Never underestimate the power of preparation. When you give yourself the ability to craft your message and practice your delivery, you give yourself the GIFT of being ready. Ready for that casual introduction to a game-changing client. Ready to wow an audience of investors. Ready to impress your future partner. Opportunities happen all the time and when you have your pitch in your back pocket, you welcome every chance to connect. Here are my top 9 tips to set you up for success.
Take a moment right now and take action. Reflect on the moments in life when you shared your enthusiasm for something (or someone) effortlessly. What did you say? How did you sound? How did you feel? What impact did it have on the person you were speaking to? Write it down now.
Many years ago I came across a quote by Marianne Williamson that literally blew my mind. I have turned to those words hundreds of times for inspiration and energy when I was feeling even the slightest bit dejected. We all need a boost now and then. What quote inspires YOU? Take a moment and write it down, both for yourself, and in the comments below. Maybe your words will inspire US!
I like to keep words of inspiration on hand to give me a boost from time to time. If you have not already, I encourage you to write your chosen quote on the worksheet provided as well as keeping it posted by your desk, in your car, or next to your bed. I would love to know... how do quotes inspire YOU? Please leave your comments below!
We all have fears. They may be physical, mental or emotional, but sometimes we simply need to name them to bring them to the light of reality. Once you bring them out from the shadows, they are much smaller than you imagine them to be! What fears are you ready to overcome? Let us know! The more you reveal, the faster they crumble.
In this exercise you will list the ten top fears you have about promoting yourself and your business. Once you have all ten, chose ONE and then decide to take positive action. Are you afraid to have all eyes on you? Then find a comfortable place and time (perhaps with your family at dinner) and interrupt the conversation with an announcement. Decide in advance what you would like to share and then do it with EASE. In order to overcome the fear, you must take small steps. You will be amazed at how quickly your fears fade!
You never know when you have made a difference in someone else's life, but your actions DO matter. It's just rare that we hear how MUCH impact we have had on another person. If you are so inspired, please write about who has had a profound impact on YOU in the comments below. When you acknowledge someone's efforts, we all win.
It's time to take credit for your good work. Please take a moment and write down all the positive feedback you have received about yourself and your work. If you have not received enough, then by all means write down the compliments you SHOULD HAVE received. You deserve it! Then, please share your best compliment in the comments below. Applause!
Now we are going to go a bit deeper... WHY do you love what you do? In order for you to ignite other people's interest, you need to connect to the REASON you are so lit up about it yourself. This simple connection is the fuel for your light. Connect to it and you will inspire everyone you meet!
Have fun with this exercise... While it may be tempting to write the most obvious answer, challenge yourself to write non-stop for 15 minutes. This stream-of-consciousness writing will help you discover new reasons you had not yet considered. After you are finished, please share what new discoveries you made in the comments below. Thanks!
Did you know that our thoughts create our feelings? It's true! So... when we have a positive thought, we create positive feelings. Conversely, a negative thought ("I can't stand talking about myself") can lead to a negative feeling ("I feel horrible when I have to meet new people"). In this chapter I will show you the true power of positive thoughts! Enjoy...
Now that you have watched the interview, use the following notes to try it with a partner. Remember, this is not a contest of strength. You are calibrating your energy with another person so you get a true "yes" and a true "no". Once you get comfortable with the technique, there are so many ways to use it in your life. If you have any questions, please let me know! If you would like to watch a free 10 video series about the technique, then go to: http://www.udemy.com/energy-muscle-testing/
It's confession time. We all have stories we tell ourselves, about ourselves. You might say, "I get completely tongue-tied meeting new people or I am a horrible self-promoter", but now that we know that negative thoughts weaken us, we need to examine the limiting beliefs that are holding us back. It's time to come clean, so you can have a fresh start!
Take action now. What is your story? What have you been habitually expressing about yourself mistaking it for WHO YOU ARE? Write down everything you may have said or felt about yourself now. If you care to share, please do. You will soon be shedding these limiting beliefs! I've attached the complete workbook in this lecture. Please feel free to print it and complete each exercise as suggested!
Now it's time to take action. Identify where you have had limited beliefs about yourself as a communicator. Once you have identified them, then take a moment to write the OPPOSITE statement. Transform the negative into the positive. Then, identify your new positive statement about yourself as a communicator. Finally, re-train your mind by posting this statement everywhere. When you glance at it, you are creating a new imprint. When you change your thought, you change your feeling. In two weeks, you will FEEL more confident in all your speaking opportunities. Do it now.
Opportunities to connect are EVERYWHERE. When you challenge yourself to seek new people to talk to, you are planting seeds of opportunity for yourself and your business. Take a moment and identify places that you already frequent (coffee shops, the gym, grocery stores) where you can strike up a conversation. Have any ideas to share? Please leave a comment and inspire our community with your suggestions. Thanks!
Try and list at least 10 locations where you can reach out to new people. This exercise alone will open your eyes to the possibilities that are all around you. If you are hard pressed to come up with ten, then by all means, get out and visit new places. The opportunities are EVERYWHERE.
If you want the key to relaxation, all you need to remember is to breathe. If you find your heart thumping, your mind racing and your palms beginning to sweat.... Pause and take a deep breath. When you do, you will calm down, get focused and ground yourself in the present moment. Try it for yourself!
At the end of the day, you cannot control what other people do. You can only be responsible for your part of the experience. If you can learn to not take things personally and let go of your desire to have a particular result, you will be happier. This I know to be true. Put your best foot forward, and then pat yourself on the back. Onward and upward!
