your team that spread lies? If so, you need to learn how to create a better environment. “Your relationships will either make you or break you and there is no such thing as a neutral relationship. People either inspire you to greatness or pull you down in the gutter, it’s that simple. No one fails alone, and no one succeeds alone.” -Eric Thomas Step 5.

Learn how to make partnerships, try new processes to see what’s working and what’s not. You don’t have to stay in the gutter mindset. Choose a winning mindset and execute!
