Be Your Own Superhero!

 

Be Your Own Superhero!

Don’t we all wish we had superhero powers? Even so, we can guide our life in the direction we want to go. In the end, the direction of our life, is up to each one of us. Each one of us can be a winner, in our own life and it’s a fairly simple process.

First, what is it, that differentiates winners from losers?

Two words: Consistency and discipline! It’s that simple.

Be consistent in your endeavours, whatever they may be. If you’re building a brand, be consistent with your posts, emails and product distribution, as this helps your buyer know you’re reliable. 

Be consistent with your style, if you’re a writer, so the reader knows what to expect. Be consistent with who you are, then your customers can trust what you have to say. 

Integrity is a huge part of whether you can be trusted or not. If you don’t have trust with your customer, if that’s not showing up in any area of your work, the customer can tell. Your customers are smart. They can discern how honest you’re being.

This “fake it ‘til you make it” phrase, doesn’t wash with the customer.  They want (and deserve) your honesty. 

Determine your priorities and focus on them - quote by Author Eileen McDargh

Your customer will have empathy with you, through your struggles. Sure, you don’t need your customer to know everything about you, but show them you’re real. 

Show them your blunders, failures and triumphs, but not everything. Remember your clients have their own issues to deal with, they don’t need to know all of yours as well. Keep it simple, keep it real, but don’t show all your cards.

The reader wants to laugh at what you laugh at. If it’s funny (although it’s not funny, if it’s at the expense of another), write it in. If it makes you cry, write it in. Make yourself human, with all your foibles and faults and the reader will enjoy what you share with them.

People are curious beings. They want to know how others think and feel. They want to empathise, cry and laugh with you, through all your trails. It makes you more real to them. Don’t be cold and distant. If you’ve done something right, tell people. Your patrons will applaud with you. 

In life we have success’s and failures. Failure isn’t the end. Failure has taught you, one way not to do it. Try another way. If, however, you’ve succeeded at something, let the world know. We all love to hear uplifting stories. 

Have enough courage to start and enough heart to finish – quote by Author Jessica N.S. Yourko

Being consistent is important and the other area, which differentiates winners from losers, is discipline. Discipline is more important that motivation. Motivation wanes and when it does, often we stop what we should be doing. Discipline is doing the little steps every day, until you reach the end, whether you feel motivated or not.

Discipline then comes full circle, back to consistency. Being consistent. Doing those little things every day, even when you don’t feel like it. Lifting your game, doing the hard yards and not stopping, until you see the desired result. Doing it even though at first, you may not see any results, but doing it anyway. 

If you want to be a winner, do what a winner does. Write your goal. Discipline yourself and become consistent, in any area you feel you’d like to improve. Work at it, even when you don’t feel like it and you will be the winner in your life.

You will be your own superhero!
