A short YouTube monologue (Mark Evans DM, uploaded Oct 21, 2023) advising listeners to avoid negativity and curate their social circles. The speaker argues that people who speak negatively are "below you" across mental, emotional, physical, and financial dimensions, emphasizes being selective about who you surround yourself with, and claims that only a small fraction ("maybe 5%") share the entrepreneurial mindset needed to handle related challenges.
Anybody talking shit is never above you. They're always below you. Mentally, emotionally, physically, typically, financially. I'm very conscious of my circle. We still need people to work. Truth is, it's not even a thought. People are out there, they want to work. Some people love that. I think one of the biggest misconceptions, especially in entrepreneurial world, is everyone's like us. Only maybe 5% is like us. Majority of the world don't want to deal with the shit we got to deal with.
