Create Real Change: It’s Okay To Polarize Your Audience

“You've got to sacrifice something of lower value to get something of higher value. That's called profit. In this case, what you sacrifice is everyone liking you… and what you're gaining are some people really liking you because you speak some real truth that they resonate with.” โ€“RJon Robins

  • The people who get you “here” are not necessarily the people who will get you “there”
  • Polarization isn't just inevitable but necessary when you're in the business of helping people make meaningful change

Healthy and Unhealthy Confrontation

"One of the things that you have to do to build a successful business that stays successful is you have to learn healthy confrontation." – RJon Robins

Welcome inside the vault. This is a collection of previously unreleased lessons from eight-figure entrepreneurial mastermind RJon Robins. And in case you didn't see the warning label, this content can be explicit and is for serious entrepreneurs only.

In this lesson from the July 2024 Live Quarterly Meeting, RJon takes law firm owners through an unexpected but necessary mindset journey about communication and confrontation. He explains the three ways people communicate and navigate confrontation in business and life:ย 

  1. Healthy confrontation: Requires emotional maturity, creativity, and the ability to tolerate dissonance while finding common ground.
  2. Unhealthy confrontation: Creates cycles of conflict between explosive communication that damages relationships followed by passive retreat.
  3. Avoiding confrontation: Passive "driftwood" behavior means never speaking up, never asking for what you want, and going with the flow to avoid confrontation.

RJon challenges law firm owners to examine their own communication and confrontation patterns to understand how it may be sabotaging their business and personal lives. He encourages them to embrace healthy confrontation and shares how even at the highest levels of success, the mindset work never stops.
