5 Tips to Step Boldly into the World & Set Yourself Apart from Others

"Real champions believe in themselves even when no one else will!" Author Unknown

To take your life and business to a level that makes you ecstatic there is a good chance you will need to step boldly into the world and stand distinctively apart from others. Here are 5 tips to support you to embrace the unknown in a big way and maximize your results.

Fully Express Your Self~ Concern for what others will think often results in presenting "a diluted version of ourselves to the world" says the leader of the Think Big Revolution, Michael Port (http://www.MichaelPort.com ). When you fully express your authentic self without fear of the result you take more risks and show up as confident, unique, and intriguing.

Fully Express Your Passion~ We tend to bury our passions under responsibilities with the underlying notion that our day will come. The clock is ticking! What are you willing to stand up for? What difference do you want to make thru the work you do on a daily basis? What gets you juiced? Fully express your passions and you will enthusiastically show up in a big way.

Boldly Take Action Daily on What Matters~ I wonder how much time is spent daily on stuff that doesn't make a difference. What if you made a commitment to yourself right now to spend time daily taking action and becoming 100% absorbed in activities that make a positive impact on others, your business, and your life. How would that make your life different from today?

Leverage Your Connections~ No one has made it to the top alone. Your connections are unique to you. No one has the same network as you. We all learn and grow from these connections. When we create win/win relationships and connect by sharing information, resources, and connections we grow together. When you develop and leverage these assets within your network you create a tool to set yourself apart from others.

Step out in Faith~ Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said, "Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step." We restrain ourselves by not trusting in ourselves, our cause, or our capabilities. We want to be "right" so badly that we postpone action. We learn and get better by playing the game, and making errors. Have faith that you have all you need in this abundant world to make a big difference. The world is your playground?. explore? discover? have fun? and trust your intuition.

Take Action Challenge:

What change will you make in order to fully express your authentic self in a big way?

What passion are you burying that you will unleash daily?

What change will you make to your schedule so you become 100% absorbed in actions that make a positive difference every day?

What relationship will you develop into a winning partnership?

Where will you step out in faith trusting that you are equipped to handle whatever shows up?

What I want for you is to confidently stand in all that you are on a daily basis knowing you have treasures to share, and the world will not suffer for the lack of it. Step up to a higher level of integrity and bold, conscious living?. Starting Now!
