Think about your current ecosystem and about who shares your core values and who you want to invest your time with.

When you have negative experiences with people you don’t get that time back, and those experiences will influence your decisions for the rest of your life.
Be very critical of the people you let into your life and be willing to let people go when you discover that they are not a fit.
The core values of your organization have nothing to do with what’s on people’s resumes. Your core values should be concise and clear.
When you start to get to know somebody the Gains exchange is a great way to build the foundation of the relationship. Enter into a dialogue about your goals, accomplishments, interests, networks, and skills to facilitate a great conversation.
