Are You REALLY You or a Knock-off?

“Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.”~Judy Garland

Are you a first rate version of yourself or are you a second rate version of someone else? Really, think about it! My feeling is that we start out as trying to imitate someone (a second rate version) and sometimes we break away from that, but sometimes we are stuck in it because we are never able to be as good as the original. What do you think?

While it's good to have role models and people that we can follow, it's imperative that we become who we were meant to be. To bring our unique gift to the world, for the world will never see it unless we each bring it. Too many people have shrunk from who they could have been and are just living to survive or until their "ship comes in." Guess what? That ship is never coming. It's never too late to be who you were meant to be.

Terry Josephson said “Stop thinking in terms of limitations and start thinking in terms of possibilities” That's the challenge for us today and from now on. Think in terms of YOUR possibilities! Wow, do you see how empowering that is? Your possibilities are limitless! You do realize that, don't you?  

Do you think in terms of possibilities or limitations when you tell stories to your clients or are you simply reciting boring facts trying to get them to buy from you?  Join us Friday at "Story Telling for Sales and Success" and learn the secret to putting your prospect into a "buying trance."  Stories are the secret.  Learn to tell stories like Hollywood (there is a formula!) http://mkt.com/mentoring-your-success-2/story-telling-for-success-and-sales

To Be Yourself...Is The Greatest Accomplishment!

Day #2 of Ralph Waldo Emerson Week
“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Are you really yourself? Really? Or are you playing a role that someone else has decided for you? The world around you is constantly trying to make you something other than who you are. How do you deal with that?  Or do you just go one playing that role?

What makes you different, or do you try to fit in and NOT stand out? We've always been told to be like everybody else, fit in, don't be different, don't be unique. What a crock! You were created to be unique...Live that uniqueness. Don't back away from it, revel in it.

“Insist on yourself; never imitate. Be original” As much as we like to think of America as a land of individuals, we don't often enough insist on being ourselves. We imitate others, we fit in, we don't rock the boat.

Today, STAND OUT!! When given an opportunity to be yourself, DO IT! And watch the difference it makes

Know. Be Known. Make A Difference!
