Summary
As you further commit to leveling up in life it will become more and more apparent which of your friends are holding you back. Cutting off those relationships is often difficult or awkward but ultimately an essential part of the process. You can’t force anyone to progress with you, and you’re doing both yourself and that individual a disservice by trying to make it work.
In this episode, we illustrate why dropping the deadbeats is so important and discuss techniques to tactfully cut people out.
Really, we believe this is a perfect time in history to re-evaluate your friendships. With all the negativity being shared, people are showing their true colors. Between this episode and last week’s, you have the tools to evaluate who in your life is a positive influence and who needs to go. We hope this podcast will inspire you to make the necessary changes.
