BUILDING YOUR BRAND
That is why it is so important to get results so you can jump-start your brand. The more results you have, the easier it is to brand yourself. People respond to results. They want to know the person they are following has some results.
Building your brand will take time. Most people get impatient, lose faith and drop off. Be in it for the long haul to see your life change. Begin that change with the following 3 steps:
1. Totally Change Your Life
Every person reading this has the potential to make it BIG. You either go after that potential or shrink away from it and go back to the life you are comfortable with. It doesn't matter where you are in the journey, everyone has that choice.
2. Create Small Habits Every Single Day
It's the little things you do every single day that will set you up for success.
At first, you might not see a difference, but keep working on them. It may be something as small as working on your personal development or doing something uncomfortable every day for your business. This will be different for everyone. Whether it's picking up the phone, doing a video or writing a blog post - the more often you make it part of your routine, the farther along you will be.
A funny thing when you look at the curve of success and failure is the curve overlaps for about 75% of your journey. So stay the course and continue to build your brand.
3. Join A Community
You don't want to do this alone. Surround yourself with a community of people who will support you and cheer for you along the way.
Why doesn't everyone do these 3 small steps? Because they are easy to do and easy NOT to do!
For example, have you ever started an exercise program and make a decision to work out 5 days a week. You don't see results in the first couple days, but you keep at it. In a few more days, something comes up that will test you and you have a decision to make!
You can keep going or take a break. Many people will take a break - not seeing much in the way of results and say they are going to not do it today - maybe tomorrow. These become choices you make not only in your exercise program but every area of your life that requires discipline.
When it seems like results are invisible and small actions don't matter, that is when the tiniest of choices done every day will make all the difference in time. Sometimes you need to go slow to build fast. Add more positive than negative actions and keep pushing yourself forward.
All of a sudden, it takes off. There really are no shortcuts. In every business, you see a person who seems to come out of nowhere and rises quickly to the top. You may be wondering where they came from, but remember that every person and every success story has a back story. The steps they took to get them to that point.
Don't sit back and wait for the miracle - BE THE MIRACLE!
