#38: Be Selfish (Because You Can, And Should)

Being ‘selfish’ is almost always seen as a negative thing. Most believe it’s caring only about yourself and disregarding others. But this couldn’t be further from the truth as you’ll find out in this episode.

Chris and Taylor ‘rebrand’ the word selfish and show you exactly why you can AND should be selfish to show just how healthy and productive selfishness can be.

What most people never understand is that being selfish in areas of your life actually ALLOWS you to be more generous in others.

The Bits You Should Listen to: - Be selfish today to be selfLESS down the road (3:00) - Withdrawing from a depleted bank account (3:20) - Everybody is cheating (5:00) - Ray Dalio’s ‘magic formula’ for better decision making (8:00) - Fire your friends and drop the negative people (13:00) - The BEST ever contribution you could ever give someone (13:35) - Why the most successful people just say no (14:00) - Hitting your potential is subconsciously offensive to people who aren’t (18:30)

Like the famous saying goes, ‘you can’t pour from an empty glass’. Tune in, learn the art of selfishness and set yourself up for long term success.
