…..if they don’t like you.

 

They wont listen to you, if they don’t like you. In start up land, we need to people to listen to us. Listen to our ideas. Listen to our vision.

 

Consider the following example: In a job or at school our manager or teacher didn’t like us, and we got poor results. Then the next  year we have a new manger or new teacher and miraculously the world turned in our favour. We got results. We didn’t change. We had the same skills, we had the same attitude and we had the same abilities. The people around us changed. We had someone who liked us.

 

Sure, it’s impossible for everyone to like you – but there are some things we can do to increase the probability of being liked….

 

…and the most important is ‘move on’ when we’re under tutelage of jerks.
