All It Can Handle

All You Have To Give

We know you have more to give. More magic, passion and cleverness.

There tends to be two options when you feel like you want to make a greater impact at work.

Either you leave to start something new or you find a way to assign yourself a new project at your current work that can handle all that you have to give.

You don’t always need to quit and start something new, but you can’t expect others to offer you the chance to give something your all.

What’s On The Menu

Find Your What

It’s an on demand world out there, but it doesn’t need to be.

Although it’s far easier to order off the menu, is easier the point?

Far more fun (and often more successful) to make your own menu.

Craft work that’s never done before, give more than ever has been offered, provide more value than what can be described in a couple short sentences.

Far better to create your “what” and find a “how” than it is to offer what you already know how to.

It’s A Person

It's A Person

Behind every action is a person. Every comment is a person. Every sale is a person.

Especially, email. Behind every email is a person.

Not a robot, regardless if it’s an automated response.

Nor a void, even if the email goes unanswered.

It’s a person.

And when you remember it’s a person, a fellow human being, a brother of sorts, it changes your posture, how you talk, how you give and ask and interact.

For the better, too.

Being Rewarded

Being Rewarded

I once had a manager tell me, “You will see your pay grow once you do.”

Instead of being upset, I laughed. It was too good of a line and all too accurate.

Those who get noticed and get rewarded are those who show up every day, consistently better than the day before (or at least trying to work toward being better every day).

Think about all the brands and influencers you know.

No doubt every single one of them keeps showing up, keeps growing and keeps diversifying themselves to be in more places (and to be more rewarded).

You might make it sticking to one platform, but you’re not going to make it BIG.

(Of course, it’s worth remembering what your goal is. Big doesn’t always equate to meaningful.)

Forced Breath Control

Your Breath

If you’re like me, then you know there’s a lot of power in breath.

Maybe you read some posts about it or watched a Ted talk. Maybe you were raised with parents who taught you to take a breath every time you got flustered or maybe you’re a musical artist who relies on breath as your source of energy.

However you use it know that you can use it in a hundred other ways.

Breath isn’t just for a long rap sequence, it’s also for instilling confidence prior to a presentation.

Here’s the one thing about breath that no one told me.

Even when you force breath, when you actively try to control it, it still benefits you. It’s not like gravity in that the more you try to control it, the more it controls you.

All Or Nothing

Giving It Your All

Maximize sales volumes of highly desired products.

Promote specific brands predicated on area demographics.

Match and quickly surpass the competition.

Establish retail/wholesale relationships.

Provide customer satisfaction.

Formulate community goodwill.

Ensure all activities are profitable for the company.

It’s an all or nothing world for brands. And the ones that stand out the most doing it all – and then at least one other thing exceptionally well – will continue to rule.

Gone are the days a brand can stand on a single pillar.

Confidence Is Comfort

Maintaining Confidence

Having confidence isn’t just comforting to you.

When you’re confident, even under pressure or failure, others feel comfortable in your confidence.

The moment you stumble and let your confidence flee, others begin to feel embarrassed for you.

Unique thing, to feel something for someone else even when it’s not you.

But we do it.

It’s why we feel happy when a friend wins a lottery or enters a new relationship. It’s why we feel motivated when someone starts a slow clap and why the best way to wake up in the morning is to be woken up by someone who loves mornings.

If you’re not going to fake it so you make it, at least fake it so others can.
