7 traits that make everyone want you on their team:
(That few people have) 👇
You get hired for your skills.
But you keep your job for being easy to work with.
Because no one wants to lose the teammate that makes work easier.
1. Take full responsibility
↳ Embrace problems, not excuses
↳ Solve issues without blaming
↳ Step up when things get tough
Nothing builds respect faster than accountability.
2. Handle mistakes well
↳ Admit errors quickly
↳ Fix without defending
↳ Learn from failure openly
Trust grows from owning your mistakes.
3. Listen like you mean it
↳ Put down your phone
↳ Take notes in meetings
↳ Ask thoughtful questions
Most listen to reply.
Few listen to understand.
4. Read the room well
↳ Notice when others are stressed
↳ Adjust your approach accordingly
↳ Know when to speak or listen
The best teammates know when to step up and when to step back.
5. Stay consistently positive
↳ Show up with the same energy
↳ Keep your promises
↳ Treat everyone equally
Consistency beats brilliance in building trust.
6. Show real interest
↳ Ask about others' projects
↳ Remember their milestones
↳ Celebrate team wins
Interest isn't just polite. It's powerful.
7. Give appreciation freely
↳ Thank people specifically
↳ Share positive feedback quickly
↳ Recognize effort, not just results
Recognition is the fuel of great teams.
Success isn't about what you do.
It's about how you make it easier for others.
Beat the Rush - Our Substack Will Soon Be “Paid Only”
It was the best of times... It was the worst of times...
Best of Times: We just went over 10,000+ total subscribers across all four of our Substacks: Important News from the Art of Liberty Foundation (5954 subs on Substack, 123 paid, 7200+ on house e-mail, occasional), Five Meme Friday (1539 subs on Substack, 7 paid, 5500+ on house e-mail, weekly), The Daily News from AoLF (2442 subs, 63 paid, 3-7+ emails per day), and the Daily News Digest (515 subs, 23 paid, single digest e-mail of The Daily News per day)
The Worst of Times: While we have over 10,000+ total subscribers, only 216 are paid subscribers... We aren't covering the costs and my finance thinks I am CRAZY to be spending so much of my time on the Daily News and Five Meme Friday ...
So... I am going to put it to the market... We are going to begin transitioning everything to Paid Only over the next couple of weeks to see if we can get to "1000 raving paying fans" Here is how it is going to go down...
