If you want to be respected, taken seriously, and included in rooms where life-changing opportunities exist, you need to do some honest introspection.

Don’t be the guy who sends people his account number without being asked. Someone gets paid, buys something expensive, or appears to have money, and your next move is to slide into their DM with your account details. That’s very weird. Get rid of that sense of entitlement.
