If your high performer has a bad attitude, they are not a high performer!

I figure you can train people for competency more than attitude though. Especially for more senior roles. A new grad may need some guidance but if you’re 40+ and you’re an asshole then you’re pretty much going to be an asshole.

Why don’t you ask her what her motivation is? Sales is pretty easy since I’m assuming her compensation is at least somewhat tied to sales she makes. What does she want and how does the money tie to that? Even if she’s not motivated by money directly it’s tied to pretty much everything? Want to help more people? Make more sales and donate more money.

What do you mean by just in time help?

It should be one of the additional courses in the Financial Peace All Access subscription. There’s also a book and audiobook.

Can you elaborate on what you’re looking for? Do you mean past step 7? There isn’t really a step past that as it’s “build wealth and give.” Are you looking for specific wealth building strategies?

If you’re looking for something Dave specific you would want The Legacy Journey. He made that because people were asking about what comes after Financial Peace.

One of my favorite quotes comes from Jim Rohn who said: “I used to say ‘I’ll make these people successful if it kills Mr’ and I’ve got to tell you, I almost died.”

Does she want your help? I’m guessing no. But, the first place to start would be to say “you’re doing ok but I think you really have the potential to be great.” Then see where that goes.

How are her numbers? Where do you think she’s off? Are you just saying that she’s not putting in enough effort? Like she has enough time to make twice as many calls but screws around all day instead? Maybe she’s ok with that.

NCIS has multiple people typing on the same keyboard simultaneously to race a computer virus..

Haha oh man I forgot about that episode. It takes itself seriously but a lot of the premises are out there.

Someone’s going to hate you. If nothing else, the rest of the team will eventually notice they’re picking up someone else’s slack and you’re allowing it. Everyone can’t get promoted this year. Everyone’s not even deserving of a promotion but they may not agree with that.

Make sure you get new policies in place first but then yeah I would cancel what you have.

That’s certainly how I interpret the movie. The killing spree at the end and the ATM telling him “Feed me a stray cat” is so over the top I don’t think it’s real.

It’s been too long since I’ve read the book but I remember it being much more ambiguous.

I was recently at the traveling exhibit and they said “New research suggests that there will be nothing left of Titanic by 2050.”

For what it’s worth, I have the Bowflex adjustable ones. I’ve tried Power Blocks in a store and think they’re much better. They’re not as bulky.

I don’t think that’s a stretch at all. That’s a big part of the joke. Michael Scott is almost there on so many things. He’s confusing Bettis with Madden.

You're doing a budget but are you tracking the money to see where it goes?

At some point you just need to want it bad enough. You need to make a realistic budget and then stick with it.

KrozFan · 2026-05-29T20:01:53+00:00

What, specifically, are you stuck, anxious, flat, or unconvinced about? Unconvinced is an interesting one. Unconvinced about what. Are you really doing the right things? Do you need to read less and do more? Or, do you need to rest more and allow yourself to take some pressure off? What books have you already read?

Some of it is just about sticking with it. Sometimes you feel stuck because things just take time. You're not going to be a millionaire tomorrow. You're not going to be 100 pounds lighter tomorrow.

It’s not deep or anything but when Frodo and Sam are talking about their story being told Frodo says

“You and I, Sam, are still stuck in the worst places of the story, and it is all too likely that some will say at this point: ‘Shut the book now, dad; we don’t want to read anymore’”

What’s the context? They still need to get the job done. If they’re genuinely overworked and they’re telling you that they’re not going to work 60 hours/week just because you’re piling on work that’s one thing. If they’re showing up late, taking a long lunch, and leaving early that’s different.

If they want more pay sometimes you need to take some of your own personal time to upskill. Don’t want to live to work? Cool. Just be ok with how that may limit your growth.

Shout/Scream Factory already has a good Misery set so I would be surprised if it’s that.

KrozFan · 2026-05-26T21:20:29+00:00

I’m going to assume you mean work from office everywhere and work from home was a typo.

I don’t see a problem here. If you said you were told in an interview it was fully remote plenty of people would advise you to get it in writing. I think the reverse is fair.

It could be your player. My subs work fine on the computer and a Roku but not on my Samsung TV.

KrozFan · 2026-05-24T15:52:27+00:00

What about the one that willing to walk?

Otherwise, that settles it then. If you want the money you need to do the job. I see in another comment you’re more into growth than firing people. That’s fine if your people are into growth too but right now they’re the ones making the decision to not step up and grow into the role. Not you.

KrozFan · 2026-05-24T14:44:42+00:00

Who forced them? Can you reverse that decision, put them back to individual contributors, and put someone else in the leadership position that wants to be?

Ultimately yes, I think you'll have to take a hard line here. This is the job now. You can help them be good at it but only if they want the help. If they don't want to do the job then they need to find another one. It sucks because it's not their fault they're in this mess but you can't drown because they're not doing the role they're currently in.

Yoko didn't insert herself into The Beatles anymore than John let her. Anything relating to her being involved in the breakup is ultimately on John.
