What is your elevator speech? You know that short paragraph or expressions that describes who you are and what you do.
Do you know who you are? Sometimes your inability to define who you are is not only a matter of not being up-to-date on your elevator speech, but it is a matter of understanding yourself.
Right now, I am asking you, “Who are you?” In our personal or professional lives we sometimes feel forced to be the person that someone else wants us to be. Worse yet we sometimes allow ourselves to become “invisible.” We become so introverted (introversion is not necessarily bad) that we fail to be noticed by others. Fear, pressure, and obedience represent at least three of the factors that may drive us into this place.
The good news is this, if you are truly determined to become successful you can break out of the mold or frame that you or others have placed upon you. Have courage to take your own path, forget about the pressure that someone else has placed on you; and obedience, well quite honestly that only brings one thought to my mind. Training a four legged furry creature we know as man’s best friend.
It is unlikely that someone else will make you successful, so only you can make YOU successful.
So I’m asking. Who are YOU?

Great question.
ReplyDeleteFor now, I'm a work in progress with the goal of leaving the world better for me having been here.
As an example, give us your elevator speech.
Thanks in advance.
Aren't we all a work in progress?
DeleteMy elevator speech varies but typically has a focus on stating what may benefit or interest them, it is not a focus on me or my qualities, it is about their agenda.
