8 Toxic Types of People You Should Keep out of your Life and Carrier...
Toxic individuals are completely exhausting
to be around and they can have a negative
impact on your forward momentum.
Entrepreneurs need to remain laser
focused -- the distractions and stress that
toxic people bring into your life act as
unnecessary obstacles, so it is best to avoid
them.
You probably know a few toxic people --
they might work for you, you might be
friends with some or you might even live
with someone toxic. The sooner you
remove them from your life, the better.
Here are eight toxic types of people you
should steer clear of.
1. Those who are judgmental:
Judgmental people will find a way to
criticize anything and everything they come
in contact with. You could take the time to
explain something to them in great detail
but it goes in one ear and out the other.
They come to their conclusions before they
hear any facts -- they don’t listen well
and are horrible at communicating. Asking
for advice or feedback from a judgmental
person is a complete waste of time.
2. Those who are envious:
Being an entrepreneur can be a very
bumpy journey filled with highs and lows --
while it’s important to have a strong group
of supporters in your corner during the low
times it’s also important to have supporters
that are there to congratulate you when you
hit the high points. Envious people will not
be happy for you -- ever. They feel that it
should happen to them and nobody else.
3. Those who are control freaks:
Control freaks don’t ever want to listen --
they don’t have to, because according to
them they know everything and they know
the best way to do everything. While this
type of person can be a nuisance in your
personal life, they are a complete
nightmare to deal with in a business
environment.
A successful business structure requires team members that will
listen to and follow instructions. If you have
control freaks on your team it can cause a
“too many cooks in the kitchen” problem.
4. Those who are arrogant:
Don’t confuse confidence with arrogance --
confident people inspire, while arrogant
people intimidate and annoy. Someone
with an arrogant attitude feels he or she is
better than everyone around them. In a
personal setting this can be annoying, while
in a professional situation this can create
an uncomfortable environment.
5. Those who are victims:
The constant victim will always make
excuses and blame others for their
mistakes and wrongdoing. They are some
of the most toxic people to be around --
they will never accept responsibility and
always point the finger, which causes a
domino affect of the blame game in a work
setting. Flush them out of your business
and eliminate that headache.
6. Those who are Negative Nancies:
Someone who is always negative will drain
your positive energy immediately -- they
thrive on bringing everyone down around
them. You will never receive any words of
encouragement from a Negative Nancy.
They will discredit every idea you have and
instead of being supportive they will go out
of their way to point out every possible way
you could fail, rather than focus on
possibilities and potential. They are a major
energy-suck.
7. Those who are liars:
To be successful you have to surround
yourself with other successful individuals
that you can trust and count on to be there
for you.
You can’t trust liars and it's hard to
count on them because you never know if
they are lying or telling the truth. That type
of uncertainty will wear you out quickly --
eliminate them from your life and you
won’t have to wonder if you are being lied
to.
8. Those who are gossipers:
People gossip because they are insecure --
they don’t know how to separate fact from
speculation and when truths get twisted,
the wrong information is conveyed, feelings
get hurt and enemies are born. Having a
gossiper within your business can be very
destructive --
they are cancers and can
quickly create a negative environment.
If any of these ring a bell, then there is a
good chance you are being exposed to toxic
individuals. You should consider removing
them from the equation, allowing you to
remain 100 percent focused on reaching
your goals without unnecessary
distractions.

personal life and business in 2015, and by
doing so I have created a much better
environment for myself and my company.
