What does this mean for you?
Now is the best time to move, to act, to change.
Now is the best time to prove that you don’t have to be defined by what you’ve done but instead by what you’re yet to accomplish.
Now is the best time to prove that not only must the show go on, but that you’re exactly the right person to make that happen.
Less than 10 years ago the key to selling yourself was to promote how great you were. If you didn’t blow your horn, who would? And unless you could afford a robust advertising campaign, selling yourself was the only way anyone could learn about you.
Today everything’s changed. Today we each carry a thin wafer of silicon and glass that gives us immediate access to all the world’s knowledge. And all of your potential clients and customers have access to this same technology. This means they can know everything about you before they even step into your business.
Success today requires you to turn the lens around and focus relentlessly on your customer.
