I’m Back by Popular Demand….

Haha….that was my favorite t-shirt when I was like 8. Sadly, I’m not sure I was that popular when I was 8, but I guess since I thought I was it really didn’t make a difference! That is called the “power of perception”. I was skinny, nerdy, (the not-very-smart nerdy even), short and I had crooked teeth. For some reason, I thought I was popular, and I wore that t-shirt around like I expected people to say “hey…there’s that popular kid!”

Perception…it’s a funny thing. It can be your best friend or your worst enemy. If you perceive yourself as successful and helpful, you really don’t care what other people perceive you as, now do you? However, when other perceive you as destructive, and you DON’T….that can be a problem. So I guess the tip of the month (yea…ok, maybe 6 months…I’ve been slacking…I know), are two things. First, you SHOULD perceive yourself as a successful, charming, handsome and witty because you smile A LOT more if you do! Second, ask a few people you trust and admire some for some serious feedback on your best and worst attributes. Maybe they can provide some insight to things you do well (which you may or may not know) and things you don’t do so well (which can provide for some improvement).

So just take a little time this week to ask some people about their perceptions of you…..so maybe you can find some hidden weakness that you can easily correct. It’s like finding money in the dryer…..makes you all warm and fuzzy inside.

Oh yea….and go make 3 exposures a day for a week…..see what happens to your Team Beachbody Business!
