How do you step from a 100-foot Pole?

You know the saying you dig your grave now sleep in it. Trying to step down from a 100-foot pole could seem challenging, but how the hell did you get up there in the first place?

Some people might find it challenging once being very successful in life to ground oneself. Someone said to me the other day,’ No matter how executive or important you are, there should be no reason for you to speak to anyone differently because of the position you are in. Grounding yourself is vital to everyday life. Have a clear understanding of where you are, and don’t get caught up in the moment, otherwise you’ll find yourself having to jump down to the ground. In most cases you’ll never be able to get up again and gain the respect you had when starting at the bottom. Expect to be treated the way you treat others.
