As we’ve discussed before,
there are two types of people in the world.
There are those that believe
in scarcity,
that success is a zero-sum game.
If you win,
they lose.
These folks may say they’re happy
for your success
but they’re not really happy
because by you succeeding,
you’ve reduced the chance
of them succeeding.
In the other camp
are those that believe in abundance.
They believe if you win,
they can win also.
They’re happy for you
when you succeed.
They’ll help you to succeed.
So what does this have to do
with today,
Valentine’s Day?
One of the easiest ways
to determine
a woman’s view of the world
is to listen for the word ‘love.’
Scarcity believers won’t use love
to describe much.
They believe they can only love
so many people, so many things.
One of my loved ones is a scarcity believer
and she’ll only sign a specific number
of holiday cards with ‘love.’
As her family grew,
she nixed siblings off her list of people
she loved.
World of abundance women
will use love to describe everything.
They love white chocolate brownies.
They love people they met
two minutes ago.
They love movies and books
and their jobs
and…well…everything.
They believe love and wealth and success
is unlimited.
Listen for the love.
Those are the women
you want on your team.
