Once I've handled my survival, the amount of money that I make, it instantly goes to the problems that come with other people's survival, whether that's a family member, a group of friends, and how far out that expands.

I don't think that changed 200 years ago or 2000 years ago.

It's the ability to accumulate things to better prepare yourself in a harvest, better prepare yourself in a time of a drought to actually sustain and make it through to really survive.

And the more contacts that you have, the more you are setting yourself up to survive, the more people who know you,

even though it's a little bit of a status symbol, it's actually a survival mechanism for you because millions of people across the globe, at any point in time that you have a problem, you have built enough trust and credibility with them for them to be interested in helping you.

So it's actually a survival point.

Now, of course, you can run the spectrum of the survival and say, well, is the additional millionth follower, the additional 2 million followers actually leading to more survival?

I would argue that potentially, but what else could you be able to impact if you were thinking about the survival of you, of your family, of the people that depend on you, your team that's here?

You are creating abundance so that other people can survive through what you have created and you pursuing your own survival and then having the second order be the group around you, family,

the employees, the other groups that you are a part of that you contribute to in whatever ways you do.

And then those concepts go further out to what can you actually be responsible for for its survival.

Fascinating.

The first thing somebody has to do in order to earn respect is to decide that they would rather be respected than liked.

That trade-off is made too often.

We're in a situation when the right respectable thing to do is unlikable.

We don't choose the right respectable thing to do.

We prioritize being liked.

And so when you make that decision to be respected and to...

not prioritize what everybody thinks about you, you can then transition into the second step, which is you have to get stats in the area that you want respect in.

If you're low in an organization or you have different people around you who don't respect you for a variety of different reasons, what is the area of your expertise that is undeniable?
