How to Deal With People Who Are Toxic & Don’t Respect Your Growth
Feeling unsupported or surrounded by the wrong people?
Wondering how to know if someone is toxic to your life, business, job—or just your peace of mind?
In this post, I’m breaking down:
- How to spot toxic behavior
- The warning signs of negative people
- What to do about toxic friends, coworkers, or even family members
You’ll learn how to set boundaries, say no to negativity, and protect your mindset—especially if you’re dealing with toxic relationships that drain your energy or slow your growth.
If you’re building something better for your life, you need the right people around you. So let’s talk about the red flags, the mindset shifts, and exactly how to deal with people who don’t respect your journey.
How to Deal With People Who Don’t Respect Your Growth – Not Everyone Deserves a Seat at Your Table
When you’re trying to do something better with your life and other people aren’t… how do you figure out how to deal with them?
Real Life Example: Disrespecting Your Time and Sacrifices
For instance: we have “this person” who’s been staying at our house.
I get up early in the morning because I have to work with someone who’s not in this country and who’s in a completely different time zone. So, I’ve been working—trying to get on their sleep schedule—because we’re working on some projects together that have really been beneficial for several of the companies that I work with.
So me trying to make sacrifices for someone else and other people, to make sure that things are going well…
Then you have someone come into your home and essentially say:
“Well I don’t really care what time you get up. I’m going to stay up and do whatever I want, and I’ll go to bed whenever I feel like it.”
That’s just not the attitude that I feel you should have if someone really cares about you and wants to make things happen for you and push you in a positive direction.
Their attitude wouldn’t be:
“Well I don’t care about you. I’m going to do me.”
What I’ve Learned on My Entrepreneurial Journey
That is one thing I started to figure out in my entrepreneurial journey:
The people who care about you—they’re willing to bend over backward and say,
“You know what? Even if that’s not what I want, I’m going to do it because I know that it will help you.”
That’s the kind of person you want behind you on your journey!
If that’s not the kind of people that you have around you, then you might want to think about:
- who your friends are
- as well as your employees
- co-workers, etc…

Don’t Let One Toxic Mindset Ruin the Whole Team
If those are not the people that you have on your team, and that’s not the mindset that they have, then it’s a very unhealthy mindset—and it’s toxic for the entire team. Because that bleeds onto another person, and then onto another person, until it infects everyone!
If someone else wants to be toxic, that’s fine, but it shouldn’t impact the rest of the team.
If you know that their actions are causing a negative effect—not just on themselves but on more than one person—obviously they have their own interest at heart.
