets a big hunk, there’s less available for them or the other people whom they’re competing with for the balance of the remaining pie.
It’s especially fascinating to observe the behavior of people who are fighting for a “slice of pie” when they didn’t even help make it! Yet; they are absolutely convinced they deserve the biggest slice of pie. Further; they can be downright stingy and not share any of their unearned, but received pie, with anyone!
Abundance Mentality leaders possess these attributes. They’re:
+ Genuinely excited to see others succeed
+ Overly appreciative to those who have help them
+ Incredibly supportive of other Abundance Mentality leaders needing a hand-up
Absence Mentality managers, on the other hand, possess these attributes. They’re:
– Not internally excited to see others succeed, since, “that should have been them”
– Not fully appreciative to those who have helped them, since they believe they personally did most of it on their own (which is often not even close to being accurate)
– Not truly supportive of others, since they fear others will get ahead of them
Imagine… a relationship, personally or professionally, where you couldn’t thank your spouse, business partner, etc. enough for your success!
Imagine… people contacting you, out of the clear-blue, to provide a “hand-up” when you didn’t even ask!
Imagine… watching the 5-minute highlight film of your life, filled with success, while you consistently gave more than you took!
Imagine… genuinely leading a purpose-driven life, surrounded by simply amazing people, in every facet of your life!
Yes … you can!!
Psst… The world’s waiting for you … Superstar!
Who changes the world? I believe it’s almost exclusively the Top-7%. They are the only ones with the Talent Portfolios and social consciences needed to actually implement significant positive social impact.
If you believe you’re one of these executives, we’d love to explore possible opportunities.
