Everyone's a critic. Only 1% build anything worth critiquing. Credit to my buddy Rohan Sheth for this one. People love to show up and give their unsolicited "insight"... Then vanish when it's time to do actual work. Meanwhile, the people who are actually building get: 🚫 Mocked from the start 🚫 Judged for their process 🚫 Ignored when they're struggling And then suddenly celebrated when they find success. If that sounds familiar, take a look around. If your circle is full of critics and spectators... You're in the wrong room. You need people who contribute. Who uplift you and encourage you. Who challenge you when it matters. Who actually give a sh*t whether you win or not. Start here: 1. Stop judging people who are trying ↳ If they're putting effort in, they're ahead of everyone waiting for perfect. 2. Encourage more than you think you need to ↳ A one-line message can make a huge difference. 3. Give without expectations ↳ If you've got experience, share it. Don't hold it hostage. 4. Don't just show up at the finish line ↳ Show up when it's messy. That's when it counts most. 5. Protect your energy ↳ If your environment's draining you, you're bleeding potential. And if you can't find people like that? Be the one who sets the standard. Operate at a higher level, and watch who starts showing up. Your network should elevate your output. If it's not, build a better one. ♻️ Share this to help others build a stronger network. And follow me, Brad Weimert, for more.
