Why others are treated better than most
1 VALUE DISPARITY
People who think all humans are equal are the worst when it comes to networking and social skills.
The only equality that exists is that we are all human. Beyond that, nothing is equal.
We have hierarchies based on value created and value possessed.
The same people who would cry ‘injustice’ when they are paid the same amount as those they consider to have put in less work than them will come online and think they are just as valuable as Elon Musk.It’s almost laughable to watch the cognitive dissonance.
I will not talk much about this because any human with a functioning brain should understand that hierarchies exist, and not just that, but also be able to figure out their place in the structure of these hierarchies.
Know your place, then work to elevate your status.
2 DON’T SAY YOU ARE VALUABLE, DEMONSTRATE IT
Respect is not given, it is earned. You earn respect through hard work, dedication, and providing value.
The amount of value you provide will be close to the amount of respect you will be owed.
A clerk is more expendable than a manager simply because the amount of damage a company will take by firing a clerk is insignificant compared to if the company were to fire the manager.
By this analysis, the manager is far more valuable to the company than the clerk.
It is for this reason that the company is willing to pay the manager a fat salary while refusing to increase the regular worker’s salary.
The worker cries that the manager does less work, but fails to understand that the manager delivers more value.
More value in the sense that he takes on more risk, and puts his neck on the line in the pursuit of results.
The regular worker does not risk jail time when a company fails, but the people in control do.
The two are NOT equal.
In this regard, for a regular worker to elevate his value, he must not just do what is required, but MORE.
Over-deliver. Make your absence mean something by providing immense value whenever you are around. There’s no way around this.
This is also how you get promoted.
3 USING MONEY
Use money to gain respect whenever you can.
Avoid haggling over peanuts because it brings down your value.
By all means, negotiate, but do not negotiate to the bone. If you can’t afford it, leave it.
Make more Money.
Pay the bills when you go out with your friends.
When rich people go out, they don’t split bills. Poor people do that.
You say ‘Well, they have the money.’
It’s not about the money my man. There is something you don't know.
Have you ever seen a bunch of friends scheming how to outwit each other and pick up the bill?
You go to pay and your friend already paid. It’s a fun game, you have to out-scheme them.
Again, if you can’t afford it, leave it.
So many people do things beyond their money and put themselves in precarious positions that bring disrespect. Be smarter than that.
-Tip the waiter/waitress.
-Never buy things grudgingly.
4 VALUE IN CONTEXT
Money is good and can win you respect in many places easily. But what about places where your money isn’t all that important?
A billionaire is valuable, but that does not necessarily mean he is valuable in EVERY scenario.
He is valuable in the sense that his money can do a lot, but not every problem gets solved by throwing money at it. This is also why you don’t throw money at people.

“The real problems are the ones you can’t solve by throwing money at them.” - Atlas
People who do giveaways and throw money at people fall into two categories:
- They don’t understand this and are shooting themselves in the foot.
- They do understand this and are exploiting the naivety of the masses.
Elon Musk is more valuable to Twitter than Bernard Arnault, not just because he is the CEO of Twitter, but because he gives his time, and lends his voice to the conversation.
He shows up every day and he works.
It doesn’t matter if the other guy has more money than him.
5 BE INTOLERANCE OF INSOLENCE
The final stage of earning respect is intolerance.
Why do stupid people get blocked on Twitter so rigorously? Insolence!
You’d see a guy who IRL would normally be scrubbing a billionaire’s bathroom insulting him unprovoked.
Do not tolerate insolence from people who are beneath you.
That dude who constantly demands your time when he’s offering nothing in return and gets upset when you don’t respond on time.
This is what insolence is.
But remember, ‘know your worth’ only applies when you have worth.
If you have no value, stay away from places where you are not respected and BUILD.
Build your value, show up, and demand what is due to you. Refuse to tolerate anything less.
6 GIVE GIVE GIVE !!!
As I’ve said earlier, you need to be generous.
Be helpful whenever you can. Don’t be a taker, be a giver.
There is a name for people who take and never give. I think they call it ‘leech.’
Once you’ve understood how all this works and act accordingly, you will hardly get disrespected.
The few people who will disrespect you will be the insolent fools. Get rid of them.

👍10❤2👏1
1. Excessive Care and Lack of Boundaries:
Nice guys often fall into the trap of caring too much and allowing their partners to get away with negative behavior. By failing to establish rules and boundaries, they unintentionally compromise their own self-respect. Consequently, this can lead to a loss of admiration and respect from their partners, as they seek a man who can confidently lead and set healthy boundaries.
2. The Desire for a Man's World:
In relationships, women often yearn for a partner who can create and maintain a strong masculine presence. They desire a man who can confidently navigate and shape the world around them, rather than conforming to their partner's world. This dynamic arises from a natural power struggle inherent in romantic relationships.

