No Free Pass — Call Out The Flakes
Happy Monday! Question for you:
Ever had someone promise to do something for you by a certain time, only to flake? We all have. Want it to stop?
Stop asking them again and again to do it, and instead, ask them WHY they didn’t do it. Don’t call them in, call them out.
Every time someone flakes on you and you ask them to do it again, you’re resetting the deadline, and giving them a free pass. But if you ask them WHY they haven’t done it yet, you’re forcing them to face their own misdeed. They had a deadline, a commitment on which they failed to deliver. Asking them why they failed to deliver on that commitment is usually much more useful than asking them again to do what they promised. At the very least, you might learn something about them that’s causing them to miss deadlines. But more than likely, they won’t flake on you again, because you didn’t just call them in, you called them out.
That’s my Monday tip. Enjoy the week!

PS: Ever wish you’d bought Bitcoin below $10 a coin? Well, I might not be as cool as Bitcoin, but $SHANK Coin, which launched at .33 cents less a few months ago is now over $6 a coin. I’m not saying $SHANK is going to be the next Bitcoin, but I’m not NOT saying that, either. ;) $SHANK is part of the Rally.io network, which is tied to Ethereum, and if you know anything about crypto, you know how hot Ethereum is right now. Plus with $SHANK, you get TONS of insider perks, including free copies of my books, free brainstorming sessions with me, free invites to my conferences, even meals when I’m in your city! PLUS, $SHANK lives on the Rally network — which gives REWARDS EACH WEEK to coin holders in the form of MORE CRYPTO! (To give you some idea, someone who owns 400 $SHANK coins received about $100 in crypto rewards last week.) So become an insider. Pick up a few $SHANK coins, and when you do, contact me your rally username and I’ll throw in a few more for you for free, just because that’s how nice I am. :)
