Sensing Commitment

People know when you’re committed.

And when they know it, there is inherent trust.

An acquaintance of mine started a newsletter on beer. In his first communication, he shared how long he would run the newsletter for. He also went right into the newsletter. No tease, just content right away. Beyond those two noticeable elements, it was still somehow clear he was all in.

There’s something about commitment that’s easily perceived when it’s real, partly consciously, partly subconsciously.

And just as there’s inherent trust and attention when it’s present; there’s skepticism and distance when it’s not.

If you’re not committed, it’s worth reconsidering the endeavor; not in the sense of not leaping, but in the sense of what it would take to exude your commitment.

Stay Positive & Own It