3. Embracing the Power of Self-Sufficiency:
One of the most attractive qualities a man can possess is a sense of self-sufficiency and independence. By embodying an "I don't give a f***" (IDGAF) attitude, a man becomes fundamentally attractive to women. This doesn't mean being disrespectful or callous, but rather displaying a confidence and self-assuredness that comes from not being overly dependent on a woman's validation or approval.
4. The Allure of the IDGAF Power:
The bad boy, the jerk, the womanizer –– these archetypes often hold an intoxicating allure for women. This is because they consistently exhibit the IDGAF power that is so attractive. Their nonchalant attitude and apparent indifference towards women's approval creates a sense of mystery and challenge that can be captivating.

Conclusion:
Understanding why some nice guys fail in dating and relationships requires acknowledging the importance of setting boundaries, embracing self-sufficiency, and cultivating a confident IDGAF attitude without compromising respect and kindness. It is crucial for men to strike a balance between being caring and assertive, while maintaining their self-respect and demonstrating independence. By navigating the power struggle component and embracing their own power, men can increase their chances of building fulfilling and mutually respectful relationships with women.

1. A good boss is intellectually honest.
Good bosses are honest leaders. They don’t try to sugarcoat the reality of the situations they face, internally or externally. They confront challenges and barriers openly and are straightforward with the people around them.
This approach isn’t easy, and many leaders have failed to act with intellectual honesty. For example, Kodak didn’t recognize the reality of a changing business environment, including technology’s impact and shifting consumer demands.
Intellectually honest leaders also are transparent with their teams. They don’t cover up impending issues that could affect employees, such as new competitors, sliding sales and impending layoffs. They set clear expectations and don’t let poor performance go unnoticed or unaddressed.

2. A good boss is self-aware.
When leaders make decisions, they must understand their implicit biases and preferences. Self-awareness is the ability to see your own motives, behaviors and actions clearly. Self-aware leaders are less likely to be impaired by clouded judgment. They can be more objective and make the best decisions for the entire organization.
Self-aware bosses understand their strengths and weaknesses. They recognize how their actions, words and behaviors affect others positively and negatively, and they move forward carefully and thoughtfully.

3. A good boss is open-minded.
The “my way or the highway” approach to leadership damages employees and organizations. Good bosses prioritize diversity and inclusion and know that their success – and that of the organization – depends on input from diverse employees with varied experiences, insights and perspectives.
Open-minded bosses surround themselves with team members who have their own creative thoughts and ideas. They have no problem apologizing at work and listening to employees when making decisions.

4. A good boss is an effective delegator.

Delegation requires assigning tasks to the right team members, coaching and supporting them, and holding them accountable for their results.

5. A good boss is adept at talent development.
Effective bosses encourage employee professional development to prepare their team for senior roles. They’re not afraid to hire people who may be seen as smarter than they are. In fact, they want to surround themselves with the brightest and most creative talent possible.
Good bosses recognize their employees’ strengths and find ways to develop their talents through stretch assignments and additional responsibilities. They provide frequent positive feedback and effective constructive criticism.

No matter who you are or what your job is, you can only do so much. We can accomplish more when we don’t assume we’re the only capable ones. Great bosses realize they need others to help with a wide range of tasks and responsibilities.
Great bosses have no problem letting go of assignments others can do better, faster or more effectively. They show enormous respect for their team’s talents, thus fostering dedicated, engaged and loyal employees.

1. How can I start my own business with no money?
You can launch a successful business without any startup funds. Work on a business idea that builds on your skill set to offer something new and innovative to the market. While developing a new business, keep working in your current position (or “day job”) to reduce the financial risk.
Once you’ve developed your business idea and are ready to start on a business plan, you’ll need to get creative with funding. You can raise money through investments by pitching your idea to financial backers. You could also gather funding through crowdsourcing platforms like Kickstarter, or set aside a certain amount of money from your weekly earnings to put toward a new business. Finally, you can seek loan options from banks and other financial institutions to get your company up and running.

2. What is the easiest business to start?
The easiest business to start is one that requires little to no financial investment upfront, nor should it require extensive training to learn the business. A drop shipping company is one of the easiest types of new business to launch. Dropshipping requires no inventory management, saving you the hassle of buying, storing and tracking stock. Instead, another company will fulfill your customer orders at your behest. This company will manage the inventory, package goods, and ship out your business orders. To start, you can create an online store by selecting curated products from the catalog available through partners.

3. When is the best time to start a business?
Each person’s ideal timeline for starting a new business will be different. First and foremost, you should start a business when you have enough time to devote your attention to the launch. If you have a seasonal product or service, then you want to start your business a quarter before your predicted busy time of the year. Spring and fall are popular times of year to launch for nonseasonal companies. Winter is the least popular launch season because many new owners prefer to have their LLC or corporation approved for a new fiscal year.
