on Niccolò Machiavelli #6

“He who is highly esteemed is not easily conspired against;” – Niccolò Machiavelli

This quote by Machiavelli takes us down that same road as the quote about the fortress. It takes being highly regarded by people (especially those that follow you) to be respected to the point that there will be no problem when problems arise.

If they back you they will back you 100%. There is no 20%, no 50%, no 75%. It’s like being pregnant either you are or you are not. Yes, it is that simple. Either they got your back or they don’t.

Want to know the secret that ensures they got your back?

It is a simple secret. It is a timeless secret. It’s a secret that is really no secret. Just in case you missed it the first time, the secret is:

ENSURE THEY KNOW YOU HAVE THEIR BACK! 100%

and that’s not negotiable!
