Whether you are meeting a friend, going to a gym lesson or have a scheduled call… Not being on time shows a lack of responsibility. Sooner or later, they will start disrespecting your time too. The world doesn’t revolve around you.
2. You don’t take responsibility
Your brain can play tricks on you. It can blind you from admitting when you are wrong. And others will then see you as being challenging or over controlling. You don't gain anything by blaming others. Accepting your wrongdoings is appreciated.
3. You talk too much
No one likes over talkers. You will think “That went great”, while they think “Glad it’s over”. When you talk too much, “smoke” gets into your eyes and ears. Be more attentive and hold your tongue. Speak only when there is a reason.
4. You complain
"The weather isn't good", "I don't like my job", "I am not happy". No one cares. Successful people don't like to hangout out with complainers. Everyone has bad days. But don't transmit this negativity to others. The more you complain, they less they respect you.
5. You are too nice
You shouldn't always be doing everything for others. How does trying to make everyone happy help you? Doing so might even make others see you as not being genuine. Saying “no” more often shows that you value your time. So start valuing your own time.
6. You don’t keep your word
You plan something or have a deadline. Yet, the day arrives and its “I won’t be able to see you today” or “I haven’t done it yet”. Your word loses worth. Breaking promises leads to “I’m sorry”. Those that have to apologise often don’t earn respect.
7. You put others down
Interrupting when others speak or not giving others a chance won't benefit you. Make others see you with "leadership eyes" by standing up for them. Give others freedom. Respect doesn't come from being the best, but from understanding humility. Stay humble.
What other mistakes stop people from gaining respect?
They think they are better than you. They tend to be bullies. They shout. Make fun of you. Or talk behind your back. You can disarm them by remaining calm and avoiding sarcasm. “Are you done? Can we move on now?”.
Hypocrite personality.
They judge and then do that same thing. They are unaware of their words & actions. Let them know that it annoys you. Stay calm. Choose positive words to confront them. Use “I” instead of “you”. Prepare for emotional reactions.
Nice often leads to a lot of "yes", wanting to be liked.
Respect yourself. Your own time. Do what is right.
“Save your money”
Money in your bank account doesn't multiply. Find ways to keep your money in motion. Learn about crypto, stocks, real estate. Have skin in the game. A $50 investment profit or $50 investment loss will teach big life lessons. Always be compounding.
Learn to sell. Sell products. Sell your skills. Life is relationships. Master sales. You will never be out of a job.
2. Join or start a team of winners.
Study people. Relationships will skyrocket you. Always be part of like-minded groups. Applaud different views. Welcome different skills. Build a team mission.
