    • Live from the Berry- Conversation with Ernie

    My conversation with Ernie:
    Topic: Favors
    Never promise to do too many things for people, you will always get burnt if you can’t deliver. People always tell you they can do things and make things happen for you, then they get stressed when they can’t deliver. Have you ever promise people things and then you forgot or did not get around to it and then you get stressed? You never want to be that guy. That you have 5 favors coming down the pipeline and then you just want to disappear from the world?

    When people ask you to do things based on your relationship with them, always be careful that it does not jeopardize what you believe in. At the end of the day you have to make sure it benefits you as well if not don’t do it.
    “If you ask me for a favor, you better make sure you can do something for me. Don’t feel like you can just ask me to do something without a benefit to me when it is about business. When it comes to friendship I will do the world for you” Ernie
    “Would you rather be the asshole for being truthful to someone or would you rather be the asshole who says he can do something but never deliver?” You always have to pick which asshole you want to be! Ernie
    Everyone thinks they have a hot idea and or opprotunity, if after 5 days of trying to reach you the idea is still hot in their head, you might want to listen to it and take it into consideration. If after the idea they pitch you is simmered down maybe it was not so hot to begin with. So make sure before you do someone a favor and just jump on what they are pitching you make sure you know that they have fully thought their “HOT” idea trough.
    I had this conversation with Ernie this morning in an office. These are some of the great points and quotes I retained.
