THE BACK STORY Finding the right people for your tribe is key to success. You know the feeling - when you’re stuck dealing with those frustrating moments - surrounded by folks who just don’t get it.

WHY IT MATTERS

Connect with people who truly understand and appreciate you. It’s about surrounding yourself with a team that shares your values and goals.

  • When you find the right people - work and life become more productive and fun.

It’s all about having a group that ‘gets’ you - and supports you.


UNRELIABLE PEOPLE WASTING YOUR TIME

Dealing with unreliable people can waste a lot of your time.

  • You agree on a meeting - and they don’t show up - or even bother to let you know.
  • When they finally reach out - it’s just a brief ‘sorry’ - with no corrective action.

It’s clear they don’t respect your time - or understand how important it is to be reliable.


SOLUTION: Set clear boundaries.

  • Clearly state your expectations.
  • Move on if they’re not met.

THE IMPACT OF BAD MANNERS

Bad manners sometimes appear when people can't handle different opinions.

  • Instead of having a friendly conversation - they argue or resort to bashing.
  • This kind of behavior brings bad vibes - and turns a nice day into a frustrating one.

They block insights and are not open to new perspectives. It's just annoying and unhelpful.


SOLUTION: Promote respect.

  • Talk directly about bad behavior.
  • Choose people who respect different opinions.

WASTING TIME ON FAKE ADVICE-SEEKERS

It’s annoying to deal with people who ask for advice - but just want you to agree with them.

  • They’re not really interested in your thoughts. They just want validation.
  • Instead of wasting your time, focus on relationships where your advice is genuinely valued - and where there’s a real exchange of ideas.

Look for those who:

  • Pay attention
  • Take your input seriously
  • Appreciate the advice you give

SOLUTION: Focus on genuine seekers.

  • Share your advice with people who sincerely listen - and appreciate it.

HOW TO FIND YOUR IDEAL TRIBE

How do you find your ideal tribe? Look for people who align with your values and goals. Look for those who treasure and respect you.

  • Invest your time in relationships where you feel valued and understood.

Find allies who share your vibe and enthusiasm - and are excited to contribute in a meaningful way.


THE PERKS OF A WELL-MATCHED TRIBE

Having a harmonious tribe around you can make a big difference. When you’re surrounded by people who support and understand you - both your work and personal life become better and more satisfying.


A harmonious tribe:

  • Values your time
  • Appreciates your efforts
  • Helps you grow

It’s about being with people who add positive vibes to your life by being in sync with you.


TIPS AND TECHNIQUES

Finding your tribe can change everything. Being with people who truly ‘get’ you brings more joy into your life.

  • Look for people who share your values and excitement. Choose a group that supports you and helps you grow.

Remember: Finding your tribe makes every day more fulfilling - for you and them.
