BRX Pro Tip: Are You a Jerk?
Stone Payton: [00:00:00] Welcome back to Business RadioX Pro Tips. Stone Payton and Lee Kantor here with you. Lee, here’s a fun question, or you know what? Maybe it’s not so fun. But it’s one of those self-awareness exercises that perhaps we should all engage in. The question is, Are you a jerk?
Lee Kantor: [00:00:16] Yeah. Here’s the test. If you met a jerk today, you should ignore them because, you know, that’s just part of life. But if you find yourself meeting a jerk every single day, then guess what? You might be the jerk. It might be you that’s the problem.
Lee Kantor: [00:00:35] So, in life, I find that people don’t realize that it isn’t as hard as they make it seem. And sometimes you do meet somebody who’s a jerk. But if it’s happening every day or it’s happening lots and lots, and every day you’re telling somebody about some jerky thing that has happened, then it could be you. It could be the way that you’re approaching things.
Lee Kantor: [00:00:58] So, if things are frustrating you every single day, this might be a you problem, not a somebody else problem. So, start looking at yourself a little more introspectively to see where you might be sabotaging yourself. There aren’t jerks out there every day trying to mess with you and ruin your day. I promise you, most people are going about their business doing the best they can. So, if you’re meeting people every single day that are frustrating you, that are making you angry, the problem might be you.
