@vicktipnes: One of the greatest advantages entrepreneurship can give you isn’t money. It’s **proximity.** Someone asked Magic Johnson how he deals with haters and people constantly trying to bring him down. His answer? **“I do not care.”** Not because criticism doesn’t exist. Because he refuses to give it one ounce of his energy. He stays positive. He stays solution-driven. And instead of defending himself, he builds something bigger. His response to the people who hate what he’s doing today? **“If you think you hate me now, wait till next year.”** That mentality is worth paying attention to. And it’s also why I believe getting yourself into the right rooms matters so much. **Proximity to the right people can do more for your business than another 100 shallow internet hacks ever will.** Because the right conversation doesn’t just give you another tactic. It changes how you think. Build your business. Build your reputation. Build your relationships. And get close to people whose thinking forces yours to expand. Happy Birthday, bro @magicjohnson
