We've all heard that nice guys finish last, right?
Now, that's not always true. But when it is,
it's because those nice guys make at least one of these crucial mistakes.
They 1. Make someone else's needs more important than their own.
2. Allow others to trample on their boundaries.
3. Don't want to hurt people's feelings.
4. Don't want to burden others with their needs or wants.
5. Don't want to be seen as selfish jerks.
6. Prefer to avoid conflict.
And or 7. Follow the golden rule.

The two adjustments coming up have changed my husband's life,
our marriage, and many of our coaching clients.
One, everyone is not nice or generous.
Many people are mean or selfish.
I know it sounds obvious, but making this a conscious adjustment
is extremely important.
So you can approach each situation differently
based on what is actually in front of you.
I mean, do you drive the same speed on twisty mountain roads
that you do on a highway?
Would you approach these two doggies the same?
Of course not.
Two, trust what you know.
As a nice person, you are the perfect judge of what's not nice.
So that is your reminder to speak your truth.
Remember, you are not a bad person.
So the harshest thing you could say is still fair-minded and considerate.
Here's the problem.
When you hold back your full truth, it sounds too soft for most people.
So it gives them the idea that you're a pushover.
Which is why your most direct and honest approach is required.
Because it will make your position perfectly clear,
but will never cross into disrespect, right?
Making these small adjustments will improve your life drastically.
Because we're not just talking about who buys dinner or who helps someone move.
Most importantly, it's about respecting the value of the nice guy.
Not just from others, but for himself.
If you've ever struggled with any of these, say this with me.
This nice guy finishing last is a thing of the past.
Yes, that's pretty corny.
However, this anchor will stick with you long enough
to make the changes you really want and need.
