Blink and you miss it – that awesome everyday humour.
It was just yesterday I was with my wonderful family visiting a nearby country fete that was on the edges of Sydney metro. There were sheep, fluffy bunnies, cute stuff, artwork and it was all pretty much what you’d expect for a great family focused event.
There were a few rides and ‘Try Your Luck’ stalls and the one that got a massive laugh was this one that in its message said “No Losers”.
They obviously meant the opposite being “Everyone’s a Winner”, but when I started laughing (and also posted on Social Media) it created the direct and opposite response. That is in almost a fraternity house type of sense “No Losers Allowed”.
Besides being part of that everyday humour that we can easily miss, it got me thinking on a deeper level about some of the key points that we stand for in business. If you have gone through or seen some of my previous articles, I have taken lots of damage due to basically having “Losers” in my life.
I don’t mean that they have no money or anything like that to be clear. They can have lots of money, but in effect have negative consequences on ones live. This can be as measurable as someone using your company and services and not paying. It can be as powerful yet more subtle as that person that cuts you down and stops you taking the next step.
Here’s the point; make sure you run a “No Losers” allowed policy in your own life. This means two different things in that firstly you can’t be a loser. Provided you are not a loser, this then allows you to go to phase two in that “No Losers” allowed.
We can define “Losers” however we want and I like that Toxic Vs Nurturing description. If someone is toxic, no deal – I want nothing to do them.
My advice and thinking? No Losers man! Don’t be one and stay away from them.
That allows you to live your life and win big.
Love your work, thank you for the read and stay awesome!
