Hello, ladies and gentlemen, in this episode, Marsha Kerr Talley shares insightful perspectives on the importance of carefully selecting your associations. You have the right, and indeed the responsibility, to choose who you invite into your life, whether that be in a professional or personal capacity.
Through several touching stories and personal experiences, Marsha emphasizes on the concept that not everyone will align with your character, values, morals or even your business goals, regardless of whether or not you serve the same industry or market. She notes that it's essential to recognize and accept this fact, and to not force relationships that simply do not gel well.
Drawing upon experiences in interviewing entrepreneurs and networking with various business owners, authors, and influencers, Marsha reflects on the unique dynamic of each relationship, and how some connections grow strong despite differences, while others fail because of deeply-seated, irreconcilable differences.
Marsha highlights on the concept of 'reciprocity' in relationships, which means there is a mutual exchange of value. Just as in nature, there is a time for giving and a time for receiving. True, healthy relationships abide by this balance. If one finds themselves constantly giving and never receiving, it's a certain red flag, and such relationships need reassessment.
On a final note, Marsha wraps up the episode by reminding listeners of their worth, emphasizing that all relationships in their life should add value rather than take away. Whether it be your peace, joy, or overall comfort, the right relationships should bolster these aspects rather than undermine them. Marsha encourages her listeners to make the tough decisions, and to remember they are well within their rights to choose who they associate with. This thought-provoking episode will inspire you to evaluate the relationships in your life and to make choices that preserve your time, resources, and mental health.
