High-Performance Friends & Family (3๐) Flashcards
This is Brendon's simple starter plan for improved connection.
1
Q
Categorize your relationships.
A
- Read Brendonโs โThe Chargeโ book.
- Maintenance friends are those you call maybe once a year โ normally old friends.
- Growth friends are those you cultivate by staying in touch and having adventures with long-term.
- Release the guilt about deciding whoโs really important in your life.
- Choose the people in your life โ friends and family โ who you really want to grow with. Spend time with those you truly connect to and see a future with.
2
Q
Schedule yearly adventure trips.
A
- To live a flourishing life, schedule time each year to bring together your growth friends and family on separate trips โ a trip w/ each group.
- These trips donโt have to be long or extravagant which means theyโre 100% reasonable to do.
- Your family and friends bring life to you more than anyone else, but you need to cultivate these relationships.
3
Q
Win the SOs.
A
- โTo win in relationships with family and friends you have to win the significant others.โ
- Too few people take the time to learn about the passions, needs and backgrounds of their friends and familyโs SOs. To create a real sense of family in life, you canโt ostracize your core circleโs extended families.
- Learn your growth circleโs SOโs birthday and other important occasions.
- When you celebrate the lives of everyone in your growth circle, you create an even closer knit group.
