You're much more likely to get noticed if you're polarizing.

Yeah, I learned that from Dan Henry.

I was a client of his, and he talks a lot about it in his book as well.

And I feel this is a huge reason why Trump is president, too, is because he's willing to say things that kind of go against the grain and piss a lot of people off.

But look how much media attention he gets because of that.

Yeah, and it's like you ultimately just have to come to terms with like some people are going to hate you.

Like 50% of your market might hate you for being polarizing.

Yeah.

But, I mean, you got to just be okay with that.

You can't please everyone.

Yeah, and it's like, I never was really bothered by it.

I mean, maybe at a certain scale, I'm like, all right, there's a lot of hate comments in one day, holy shit.

But it's like, but when you think about like all the clients who you're helping and all the lives you're changing and the results they're getting, I mean, you tend to just be numb to it and ignore it because it's like, yeah, some random guy who works at McDonald's and has a pickup truck as his profile picture,

Yeah.

I mean, if you're getting clients results and people are happy with the service, I mean, then fine by me if the price of that is a few haters.

Yeah.

I mean, I've worked with a lot of mentors, a lot of coaches, read a lot of books.

Early on in my development, I would probably say Dan Henry was my most impactful mentor, author who I've read.

Freaking Dubai.

Yeah, he'll be staying safe right now.
