If you want to win, SUPPORT others.
“One thing you’ll find out is that while winners are competitive, they want to see others win. They bring people with them.
It’s the lifelong losers who are cheer for others to lose so they can on the gossip with their loser friends.
You want to win?
SUPPORT others.”

“Hey man, I just put out a paid advertisement for my business, do you think you could like & share it for me? Thank you!”
I had to tell him no, but only because I’d already done it. I didn’t need his probing to do the right thing. Hell, I want him to win as bad as he wants to win.
It’s funny when it comes to supporting others.
Most people can’t do it.
Well, I mean they can, but they choose not to.
And the reason most choose not to support even (especially) their “friends” is because, well, if you support your friends who are busting their asses to make something happen and you’re not, well that’s offensive to your ego.
First thing I do every day, is I thank the Lord for the day and then I publish a blogpost. And after I publish the blogpost (that I share to multiple outlets, including Instagram) I scroll for a few minutes.
And what do I do?
I dish out “likes” to posts. At least 25-30 of them. And I continue this throughout the day. Along with comments and shares.
Do “likes, comments, and shares” mean anything?
Not on the surface, but what if my buddy who owns the mechanic shop puts up a post and my “like” helps his algorithm?
What if my “share” causes somebody who may have not seen his page before to see it and then they go into the shop to get an oil change?
My “like” that took less than one single second, may make his bills a little less stressful next month.
But most people don’t think about it like that.
Hell, they’ll consume, critique, and judge every piece of content you put out (while they produce no quality content themselves and typically only engage with your content when you strike a nerve with something they disagree with, lol) but show outward support? Nah, just can’t do it.
Loser City.
Winning is contagious.
If you want to win, SUPPORT others.
If your friend owns the shop, take it there.
If he’s giving haircuts, that’s where you go.
If she’s baking cakes, you’re buying them.
Even if you don’t “buy” there are endless free ways to support.
Remember, what goes around comes around.
