James Laughlin argues that trying to please everyone dilutes who you are. He recounts being told to consider every perspective, then explains why that approach backfires. Define yourself and what you stand for instead.
If you try to be everything to everyone, you'll end up being nothing to anyone. Look, I realized that recently when someone was saying, james, you've got to make sure you think of this, and you apply this to this, and you think of everyone when you're doing this. And I realized, you know what? I can't dilute who I am. I am who I am. And I'm going to really encourage you just to think about who is it you are? What do you stand for? Because you can't be everything to everyone.
