6. Live in your genius.
Find βThe Thingβ. Yβknow, The Thing you do SO well, SO beautifully, and SO naturally, it makes you shine like a light among your peers. Donβt be shy. Stop trying to censor yourself or be someone else.Β (Hint: Authenticity breeds Momentum)
What are you absolutely the best at? What do you love to do most? How does it make you feel? When you arrive at these answers, live in it. Donβt sell yourself (or your audience) short.
7. Understanding + empathy are the best marketing tactics out there.
To gain any momentum in your marketing, your audience needs to care. And it is your job to give them a reason to care.Β Itβs more than sending out messages, emails, newsletters, or posts. (Because you never know where those are going to land.)Β You have to define exactly why they should choose you, and why you should choose them.

I recently wrapped a 31-day sprint in Seth Godinβs altMBA program. I did it because I wanted to test my momentum muscles and I wanted to see if I could still βkeep upβ with the launching of new ideas.
I got so much more.
One of the concepts we tested was how we dealt with being willing to approach sales. Most of us donβt like the idea of selling. We avoid, whine, make excuses and then wonder, how come Iβm not making it in this business game?

The whole βEveryone can benefit from my products and servicesβ thing makes me SMH.
Youβre not Apple or Coca-Cola or Google. Β Iβm assuming, since youβre here, you donβt want to be, you want to be uniquely you and get the right people over to you. Β And you probably donβt have their multi-million dollar advertising budgets to throw at the masses either (if you do Iβm really happy youβre reading my blog, letβs definitely do dinner. Β 5-star. Β On your Amex Black Card).
All kidding aside, this is serious stuff because itβs one of the BIGGEST reasons you may not making the money your brand should be making.
