Be YOU - everyone else is taken
Be you – Everyone else is taken (see the footnote to discover why I did not attribute it)
What matters is that when we are ourselves we draw the right people to us, We draw the people who love what we do, the way we communicate and the value we have to offer and people want to enjoy the benefits that provides.
It can be a scary thing to do at first, so this post comes as an encouragement, especially in these interesting times. Keep being you, keep sharing who you are – what you do to add value and how you do it.
Clearly, it’s important to know that people have a need for what it is you do, and once you know that – just go out and be who you are. Trying to be someone else is really hard work, I know I have been there.
If you want to unpack more on this subject – I would love to have a chat and see how I might be able to help you share “you” with the world in all your glory.
You may think Oscar Wilde is the first to use the quote but the small amount of research I did suggests this may not be the case. It matters not…
