Part 2

Having Trouble Answering? Don’t think too hard. That’s often a mistake and leads to unwanted stress. Think of your passions, dreams, and goals. Let them be your guide in answering the questions. Ask a few very close people in your life to help guide your answers if you get stuck.

Studying Your Answers: It’s okay to take some good quality time to figure it out. Get as specific as you can. Yet, give yourself a few different gateways. Use Re-Evaluation periods every so often after your initial Evaluation. See where you’re consistent. It could be an indicator of where your voice should go.

Part 3

STEP ONE: Get selective here. Pick one; at most two areas that really stick out. Start defining your life-plan, business-plan, get-to-that-vacation-destination, etc, around that vision and voice.

STEP TWO: Go out and test your initial program. Again, take a few Re-Evaluation periods to see what is working, and what is not. Adjust what’s not working, make stronger what is.

RAISING THE ROOF Part 4

Part 4

STEP ONE Enlist your first circle (friends, family, business partners, etc) to help with the “daily tasks” so you can focus on your first efforts. Get yourself into a “game-on” style mind-set. Step two’s coming… NOW!

STEP TWO: GET YOURSELF OUT THERE. Try a blog, try YouTube, try a method of communication you’re comfortable with. Don’t be afraid to fail at first. After all, for every success there must be a lesson learned from it.

PAINTING YOUR HOUSE Part 5

Part 5

FINE DETAILS: Now that you have built a house, you need to add things. Think about the appearance. Is the color consistent with the style of house? Meaning, are you appearing like you want your vision to come across. Add that mailbox so people can get in touch with you. Decorate around your vision and your voice. Keep it appropriate to it. Keep it consistent.
