In my recent survey of those on my mailing list,  I asked:  “What problems/challenges do you face?”

The clear number one answer took me by surprise. 

#1: Being most effective in using my true gifts

 Wow! Imagine if we could solve that problem? What creative and life-giving energy might be released?  Do you believe that can be solved? 

I do! 

And if you’re directly in sales, marketing, building a business or seeking to, this issue is not a “nice to have.” It’s crucial! 

Two questions that often arise: 

1. “Am I selling or sharing the right thing?” 

2. “Am I using my best gifts to market, sell or share my services, products or opportunities?”

Well: Would you want to know? (or pass this on to a spouse, friend or co-worker?)

Here’s a checklist to answer: Am I using my best gifts to market, sell or share my services, products or opportunities? 

Answer “YES” or “NO” to each.   

• 1. I don’t feel a need to perform or act when someone asks me “What do you do?” (Yes/No) 

• 2. I gain energy when I share my work, services or product with others.  (Yes/No)

• 3. I get excited when I can share my work, services or product with others. (Yes/No)

• 4. I don’t feel nervous or anxious when I share my work, services or product with others. (Yes/No)

• 5. Others recommend me regularly to those who have need for my work, services or products.  (Yes/No)

• 6. I am confident I add superior value to others when they say “yes” to my work, services or product. (Yes/No)

• 7. I know what real needs my work, services or product meet for others.  (Yes/No)

• 8. I would certainly purchase my own work, services or product (or have done so!)  (Yes/No)

• 9. I rarely feel weary from sharing my work, services or product with others.  (Yes/No)

• 10. I would want others to join me in selling, marketing or sharing my work, services or product. (Yes/No) 

If you’re in the zone, you should have scored a 10/10 of “Yeses.”   If so, you’re in the zone! You will succeed, at least in time! You’re made for this! 

If you’re not, what adjustment can help you get to a 10/10?

Don’t settle!  A fully alive you at work is worth making the change if necessary! 

Or, what coach is passionate to help you become a 10/10 and believes anything less is a waste of you?  : )   Get in touch with him! 

Life’s too short to sell, market and share the stuff that’s not meant for you! Do you agree? 

Let me know what you think!
