As selfish as I am, and believe me, I only think about me first, I’ve always been fairly group oriented. I enjoy working with a team, and yeah, I usually end up leading it and becoming a tad dictatorial, but I DO want everyone to win.
That said, the older I’ve gotten the more I’ve come to see we all have a different place in this world.
You can’t make plans for anyone other than yourself, and you shouldn’t. It isn’t right.
If you have a goal, unless it’s genuinely shared by others- don’t involve them. Have a passion project? Maybe a business you’re launching? Unless your friends are genuinely excited about the goal itself and would do it regardless, sharing it will hurt you both.
I wanted group success.
I wanted everyone around me to want what I want.
I wanted a team to dominate with, friends and family to be a family.
But this isn’t realistic.
You won’t make it “wanting.”
You’ll never get to where you need to go waiting on others. Whatever it is you want, figure out every part of it yourself. Don’t involve friends just because they’re friends.
That’s bad business.
Go it alone. The call is only for those who hear it.
