Instead of shooting the typical mid-month video, since the November challenge by T1 Growth Academy is all about having quality people in our life, in this podcast episode I decided to answer a great question a few of you asked me: “Besides obvious situations, how can I decide who should not be part of my life?”Less is more. Over the years my network got larger and larger, hitting almost 10k across LinkedIn, Instagram and Facebook. In May, I decided to do a social media cleansing and decrease my social media following to 3'000 people, and that was the best decision I could ever make because it allowed me to strengthen the relationship with people I truly cared about.Would you live a happier life if you cut some people loose? Here is some food for thought! :)Have a look at my Company website --> www.t1growthacademy.comFollow me on LinkedIn & Instagram here --> https://linktr.ee/MatteoGrosso©2021 by T1 Growth Academy.
