Are Toxic People Killing Your Brand? A 2020 Strategy

Reading Time: 2 minutes

toxic people to avoid

Evidence you’ve encountered one or more toxic people:

  • “I feel like I’ve been run over by a truck.”
  • “I’ve lost my passion.”
  • “This industry sucks.”

toxic people are inconceivable

Toxic People Destroy Dreams

We’ve each felt that, and wondered what the hell happened?

Even Gary Vaynerchuk has talked about “toxic people” yet too many of us let people like impact our lives and careers. 

What changed?

We were going 100 miles per hour, cooking with gas and then everything suddenly ended like hitting a wall. Things dried up. Or all of a sudden, people are at each other’s throats.

The hidden answer: someone toxic poisoned the water.

I go into it in today’s One Minute Wednesday:

More On Toxic People (Only Sounds Like “Moron Toxic People”)

Could’ve been a client or customer.

Or an employee.

Or some “expert” rained on everyone’s parade with some variable like “Everybody knows that’s no longer relevant” (when in fact it was THAT loser who became less relevant and decided to poison your energy, passion, and drive, for one reason: they lost and figured you should too.)

DO NOT LET POISON PEOPLE POISON YOUR LIFE, YOUR BRAND, YOUR CAREER.

2020 needs GREATNESS.

I need you to be great.

The world needs your greatness.

Time to unleash it.
