My job is to make you look good! What is your job? Here I am faced with a decision, and when I weigh the decision against my job description (to make you look good), can I come to the right or most effective decision? Maybe yes, and maybe no. I can tell you that it will certainly help if I look at what I decide and then figure out whether or not that helps you to look good. Now the true warrior knows it isn’t all black and white, and that it cannot be the only objective yardstick one applies to their decision-making criteria. You must also have a code of morals that are applied as well—a list of criteria that help you make decisions, so that you are not making everything up as you go along. Put that in check list form, if it helps.

This is kind of like the three rules for real estate investing: “Location, location, location!” True warriors have a similar mandate. They are interested in helping you look good as a result of your interactions with them. Why? Well, if the purpose of the outcome is for the true warrior to look good, how will those around them feel? If you end up looking good as a result, instead of the true warrior, how do you feel about that? Gratitude comes to mind, and for the true warrior, humility may be their gift.

If you spend your time helping the other guy look good, how are you going to feel about yourself? Not a bad payday is it? You are warriors, and if you have a meaningful job description, get behind it and make it real, tangible, and effective, because all that you do is how you are judged … and you can be judged to be extraordinarily successful, helpful, prosperous, and wise. So it has been written.
