How To Stand Out From 450,000 Other Women…
Do You!!
Nobody does you, like you do you. You are unique. You are a special snowflake. You don’t need to compete with anyone. The goals that you set are yours alone and they only cause you to reflect on the next steps, not on what anyone else is doing.
Be free to enjoy yourself. Love the skin you are in. Have confidence. You are the best you that anyone has ever seen. Embrace yourself. You are one of a kind.
I am awesome at being me. How about you? What are you excellent at?
Tell Stories
People can have opinions. They can negate your “facts.” For every survey or study that proves that right is right, there are 15 more factual papers that prove that your right is wrong. There is only one thing that can not be disputed and that is your experiences. Tell great stories because even when we disagree, we can’t help but be charmed by the yarn. The world falls in love with tall tales and fascinating characters from remote lands. Use the hero’s journey and draw us in.
Did you hear the one about the broke, single mom who became the Queen of networking. That is my story. I look forward to telling it to you one day.
Master Your Mind
The road to greatness is only six inches long. It is the distance between our ears. What should we fill it with?
Over the years I have had the pleasure of reading many wonderful books. I am a self-help junkie and I drink business books by the truckload. Having knowledge and having a place to practice that knowledge has given me a lot of confidence, and confidence is a great thing to have if you want to stand out.
I have also learned that becoming a mastermind happens when we do some mastermind brainstorming with people who are smarter than we are. I have been surrounding myself with incredibly bright people for decades. It has been a long time since I had an original thought. I grew most of my fabulous ideas out of the books, courses, and minds that I soaked myself in. Perhaps we will get to do some thinking together at some point and figure out a way to take over the world, or at least your corner of it.
Focus On Your Strengths
I have found there are a lot of things I am not good at. How about you? Did you ever make a list? Yikes! That is pretty discouraging. I learned something along the way, and that is to stop trying to get better at things that I seem to naturally suck at. I am no good at bookkeeping and I think that cooking and cleaning are two cities in China. Fortunately for me, I am outstanding at networking, masterminds, and business strategy. Cooks and cleaners can be hired when you find the thing you excel at and do them with all of your might.
When you focus on your strengths you will find as I mentioned in the beginning that there is nobody in the world who is quite like you. Become the you, that you know lives inside of you, and then you can command the price that you want for your services.
For an additional bonus – you will stand out in any group, even one that is 450,000 strong.
