Summary

re·spect

/rəˈspek(t)/

noun
A feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements.

Many individuals yearn for validation of their hard-earned triumphs and empathy for their struggles. Yet, this desire for external approval can inadvertently lead to its own set of challenges. After all, who wants to constantly seek respect and validation from others and who wants to give respect to people who demand it?

In this episode of Real Business Owners, Trevor talks about self-respect and how a person can develop it. Trevor discusses what causes individuals to seek out validations from others and how people can begin to naturally develop a healthy amount of self respect for themselves.
