1. The siren.
Sirens are those amazing and enticing people
who come into your business and completely
distract you. More than anyone else, these
people have a way of stealing your focus and
throwing your efforts off track.
A lot of promising futures have been
sacrificed to sirens. Some people have sold
their businesses for way less than they are
worth and others have given up on their
businesses to chase a get-rich-quick scheme
than some sirens pitched them. Don’t let this
happen to you. Don’t let an amazing person
make you forget that you and your business
have something amazing to offer the world,
too.
2. The goat.
Goats are those wildly charismatic, big-
talking and full-of-luck people who seem to
get away with everything. These people have
many strengths.
The problem is that they use their strengths
in devious ways. Goats have little ambition
beyond convincing others to make bad
decisions. If you find yourself constantly
making bad business decisions every time
you’re around someone in particular, it’s time
to cut that person out of your business.
3. The elephant.
An elephant never forgets. Elephants are
those people in your business who never let
you live down past mistakes. They never let
you live down who you used to be or how
many times you’ve messed up.
Don’t let an elephant pull you back into the
past. Everyone fails, especially entrepreneurs.
If you’ve failed, it means you’ve learned. So
stay on track and keep moving forward.
4. The hater.
Haters are people who want to be on top but
don’t want to work to get there. Instead, they
want to push everyone else around them down
so it will seem like they’re on top.
Haters are losers but they also can serve as a
source of motivation in a strange way. Don’t
let haters into your business but use them as
motivation to make your business as strong as
possible.
5. The narcissist.
Narcissists are talented people who are too
consumed with themselves to take action.
They’re especially bad at taking team-
oriented action.
A narcissist might even encourage you to put
the image of your business over its
reputation. This is always bad idea. When
starting a business, it’s best to be
transparent and authentic. Don’t try to make
things seem bigger than they are and avoid
trying to be something you’re not. Instead, be
real. Keep narcissists out of your startup and
stay focused on your reputation, not your
image.
6. The nemesis.
When you’re starting a business, sometimes
you’ll have to work with someone whom you
can’t stand and who can’t stand you. If you’re
not careful, this can become a major
distraction.
Try to realize that what you don’t like about
a nemesis is probably something you don’t like
about yourself or it’s something that you like
too much about yourself. Either way,
something is at odds with your identity and
the only way to fix it is to turn the mirror on
yourself, not the nemesis.
Your adversary can be your advisor in a way.
If you bring a nemesis into your startup, use
this person to learn about yourself. Once you
do this, he or she won’t be your nemesis
anymore.
7. The Ares.
Ares is the Greek god of war. Ares-type
people love conflict. They are addicted to
drama and winning at all costs, even if there’s
nothing to be won. Any time spent trying to
correct or even understand an Ares is a waste
of time. You are better off ignoring these
people and keeping them out of your business
altogether.
8. The Dionysus.
Dionysus is the Greek god of wine, parties
and pleasure. Dionysus sorts are pleasure
seekers who have very little patience for
anything other than instant gratification.
Be careful when letting these people into your
business because base pleasure of any kind is
both addictive and time-consuming. It’s
important to have friends and have fun, but
you should never sacrifice your startup to a
string of late nights.
9. The black cat.
Some people can walk into a business and
light it up. Others walk in and kill it. Black
cats are the latter. They are the people who
seem to have a dark cloud following them
everywhere they go.
These people are unlucky, negative and always
depressed. Don’t feel bad for these people.
Odds are, they like sitting in the pits. They
like the attention it gives them. So, let them
sit. Just make sure they’re sitting outside
your business.
10. The fat cat.
Fat cats are those people who will come into
your business, throw a bunch of money around
and offer you the world. Whether these
people are angel investors or venture
capitalists from top firms, don’t let their
flash or their cash distract you from the
fact that they want to control your company
and make money off you.
Be very careful with whom give your business
to. You didn’t work this hard to watch your
brand and reputation go down in flames at
the paws of some fat cat who is now calling
the shots.
