Welcome to Darren Daily on demand, your most trusted resource to help you become better every day.

Here's your success mentor Darren Hardy.

Isn't it strange that we give more time in consideration to picking shoes or purses

than picking our friends and vital associations, the people who will have a profound influence on shaping your character,

your habits, and your future. When was the last time you screamed your associations,

not just for their status and credentials, but for their character, their values, and their aspirations.

A question I was asked recently was,

what do I look for in building my Board of Advisors, those people who are in my inner circle association, those

that I call my dirty dozen.

And what is a dangerous trait to avoid?

So, okay, I'll answer the last part first.

One dangerous trait to avoid is people who are arrogant.

You see, arrogance often masquerades as confidence, but it is just a facade hiding insecurity

and narrow-mindedness.

Aragants lacks humility.

And without humility, there's no growth or learning.

And arrogant people are just plain annoying to be around. Now don't get me wrong all the guys on my

dirty dozen group have high ego strength and are the alphas of their tribes but

none of them are arrogant in the least.

What they have is true confidence, which is the opposite, in fact, of arrogance.

They are 100% comfortable being open, being vulnerable, and loving.

They are all, in fact, very, very loving people.
