Great pointers Kim! It's like the universe sometimes tests us to see how bad we want something, and only when we've focused consistently do we get it!

Kim - Great post! I'd just like to add on your comment above to Rex where you stated:

"when you are who you truly are you have a much better chance at drawing to yourself the perfect associate &/or client."

This same concept applies to your career. When you are true to your passions and abilities you have a better chance at drawing to yourself the perfect career. When you try to fit yourself into a job that you think is more socially acceptable or that your parents imagined for you you will not be as successful.

Rex- On one hand I don't know that we have much control over how we stand out. I point people to look at their intention: Are you being desperate or pushy? I believe if we ask ourselves these questions we can stay on course. You want to be authentic at all times -that's the main thing. Keep in mind that who you are - might not be everyone's cup of tea. But everyone isn't meant to be your client or associate. I believe that when you are who you truly are you have a much better chance at drawing to yourself the perfect associate &/or client.

Kim, I really enjoyed your insight. As far as your comment on standing out, one wants to make sure they stand out in a positive way. How do you make sure that your standing out is remembered positively instead of as desperate, annoying, or worse? Do you just put yourself out there and react based on response and tone it down if necessary?

Kim,

Great post! I cannot begin to tell you how excited I was to see you on Keith’s blog. I am not sure if you remember me but, like Keith, I looked you up online after hearing about you on CNN.

After reading “Who’s Got Your Back,” I acquired the courage to approach those who were wildly successful in a field that I had interest in. Immediately executing two of the four mindsets, vulnerability & candor, I telephoned your office and explained to you a challenge I was facing. You spent about 30 minutes with me on the telephone (at no charge) and provided me with some of the same wisdom that you posted today. The result? I am now passionately providing sales leaders with the coaching skills necessary to connect more intimately to their teams as well as their customers. The feedback has been fantastic!

Keith is right when he says that most people are generous and want to see you succeed in life. Thank you for being a role model for us all. Should you ever find yourself in Atlanta on Peachtree Street, please let me know so that I may come out and give you a big hug like you do the folks in NYC. Before I close my post, let me ask you Kim …. How can I help you out?

Livia: Great question. Where that line is drawn is unique to each of us and our situation. Of course one can go too far. This is when I recommend listening to your own instinct for direction. Actually tuning in to your body's response. (Some feel it in there stomach/gut.) Be still and quiet prior to your asking the question, "Is this too much?" Feeeel the answer. It takes time for us to learn how to "feel" what our best course of action is since most of our conditioning has been to "think" our answers. I've found it remarkable that my body more often than not seems to have remarkable wisdom. If I'm able to quiet some of my thinking long enough to hear it. Additionally having a trusted friend or mentor to run it past for a different point of view also helps us to asess what "too far" or "too much" might be. Let me know if this answers your question.
