Now the question that was emailed from a Thrive was, how do you deal with complacency?

How do you deal with that feeling? Well, first off, let's look up the definition of complacency.

I think it's important that we know what words mean. And complacency is a feeling of smug or critical or uncritical satisfaction with oneself and their achievements.

So complacency means that you think you're awesome, and you have decided that you're going to stay awesome as a result of just being awesome.

So I'm going to give you the three ways that I know to avoid the complacency mindset.

One, turn your bitterness, turn your bitterness. I talked to my staff about that today.

Turn your bitterness into bitterness. We'll talk about that in a minute. Turn your bitterness into bitterness.

Two, understand that you are setting the example that you are setting the example for somebody else.

Understand that the third, know that God is watching. God is watching. And the devil is trying to kill you.

So this is how I do it. All right. So I'm going to break this down for you. Turn your bitterness into bitterness.

I used to stutter as a kid a lot. Stuttered means I couldn't talk very well. Got made fun of a lot because of it.

To this day, I am pissed at the people that did it. I forgive them for their benefit. I've asked God to forgive them.

But if they know the buckets of tears that I cried and how that affected my entire world view even to this day,

if they've realized that it's created a level of distrust that makes me such a phenomenal manager, it's crazy.
