Intelligence Energy Integrity

People who work with that have high intelligence
High energy
And high integrity
That's the three-part checklist that you cannot compromise on
You need someone who's smart or they're heading in the wrong direction
You need someone high energy
Because the world is full of smart lazy people
Everyone's smart at different things
So, depending on what you want to do well you have to
Find someone who's smart at that thing And energy
A lot of times people are unmotivated for a specific thing
But they're not motivated for other things
For example, someone might be really
Unmotivated to go to a job and sit in an office
But they might be really motivated to go paint
Well in that case they should be a painter
They should be putting art up on the internet
Trying to figure out how to build a career out of that
Rather than wearing a collar around their neck
And going to a dreary job
And then high integrity is the most important
Because otherwise got the other two you have a
Smart and hardworking crook
Who's eventually gonna cheat you
So, you have to figure out the person's high integrity
The way you do that is through signals
And signals is what they do
Not what they say
It's all the nonverbal stuff that people do
When they think nobody's looking

I almost won't start a company or a
Hire a person or work with somebody
If I just don't think they're into what I want them to do
When I was younger, I used to try and talk people into doing things
There is this idea you can sell someone into doing something
But you can't
You can't keep them motivated
You can get them inspired initially
It might work if you're a king like Henry the fifth
And you're trying to get them to charge into battle
And then they'll figure it out
But if you trying to keep someone motivated for the long term
That motivation has to come intrinsically
You can't just create it nor can you be the crutch for them
Reading signals is very-very important
Signals are what people do despite what they say
We all know that socially if someone treats a waiter
Or waitress in a restaurant really badly
Then it's only a matter of time until they treat you badly
If somebody screws over an enemy and is vindictive towards them
It's only a matter of time before they redefined you
From friends to enemy and you feel their wrath Angry,
Outraged, vindictive, short-term thinking
People are that way in many interactions in their life

People are oddly consistent is one of the things you learn about them
So, you want to find long-term people
You want to find people who seem irrationally ethical
That's the kind of person you want to work with
Self-esteem is a reputation that you have with yourself
You'll always know
Good people moral people, ethical people,
Easy to work with people, reliable people
Tend to have very high self-esteem because it they
Have very good reputation with themselves And they understand that
It's not ego- self-esteem and ego are different things
Because ego can be undeserving
But self-esteem at least you feel like you lived up
To your own internal moral code of ethics
The more someone is saying that they are moral
And ethical and high integrity
The less likely they are to be that way
It's very much like status signaling
If you overtly talk about high status that is a low status move

If you openly talk about how honest and reliable
And trustworthy you are
You're probably not that honest and trustworthy
That is a characteristic of con-men
