0:03
deposit there's one question you must
0:05
ask about every person in your life no
0:07
matter how long you've known him does he
0:10
or she ever make deposits in my life or
0:14
withdrawals if the answer is withdrawals
0:17
then that's someone you need to distance
0:19
yourself from immediately remember no
0:21
one only makes one withdrawal would you
0:24
only go to a ATM that kept spitting out
0:26
free money just once hell no you would
0:29
go every single day until the bank
0:31
figured it out well people are the same
0:34
way until you shut them down they will
0:36
keep taken and taken until there's
0:39
left I'm getting rid of all the people
0:42
who only make withdrawals I've already
0:45
lost people whove meant the world to me
0:47
namely my mother and grandmother and I'm
0:49
still doing just fine there is zero
0:52
reason I can't cut all the other people
0:54
that are trying to drain me instead of
0:56
fill me up this is why I don't
0:59
particularly care if my father ever
1:01
makes himself known to me at this point
1:03
he would only be coming to make
1:05
withdrawals from my life there's nothing
1:08
deposit I already have enough people
1:10
like that in my life every day they look
1:13
to make withdrawals from the bank of 50
1:15
Cent I've already discussed the people
1:17
who are straight up looking for monetary
1:19
handout but just as frequently is people
1:22
seeking my Association on its own hey we
1:25
got this phenomenal idea that could be a
1:27
hit and make us some money they say
1:29
before getting to the catch we just need
1:31
you to make it work I'm not looking to
1:34
partner with people like that anymore I
1:37
want to be associated with Concepts or
1:38
ideas that can work with or without me I
1:41
want to be around talented folks who can
1:43
help lift me higher not people who want
1:47
success the first time I ever met Mark
1:49
wber was at dinner with a group of
1:51
people I just met I ate my food hung out
1:55
a bit and then went to the restroom on
1:57
the way back I decided I've been there
1:59
longer than needed to be so I paid the
2:01
check when I got back to the table I
2:04
told the group yo I'm running out see
2:06
you guys later great meeting everyone
2:09
and don't worry about the bill I took
2:10
care of it I didn't do that to be a big
2:12
shot it's just a role I've gotten
2:14
comfortable in Mark couldn't believe it
2:18
what you did what he said almost jumping
2:20
out of his seat wait a minute
2:22
wait a minute I finally found a guy who
2:24
can find his pockets and he's
2:26
leaving bro we got to get together we
2:28
got to hang out he was excited because
2:30
he was always the guy people expected to
2:32
pay the tab now someone was finally
2:35
willing to make a deposit that caught
2:38
attention We've Ended up becoming good
2:40
friends after that night and Mark's made
2:42
plenty of deposits into my life he's
2:45
someone who already did the rapper turn
2:47
TV executive thing with Entourage and
2:49
boy walk empire and he's given me a lot
2:51
of valuable advice and
2:53
insight I would never have made that
2:55
connection with him if I hadn't reached
2:56
for my wallet that night I know everyone
2:59
reading this isn't in a position to pay
3:01
for a fancy meal in an LA restaurant but
3:03
you are in position to make deposits
3:06
people professionally you can always
3:08
contribute to morale no matter what
3:10
position you're in if you're part of a
3:12
team it doesn't cost a scent to be the
3:14
one with the positive attitute that
3:16
doesn't mean you have to kiss your
3:17
boss's ass or be fake you just have to
3:20
stay upbeat about things be the person
3:22
who doesn't bit your moan when you get a
3:24
tough job or assignment be the person
3:26
who is smiling and open to interacting
3:28
with co-workers instead of putting on
3:30
headphones and hiding behind a computer
3:31
screen be diplomatic and try to identify
3:34
a resolution when your co-workers aren't
3:37
along the easiest deposit you can make
3:39
it work but one will pay off in the long
3:41
run is just to show up on time you have
3:44
no idea how aggravating it is for a boss
3:46
when employees just roll in whatever it
3:48
might be tempting to think well if it
3:50
was my company I'd get there early but
3:53
why would I rush over there to make
3:54
these guys money if that's your attitude
3:56
you're never going to get your own
3:58
company this is definitely an issue I
4:00
struggle with concerning my own
4:02
employees as I said earlier one of my
4:04
weak points is that I like to be
4:05
comfortable in the workplace I like to
4:07
be around people I know and trust
4:10
unfortunately the comfort that I'm
4:11
looking for can make the entire
4:13
environment too relaxed after some time
4:16
people start to forget that they have
4:17
real responsibilities I'm paying them
4:20
for that's when they start making their
4:22
own schedules they might think I don't
