Okay before we talk about time vampires Let's talk about their motives. What is it about these people? Well, here's the truth about those people They don't want to work and since they don't want to work They don't want you to work They want to just talk and then talk and talk and they want to take up your time and in doing so They rob you of your time. Now, let's talk a little bit about why they do these things Here's the thing I also found guys is they normally want to talk about themselves Which nothing could be more boring than hearing somebody talk about themselves So let's check this out. Number one, they may not have enough to fill their day Now this is a bad thing an employer may not give somebody enough stuff to do But there's two types of people when they run out of work the first type of person when they run out of work Become time vampires. They've gotten their work done. They don't care about anybody else They don't care about anybody else's productivity So they just want to walk around and talk to everybody and rob them of their time and this can be true in a workplace This can be true when you own a business other business owners can do this to you But bottom line is they just don't want to do any extra work The other type of person that runs out of work is going to go around and look for more work to do What can I do? How can I add to my company's value? What's something more I can do to improve this business now? That person never becomes a time vampire because they're always looking for more work Number two is they just don't care anymore, you know, maybe they put in their time Maybe they don't like the company. They're working for you know Maybe they're angry at their boss or that particular business and they just don't care They've already checked out so instead of leaving and going getting another job or helping other people out or being beneficial They're gonna go tear everybody else down. They're gonna tell everybody how bad it is around the workplace They're gonna tell everybody how bad the economy is they're gonna let everybody know how this president's no good And Congress hasn't done this and the interest rates are that and gasoline prices are too high And they're gonna continue to suck the life out of you number three They want to let you know how important they are. Okay, they're gonna come around They're gonna tell you all the things that they've done all the things that they've contributed all the people They've helped and just bore the crap out of you basically They want to go around and talk to people about everything they've done so that they can feel important about themselves now There's always backfires to them because everybody knows they're doing it, but in their mind it makes them more important number four They're big procrastinators. So maybe they mean to do stuff Maybe they mean to get stuff done, but they don't and since they don't they go around they talk to everybody else They call everybody else they text everybody else they email everybody else and they take that Procrastination that they have and they spread it throughout the entire company and maybe your company So you got to really be careful when you see this going on number five. They're lonesome You know, maybe these people on their jobs in their businesses when they go home at the end of the day They have nobody to talk to they have nobody to converse with they have no friends They have no family or they have friends and family they don't want to talk to them Bottom line is they're looking for somebody to lean on somebody to talk to if they're just gonna suck up your time and Ruin your effort. Now. I've seen time vampires that have one or sometimes all five of these Characteristics, but bottom line is you can get rid of them. There's things you could do. Let's talk about that right now Number one don't become a target and here's what I mean by that These people are always looking for new blood because they probably burn out a lot of other people that don't want to Hear them anymore. They're always trying to find somebody to complain to somebody they can email somebody they can text when they find that person It's a problem. Okay, because you're stuck with them. Don't interact and here's what I mean If they're in your office, don't make eye contact, okay? If they text you don't immediately text back if they post on one of your posts on Facebook Don't immediately respond to that if they email you don't immediately email them back It's a matter of fact You don't have to respond at all if you don't want a lot of people think well I sent you an email and you didn't reply and The truth is I don't have to reply if I don't want because you don't control my time and just because you sent me an email Just because you sent me a text just because you left me a voicemail doesn't mean I have to reply That is you saying that you're going to control my time I just won't allow that number two be honest I know this is a tough one right to actually tell somebody you don't have time for them But if that's the case then let them know You know if somebody comes up to you and they're trying to talk to you They're sending you emails or they say I'm gonna call you right now via text I got that today and some of that didn't try to get in touch with for a long time So well, I'm gonna call you right now. So well not now. I'm busy right now I'm busy you can't control when I'm gonna talk to you So you've got to be honest sometimes and say I can't I can't let you do that right now If they walk up to you and they start complaining and talking or asking questions say look I would love to chat at some point with you now. It's not a good time I've got a lot of stuff. I gotta get done number three take a subtle approach now If somebody comes up to you and starts talking and they want to talk and you don't have time for it You just don't want to tell them you don't have time for it You could just break eye contact look in another direction look down look off to the side go back to your keyboard start typing If they see that you're not interested in what they have to say Eventually a lot of these people will go away now this approach is not as effective. It's just outright telling them I don't have time for this right now I really like you'd love to chat at some other point But right now I'm just too busy to do this and I'm too busy to listen right now. I can't get this work done I'm sure you'll understand and I like to end that with I'm sure you'll understand or I know you understand And that kind of puts it back on them number four phone a friend. What does that mean? Well, a lot of time vampires will eat up your time and want to complain and argue and Talk all this negative stuff, but they know that approaching you in that manner may not be the best route So what they do is they do the phone a friend thing. They say hey, I need help with this project I've got a question about this thing We're working on together and they will use that to start the conversation And then slowly that conversation will slide into when they went to the game the last weekend or how their wife is Bugging them or how the kids are acting up or whatever and as soon as they get off track You've got to say did we complete our conversation about this job because I got to get other stuff I got to get back to so let them know as soon as they get off track from actually working on work That you need to get back to your work and they'll pretty much get the hint number five is the nuclear option The nuclear option is when somebody has just bothered you too many times They've sent you too many emails too many phone calls too many text messages. You just got to tell them Say, you know, I'm really busy at this point I don't really have time to talk to you now or in the future. I'm just too tied up now This is a little bit more of a harsh approach But if you've had no success using the other things you kind of got to do this and some people you just have to cut out of your Life and not worry if they like you or not anymore because if they're robbing you of your valuable time to get things accomplished Then you need to get rid of now It would be nice if you didn't have to use that option It really would and if you notice that that is the last choice option I gave you but sometimes you have to do that you certain people in your life You got to cut out and I know certain family members You're gonna have to be around at certain times maybe holidays and all that but certainly you choose your friends and When you choose your friend your your net worth is going to be about the average of the you know Four or five closest people you know So if everybody you know is making less money than you and achieving less than you you kind of got to you know Work your way up a little bit. You got to find some different friends You got to find people that are gonna motivate you to do things that are positive that are making good things happen in the World instead of being negative.
