Get away from me you energy vampire!

Okay put away your crosses and holy water and don’t start fights with people for leaving the lights on because this has nothing to do with the 2 subjects but you knew that right?

Have you ever been in a good mood where you felt like a million bucks? Like you could jump out of a moving car and land feet first on a pile of money? Well when you do land, here’s comes someone out of no where

“you know with you getting all that money, IRS is going to take half of it and you better catch the driver of that car you fell out of and make sure they have some gas money because with the way their moving, they’ll be out of gas after driving 2 blocks.”

I got another one for you. This actually happened to me and my friend.

My buddy and I decided to hit up the local casino after hearing that they were having a FREE raffle for $50,000. Yea I was excited after hearing free. Forget the $50,000 right?

When we got there, we saw that after sliding a card, you get a total of one whole entry and you had to gamble to get more entries into the contest.

I didn’t go to gamble with my money. I was there to claim my $50,000.

Well after seeing the contest rules and seeing how many people were playing, we knew the odds had pretty much ganged up on us, but who cares. It’s free so we still remained optimistic talking of what we would do if we won the money.

Well as were talking away, this older lady comes smoothly scrolling out of no where and bitterly says “Oh we ain’t gonna win. Only the high rollers get a chance to win. I been coming here trying to win for 25 years and they ain’t never called my name”

Get away from me!

What!!!! You mean and tell me people don’t win money at a casino?

Now first off, why can’t we be high rollers? She just assumed that we weren’t high rollers and then why do you come over here in our positive zone of dreaming and fantasizing and insist that since you haven’t won after 25 years, we couldn’t win after a 1 hours of waiting?

Lastly, why has it taken 25 year for you to….. Let me say that anther way. After 25 years, you’re still coming back here faithfully?

Well to get to the point, we didn’t let her kill our buzz. We politely asked her to get out of our positive energy circle…. LOL.. No we just stopped speaking to her and watched her walk off talking into someone else’s ear.

Bet your thinking of one right now

Energy vampires are negative people that will suck your positive energy out of you with looks, words and actions.

It can be a boss, friend or worse of all, a family member. They don’t discriminate. Your job is to spot these energy suckers and either eliminate them from your life or limit their access to you before they suck you dry.

On my road to success in real estate, I’ve had to make choices in who I associate with and how much time I associate myself with them.

Many say “if it ain’t about money don’t talk to me”. Well mines is “if it’s not about being successful, I’ll holla”. It is your life and you have a lot more control than you think.

You can choose not to answer phones or instead of a night out on the town like always with the same folks, stay in and read an inspiration book. Knowledge is key and if you have enough keys, you can open many doors.

Here’s the stake for those Vampires

Here are some scenarios and prevention tips to taking control of the situations when you’re attacked by an energy vampire

Phone calls: Simply don’t answer sometimes. If you’re worried about feelings, simply answer the phone and before they can talk, say something like “Hey so & so; I was just about to get started reading this book, or I was just getting ready to write this paper for class”. Something letting them know that your busy. This will make them cut the conversation short and get off the phone after only a minute or so. Works wonders.

When people come at you with negative talk, simply tell them that you don’t really want to hear it in a friendly way and politely change the subject. I try to make the subject change funny because this method usually puts a block of ice between you two. LOL

If your boss is a energy vampire, sorry to say, but they’ve probably been like that and are now stuck in their ways. You’re best best is to quit your job and hop on the Road to Success with me. Either that or go to another dead end job where the same thing will usually take place 9.9 times out of 10.

I dealt with many people saying that real estate was a bad choice for me as a career. Well if they talk about the negative too much and never focus on the good, you may start to doubt things yourself. They need to completely be eliminated or you could use step 2. Either they’ve got to cease with the negative talk. I would find it pretty darn hard to eat a nice lunch in a cow manurer fertilizer plant. Think about it. It’s a subliminal……

Say daily affirmations to stay confident and always be in a positive mindset. One of my favorites is thanking God for sending key people into my life to assist me in becoming successful in real estate. I love this one because it’s so true and no one can tell me different.

DON”T WATCH THE NEWS OR READ THE NEWSPAPER. Their the biggest energy vampires of all time. First many of the stations are full of lies (trust me) and all they talk about is bad stuff. All I needed was to finally feel like I’m getting somewhere in real estate then turn on the news and here that their putting a hold on foreclosures. With out not watching the news and listening to my colleagues, I probably would have went and found a job. Many may disagree but suit yourself. I jump over couches to get the remote and change the channel.

Im drained

Well that’s it and mostly all you need for those energy suckers. I’ve given you the cross and wooden stakes you need to take care of them.

I want to hear your stories of how you’ve handled or handle energy vampires. Some of these should be good. Please any feedback and input is welcomed.

Hope you enjoyed because I enjoyed writing and in case your wondering, I didn’t win that $50,000. That darn energy vampire. Funny thing though. When they called the winner, they called a Liz something.

I thought they said Lennis which is so close to Dennis that I started my walk but the bucket of reality was dumped on me out of no where.

Have a great day (night; wherever you are)
