The Pledge

0:00  
One of the things I absolutely cannot stand in life are people who are unadulterated brown nosers. There are those who are, well, they brown nose in public, they brown those in private, they brown nose contingency to the point they don't know that they're brown nosing. And they sprout up everywhere. Once you get an organization, brown nosers are just literally everywhere. And a lot of them think they have wisdom, because they rose through the ranks to get to a position, but they don't. They don't have anything really to contribute. Managing people, managing personalities, is one thing, but don't equate brown nosing to the ability to engage and have a conversation. So if you are earnestly searching for an organization to be around. Look for people who are having fun, because when people are having fun, they produce good work. And I can tell you, recently, I got rid of a group of people who do not know how to have fun. They gossip, they commiserate in misery. They're boring. I like to have fun. Obviously, I like to have fun because when you're having fun, you're producing really good work. So indulge me for a moment. We're going to talk a little bit about having fun, what that really means.

The information presented is provided for informational purposes only. Truesdell wealth Incorporated, is the sole corporate sponsor of this podcast now, then, with that out of the way, let's continue.

So no matter what you do in life, you can call yourself retired, but you are working. You're just working at a different set of goals and objectives, tasks, things that you decided on your own versus what others decided for you. But you're still doing things. Ultimately, the important thing in life is to do what you like are good, profitable and can control. It's not just about building a net worth or building a portfolio or going to the next latest or greatest cruise, or having drinks endlessly with people who are pretty much meaningless with you. Know to you, but it's about staying sharp. It's about thinking it's about having fun. It's about being a lifestyle business. I say this all the time. Every one of us is a lifestyle business, where business is a lifestyle, whether you like that phrase or not. That is the truth. We are all in business. So you have to define yourself. You can define yourself by who you work for, the business you built. You could be like Al Bundy and define yourself based upon your football glory of 50 or 60 years ago, and everything is also a little bit about advertising. How you present yourself, is advertising, how you speak, who you associate with, is all about advertising. My brand is such that I do not, under any circumstance, want somebody to be around me who would hurt my brand. You should feel the same way. You want to be around people you admire and you want to have some gentle manners. Other times, you've got to be like a bull in a china shop to get somebody's attention. But just treat people like human beings. You've heard me say this a lot lately. Don't yell at people. Tell them to sit down, to be quiet. You're disappointing me. You don't need people like that in your life. Just don't, you know, there's a word I use called toadies, T, O, A, D, I, E, S. Toadies, these are people who continually suck up to their bosses. And you can see this in any organization. They just got their nose so far up the behind of the boss, everything is brown. Here's the thing, toadies are also some of the same people who then bully their subordinates. They'll raise their voice. They'll yell at women, in particular, because if they yell at a man like me or anybody of my stature, they'd be afraid they get punched in those and taken out. Toadies brown nosers, bullies, people who are so full of themselves you do not want to be around them. Be around people you admire, people who have manners, who know how to dress, who know how to say things like Yes, sir, no, sir, yes. Ma'am, no, ma'am. They were raised properly, those little nuggets in life that you. On to and go, yeah, and remember, people are more productive when they're happy. And it doesn't hurt to have a drink in order to relax, begin to think about things. Let's just kind of all develop. So remember all those people who are quarrelsome in your life, people who like to wage warfare. Boot, that's right, boot, the toad. Give a boot to the toad, and don't ever look back, because the toad will be off croaking against somebody else's life miserable. They never need to make your life miserable unless you let them. Corporate culture very important to understand what the culture is of an organization, a corporation, any grouping of people in most corporations, most cultures, fight change all day long, unless they're built on change. And once you have a hit, an advertising hit, a product hit, a lot of people then sit back and rest on their laurels. Look what happened to General Motors in the 60s and 70s. I mean it. They were terrible, but they got their act together. Then there's General Electric, who's done nothing to go down, down, down, down, down. Kodak Montgomery, wards, Sears, Kmart. WT grant you got all these companies that were really great at one time, and they lost it. Polaroid lost it. Weighing computers, lost it. IBM used to make computers. They used to make laptops. They used to make desktops. Lost it. Gateway lost it. So you got to understand the corporate culture, understand that some cultures are so rotten you don't want to be around them. They grow to a certain size, and they stay there. They can't grow beyond 5060, maybe 100 people, and they're stuck there because that's their comfort zone. You have to ask yourself a question, is that where I want to be? Some people like small, intimate, corporate settings. Others like the dynamics of a place that's got it going. But remember, you still have those brown nosers. You still got those toadies around. Now let me give you a little thing that is a pretty good little phrase, and that is that the people who built the companies for which in the past and today, America is famous for they all work obsessively to create a strong culture within their organizations. So when I say things like, Why pay more is because you have more, that is a culture. Comment on what we do. When I say fixed cost investing. It says what we do, but is a cultural item. When I talk about team as an acronym to maximize and minimize appropriately, time, effort, aggravation and money, these are cultural things that I've created for those who work with me and those that we work with, it's about establishing a strong culture. To me, that's everything you see if you want to have an edge in life and in business, I don't care what it is in life or in business, which should be one in the same. If you're a lifestyle business, where business is a lifestyle that's one in the same. You cultivate individual identities, but also a group identity. You shape your values and the corporate values all in being one in the same. And when you make people or groups of people, heroes, they need to deserve it. They need to deserve it. Heroes are not people who rise the highest rank because they spent the most time on the job. Military is a lot like that. You get master, super duper sergeant, 1520, 7b and he or she thinks they are the greatest thing since white sliced bread, but in reality, they just brown nosed, sucked up, didn't rock the boat, have no creative ideas at all. They just do what they're told to do, and they did it long enough where they well time to get the ultimate promotion. Heroes are people that go out and do things that they make movies about. Heroes are people who build businesses, who run departments in organizations where you connect the dots, you put the pieces together, and it works. Heroes of people understand the importance of having rights and rituals, but they don't let the rights and rituals become a detriment to needed change. And when you put it all together, and you understand it, and you can articulate it, you wind up having a cultural network that has a real edge and every day everywhere from border to border and coast to coast, people fight, complain and carry on, because some want too much change too fast. Others want no change at all, and that's why you have CE. CEOs and independent boards of directors, you have shareholders who have certain rights. And when you have a company, all that corporate law, rule and regulations that have been created is because people have to have a way of getting along and not always going to court. And eventually, somebody has to put the foot down and kick and stomp on the Toady.
