Kill the Energy Vampires!

A friend of mine recommended a great read:

Some books focus on “break-through research,” while others focus on common sense principles. This one is that later.

One particular rule (out of 10) that resonated? Rule #6:

“Post a Sign that says: No Energy Vampires Allowed!”

Business (and in some cases life) is difficult enough. Attitude is life’s most significant choices, not traits. Positive attitudes fuel energy, negative attitudes deplete it.

Negative Attitude = Negative Energy.

• There are people in your life, your business, your community that simply DRIVE you to step it up. And there are people that are flat out toxic to your present or future.

• Knowing the Energy Fillers tends to be easy. However, sometimes we refuse to acknowledge that others can be depleting our energy, or at worst, TOXIC.

Achieving great things in business and in life is not easy, or everyone would do it.

Having the discipline and courage to Kill your energy Vampires is like taking off 15lb ankle weights prior to running a marathon. If you do, you will finish faster. Check that, you WILL finish.

Would it not be devastating to train for a marathon and not finish, simply because you chose to wear ankle weights?
