Are You Working to Make This a Better Planet - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career When I began business, I aspired to helping communities at large overcome the difficult learning curve of business and sales by sharing what I know to work well. My desire has always been to help others become successful in a shorter period of time. The subset of this is to give a percentage of earnings to medical research helping another segment of our population. Responsible for motivation and inspiration This past week I had the privilege to be coached by Les Brown. The people he attracted into his speech workshop were amazing in their own right. At one point, Les stated that it is our duty to work to motivate and inspire others coming up behind us or those of whom just need a helping hand. He challenged us to get clear on our mission statement, post it on our websites and verbally communicate how we help others in order to make this a better planet. I took the words of advice of becoming clear in order to communicate my mission better to heart. As a salesperson, it is very important to attract the right clientele with whom you feel a synergy. By communicating clearly and specifically, you are bound to attract the very people with whom you wish to work. Apply the clear communication skills to Facebook, Twitter, and other social media sites and you will be well-connected in a short period of time. In fact I have seen great results coming from clear communication and striving to help others already working. For example, instead of putting useless information out on Twitter, I provide helpful hints and most of the time without a link; simply helpful tips. A small percentage of the time I offer a shorter tip with a link. My following has grown tremendously, as have friendships and the list of great opportunities. My books sell well due to sharing everything I know to work well holding nothing back. People from around the world write to say how the books motivated and inspired them to keep on pursuing their goals. As more copies sell, I will be able to increase the sum sent to medical research. Small changes and big differences Everything I agree to undertake is met with 100% focus and resolve to do my best and more than meet the needs of others who hire me. Are you doing the same? What small changes may you implement that will make a big difference on this planet? This is another type of collaboration. Should many of us agree, although may work independently, when we combine our forces by helping others, we will make a huge difference for generations to come. The side note here is when you work to help others, business development becomes a natural experience â€" you get to enjoy the Smooth Sale!
