9 Principles Potential

This came off a bookmark by MBM.

2022 update: Mindset Success Series! Part 3! People are asking me how I’ve managed to grow my Youtube lately. I have a lot of texts and DMS, see my Instagram if you are interested, I do not like to overly brag and I take it with a grain of salt to be honest. (I wish this enthusiasm was there at the beginning of my journey, but now I’ve reached one of my goals people take you more seriously.) To attempt to put a dent in my messages, I’ve been publishing a lot of reels on Instagram and now I decided to add in a few articles on what mindsets I had that got me to where I am today. It will be a while before I respond to everyone. Happy Kwanzaa everyone!

Here’s this company’s 9 principles. I’m not a 9 to 5 girl, but after reading this I wanted to share it and my takeaways.

1. Integrity. Have the courage to always act with integrity.
2. Stewardship and Compliance. Act with proper regard for the rights of others. Put safety first. Drive environmental and comply with all laws and regulations. Stop, think and ask.
3. Principled Entrepreneurship. Practice a philosophy of mutual benefit. Create superior value for the company by doing so for our customers and society. Help make Koch the preferred partner of customers, employees, suppliers, communities and other important constituencies.
4. Transformation. Transform yourself and the company. Seek, develop and utilize the visions, strategies, methods and products that will enable us to create the greatest value.
5. Knowledge. Acquire the best knowledge from any and all sources that will enable you to improve your performance. Share your knowledge proactively. Provide and solicit challenge consistently and respectfully.
6. Humility. Be humble, intellectually honest and deal with reality constructively. Develop an accurate sense of self worth based on your strengths, limitations and contributions. Hold yourself and others accountable to these standards.
7. Respect. Treat everyone with honesty, dignity, respect and sensitivity. Embrace different perspectives, experiences, aptitudes, knowledge and skills in order to leverage the power of diversity.
8. Self-Actualization. Be a life long learner and realize your potential.

Takeaways.

Here’s one of the biggest advice I’ve been giving people. Split up into A, B, C, D.

Blunt warning. Don’t read if you are thin skinned.

I'm effin warning you. Lol. Last chance. This is part rant, part advice wrapped into one.

A. I’ve had people lie on me throughout the years because they didn’t understand me, why I did things the way I did things, or pure jealously. I was never the type to reveal every move I make, I move in silence. And then leave the world wondering how I did it. The reason why I’m successful with my Youtube is because I didn’t listen to all those people that told me I couldn’t. Or your delusional. The nerve. I have a lot of people crawling out of the woodwork. I’m successful in it because I didn’t listen to people like you from my past, telling me I couldn’t do it. Now you are texting me and calling me having to eat your words. Now you are trying to get back in my good graces, because you don’t think you won’t be able to figure it out. Or you are simply trying to ride someone’s coattails. (Damn it 722 texts is ridiculous, I have NEVER been on people’s radar like this.) Even if I didn’t give you any advice, I’m sure you would be able to figure it out. (A lot of them have degrees. Yall ain’t dummies, just haven’t found your purpose. And like me, you listened to the life script that you were told by your parents and society on what will make you happy, and now that we are all adults and living life, are you really as happy as you thought? If so, keep proceeding forth. If not, figure out what your happiness will look like and the story you will go by moving forward. It might be doing what I did, and starting a new life with a whole new identities (Go Hoosiers, no religion, and cutting a lot of people that never cared for me out). For you it might be getting a divorce (or getting married). I got rid of my schools, religion, my car (a long time ago) , and I ended up being hella happy.

And now I did this with Youtube? These people acted like I parted the Red sea or did a Godly act. Noooo dears. I believed in me when you didn’t. I ignored most of the advice I was given. I rebelled against social norms. It’s not rocket science! I’m not a YouTube guru, master, or expert, or sit in the side of a lab somewhere lmfao! I embraced my quirks, and didn’t let people beat the personality out of me when they imposed their opinions or called me names.

B. I have become very good at being a comeback kid. You have to learn how to become very good at people throwing bricks at you, then turning those bricks into empires. Get good at having a catcher’s mitt, and catching bricks.

C. When you have non-traditional dreams, expect ice outs from people you love, talk to and care about. Meaning they will cold turkey stop talking to you. Or gossip, lie to other people you know, get those people to turn on you and stop talking to you (and yeah, in my situations they were stupid enough to believe the gossipers, what a shame.) This is all a part of the process. Sometimes, unfortunate circumstances happen to see what you are made of, and to see how bad you want it. HOW I AM TODAY GOT ME MY YOUTUBE SUCCESS, OK!?!?!? It’s not so crazy when it actually happens right? There’s a number of them being silent, but you knowwwww they are watching, thinking, damn. She made her dreams come true, now I have no excuses for not making my dreams come true.

In some cases, you might think you have more resources, support, people, behind you, maybe even you’re smarter? Yet this person is still more successful than you? To be blunt, maybe the person has more balls and backbone than you do to go for their dreams. Maybe they didn’t let people talk them out of their dreams, but you did. You are either going to shit or get off the toilet. I think anyone that’s reading this can make a dream or two come true, but you really got to follow through on the plan. So many people say they are going to do things, but don’t. Are you going to follow through, or are you doing to talk about what you are gonna do but never do it? You get to choose.

D. Your husband or wife ain’t going to do it. The friends and co-workers that you gossip to aint going to do it. When you find out that no one is coming to save you, the game changes.

E. Have some backbone. I talk about some hard things on Youtube. Some people will get offended, take it wayyyyy too personally, and try to make you look like the bad person. Stay the course. Pick your battles, not every battle is worth it! But when you do, go for the bullseye and stick with it. Some of these videos have become very popular and I get a lot of comments and engagement on them.

F. Grow a pair, aka thick skin.

G. When successes like this happen to you, know that the Universe is telling you that you are doing the right things and headed in the right direction.

H. Done for today, check back tomorrow.

It’s 2022 . 🔥🙌
