There is an old saying that when two people meet for the first time, that there is really six beings in the room.
I am going to break this down a little here.
From each person comes three beings, one is the being standing there, one is the way the person sees themselves, and the last is the way they want to be seen.
It may sound funny in a way but, when broken down it is true.
The person standing there is technically the one everyone meets and interacts with.
Thus being said, the other two pretty much hold you back, reason being, if you cannot bring all of them together to form the same mental picture, you will be going in three different directions.
The real question in all of this is "how do I get them to all go in the same direction?" It is called learning, trying, and adapting.
There are many ways that you can learn what you are trying to accomplish.
Believe me, you are not the only one out there who is trying to or have already achieved that goal.
Just some basic research can spark something in your mind that you did not even know was there.
There are many ways to obtain this info, internet, social media, books, but the best resource is other people.
You can find a way to connect with people i.
e.
: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.
Even doing a simple Google search will result in many ways you can get the information you are seeking out.
Once you obtain all the information you think you need, you need to start focusing on how to use it.
This is also a good time to use Google, reason being, there are many different ways you can put yourself out there with the knowledge you obtained.
This is where the trying part comes into play.
What I mean by that is simply, what works for one person may not work for another person.
For instance, my biz partner is very comfortable in front of a camera, talking and what have you but, I am not good with doing a scripted type of thing.
After trying many different ways to make something stick, from cue cards to doing take after take, we seen that if we do these videos without writing everything we are going to go over and just run with it on camera; we have an easier time making the information videos we make.
The thing is, we had to try many different ways to get to where we are now.
Once you find a way to do whatever you want to keep moving forward, stay with it.
You cannot give up if something does not work.
Now the last thing you need to understand is that you have to be adaptable.
Remember something that works for you might not work for the other person you are meeting with.
You have to be able to adapt to the situation at hand.
Just think of how many things you tried before you got to where you are now.
If you plan on working with other people, you need to be able to adapt.
When you start to work with other people, you will start the process over again but, it will be much easier.
The reason for this is that you will learn from each other.
Your team will be working together to move forward.
Now once you are able to do this, you will be able to move in one direction: forward.
When you meet someone, you will not be three beings, you will be one.
This is because you will already know how to accomplish what you are trying to do.
Thus being said, you will still have the two other beings with you but, they are going to be the same being as the main one standing there, YOU.
You will not be moving in three different directions.
You will move in the same direction because you will be in tune.
Thank you very much.
Enjoy.
