There are generally two clusters of personality types in business.
Guess which character mode opens up more opportunities?
Mode 1:
Calculating what can be extracted from the other person
Calculated reciprocity
Not really showing up
Not listening
Not seeing the other person / making an effort to
When something is over in their mind, they’ve quit long before they quit
Sizing the other person up and quickly sizing down if lacks relevance / “value”
Mode 2:
Giving without expectation, and seeking ways to be genuinely helpful without agenda
Bringing the best self each day and doing the work beforehand to ensure the good vibes stay high
Leaving an opportunity with a “bang” – a positive outro others will remember
Seeing the value in others – as a result of carefully listening and attention to what’s also not being said
Asking questions to seek understanding, without assumption of knowing it all
Certain individuals come to mind as you read both lists?
It’s not hard to see how Mode 2 (aka “abundance mentality”) will open up more doors in the most “lucky” ways and from the most “unexpected” people. It’s also an invitation for Mode 1 characters to meet you in Mode 2.
