Be who you are not what you think people want you to be.
It’s a shame that many people are fake. There… I’ve said it, but it’s true. It needs to be said. I’m sure you see it all the time.
There are too many people who pretend to be something they are not. I’m not talking about being confident or similar, I’m talking about not being true to yourself and there’s a HUGE difference!
It’s ok to be confident, and it’s ok to talk at the same level as the person (and be true to yourself) but I have a real issue with fake people, that includes those who pretend, lie, or even morph into people that is just not them.
From a business perspective, being true to you will build longer and more meaningful relationships as people want YOU and not the fake YOU.
Same with vendors or Landlords. Be YOU, no one is better at being YOU than YOU.
If people want to work with you as they connect with you, then the business and relationship is real.
I’ve seen coaches pretend to care but then drop the client in 2 minutes. The marketing certainly doesn’t fit reality.
Be you, be real and you will be so much happier and content.
