The bank you have–probably your neighborhood Big Bank–is most likely a big fat rip-off with fees and minimums that you don’t need to be paying. 

Banks love average customers, because we don’t really want to switch banks, and they think we don’t know any better about things like monthly fees and overdraft protection.

I’ve had the privilege of talking to many top performers and I’ve found one thing that stops them from reaching their full potential is how they talk to themselves. It may not seem like much, but negative self talk can be the one thing preventing you from living your dream life. 

But it doesn’t have to. You can start today and shift that hurtful self talk into something more positive. The way you talk to yourself can become a vehicle that helps you reach your goals instead of a barrier preventing you from obtaining them. 

Before we get into tactics, let’s take a look at how negative self talk affects us at a deep level. 

Btw, I have a video where I answer some questions about negative self talk. You can watch it below.

Have you ever had a conversation with a friend or stranger and ended up offending them with your honesty? It sucks, right? Too often I have people asking me how to handle situations like these. Should they pander to the other person’s opinion? Should they start being honest all together? 

If you want to communicate more effectively, then the right answer is none of the above!

There is a middle ground between these two extremes that you can learn to distinguish. And once you’re able to occupy this space during your conversations, you’ll find that they’ll go a lot more smoothly. 

If you want to finally learn how to talk to people without rubbing them the wrong way, keep reading.

Are you the type of person who desperately wants to improve your social life and make new connections, but just can’t seem to break out of your shell?

If you’re familiar with Ramit’s story, then you know he’s been in that exact same place. 

Although he may come across as confident and polished now, it wasn’t too long ago that he used to be fearful of putting himself out there and meeting new people. 

There’s a story he usually tells to illustrate this. 

Ramit was attending a few networking events years ago and didn’t say a word to anyone. He was surrounded by people who were interested in the same things as him, but instead of striking up a conversation, Ramit just stared at his phone the entire time. 

Because he was so shy, he missed out on forming relationships with people...
