Are you a “We Person” or a “Me Person”?

I define a Me Person as someone who is overly focused on their own needs, desires, and advantages—often showing little consideration or empathy for others’ well-being. Me People tend to take more than they give in relationships and expect things to go their way without compromise.
If you recognize yourself as a Me Person, I encourage you to keep reading and learn what We People do to support others. This mindset is also why I struggle with many world leaders today—too many care only about themselves instead of working to share prosperity with those who need it most.
This week, my focus is on how We People can help others in business, and next week I’ll explore how we can help others on a personal level.
Whether you are an engaged customer, a valued employee or partner, or an active community member, here are some “We” actions that can help Canadian businesses flourish in 2026. If you have additional ideas on how we can better support businesses across Canada, please share them in the comments.
As a Customer
Offer constructive feedback: Share helpful insights through reviews, surveys, or direct communication to support continuous improvement.
Show loyalty and refer others: Support businesses through repeat purchases and authentic referrals within your network.
As an Employee or Partner
Build a strong culture: Encourage open communication, recognition, and collaboration.
Seek partnerships: Collaborate with complementary businesses or experts to expand impact and reach.
As a Community Member
Support local initiatives: Engage with local businesses, chambers, and community events to strengthen local growth.
Advocate for business-friendly policies: Support initiatives that improve access to capital and essential infrastructure.
Next week’s blog will be on how We can personally help others.
