You Must First Sell Yourself™
the key stepping stone in building your personal brand
"It wasn't until early 2008 when it hit me... I was doing it all wrong! You must be WILLING to step over the line and make the ultimate sacrifice in fixing the problems that hold you back from success. Before you can build your new business brand, You Must First Sell Yourself™"
There comes a point in a person's life when they realize that their talents are hidden behind the walls of their business or their bosses' business. Not being able to show the World the arsenal of expertise you have can be a very frustrating thing. That was me. For years I used my businesses to build the brands of businesses, first, not thinking about the individuals that make up the business. I was almost always behind in the dollar amounts I wanted to topple the previous year. I was always wondering, "am I going to get ahead? Will I be able to continuously do all the things I am capable of doing with the business ventures that I have?" Then it hit me... Everything I thought I was doing right, building my business brands, first, was all wrong. I thought to myself, "How are my business ventures ever going to reflect what I am capable of doing as an individual?" The answer.... They wouldn't, they weren't, and they still don't! You are here right this minute because I chose to fight all odds, risk bunches, and develop my personal brand to a point where my business brands now must follow my lead.
If you want to become successful, You Must First Sell Yourself™. I am not even saying love what you do and you will get there. Loving what you do should be a given when trying to find a happy, successful life. Conversely, there are plenty of rich, miserable bastards out there. You can be one of them too. I am not even saying putting your family first, either, as bad of a statement as that sounds. Without selling yourself, first, how are you really going to be the man or women that is the lifeline relationship your family and/or allies need you to be?
There are various toxic elements you can include into the mix that may defer you from your ultimate success. Things such as disinformation from mentors and coaches; procrastination; lack of resources or knowledge; bad location; dysfunctional family life or current surroundings; fear; lack of courage, morale, or motivation; a physical aliment or poor heath; sudden death in the family; debt; and the list can really just go on and on. You really must do your very best to avoid or solve these kinds of issues, either before or ever so graciously as you go.
The only real way to bring on the success and even differentiate yourself from even the very best, is by becoming the very best at what you do. This will truly determine the success and failure of you. Even if it means you must train like Rocky, you must do what it takes to execute on your ultimate plan.
I am still running with a log thrown over my shoulders every day. Read More...
