The Game Just Got Easier…Are You In?

When I first heard the new of Steve Jobs passing away, it reminded me of how fragile life really is.  But what really struck me was how Steve lived his life.  He was a Maverick.  He lived life to the fullest on his own terms.  He did it “my way”.

How many of us can say that?  Are we living life on our terms or are we living our lives through rose-colored glasses…more worried about public perception than being truly authentic?

You want to expand your tribe through your social media portals.  Have you reviewed how you post on Facebook?  Have you set your game plan and goals?  What are your motives?  Remember the motive that inspires the greatest trust is genuine caring…caring about people and caring about your values as well as putting a high level of expectation on the quality of what you do.  Is your behavior acting in the best interest of everyone?  These are all elements of your authenticity and your credibility.

Results matter!  They matter enormously to your credibility.  People evaluate your results and performance based on three indicators; past performance, current performance and anticipated performance. Recognizing this is a critical moment in your entrepreneurial mindset.  Your past performance is gauged by your reputation and track record for delivering results.  Your current performance is solely based on what you can accomplish at this moment in time.  This indicator plus your past performance gives your tribe the necessary indicators to evaluate future performance.

Steve Jobs was a Maverick.  He lived his life on his terms.  He made his share of mistakes, but his single-minded focus was to make computer products that were cutting edge, reliable, innovative and forward thinking.  The results he brought to the industry were not only life changing, but ingenious.

Bring your “A Game” to your entrepreneurial endeavors.  Focus on what you can do to create authenticity and unstoppable empowerment.  Remember…results matter!  Be empowered!

Yours In Success & Spiritual Empowerment…
