Sometimes You're Best To Keep Your Mouth Shut
It’s not always advisable to tell people what you think, especially when it comes to business. As John Paul talks about in this edition, it might be best to hold your tongue, or the effects of what you can say can have lasting damage. KEY TAKEAWAYS It doesn’t matter if you’re right or wrong. You should think about the way you’ll make someone feel if you argue against their point. People who are wrong will often recognise that after the fact. Let your antagonist go away and think. Most of the time they’ll admit their fault. We build relationships through positive action. We ruin relationships through negative action. The very act of arguing is a negative action. BEST MOMENTS ‘It’s about choosing when not to argue with people’ ‘It’s not going to end well, even if you’re right and they’re wrong’ ‘You don’t want to be “that” guy’ ABOUT THE HOST John Paul Reilly is dyslexic business man who left school just before his 16th birthday, barely able to read and write, to the point that at exam time one of the teachers had to read the questions out to him (and then write down his answers). Written off, like most kids who struggled at school, and being told by his woodwork teacher he was “nothing, and would amount to nothing” he now runs a multi award-winning company in the construction industry . A loud but shy person who knew he wanted to achieve great things with no clue what business he wanted to do but knew that’s what he wanted. With his first business started at age 14, to now, he has learned most things the hard way. Now the owner of multiple business with one being multi award winning, John Paul has been in business over many years sharing what he has learned over this time mainly the hard way.
