Waiting for somebody to change can be frustrating.
As a leader, friend or parent, you’ve probably shared greats ideas.
Encouraged them.
Coached.
Yet they’re still not changing, or if they are it’s far too slowly.
In our mind we wonder ‘why can’t they just do it!’
When it comes to seeing change in others, we are often incredibly impatient.
But when it comes to us, and our long road of changing life long habits.
That’s different.
We want people to be patient with us.

They were concerned that I might steal their idea. After playing that dance I got pretty candid with them and told them I had enough business ideas of my own that I will never do, so I don’t really need their ideas.
