When your leave a footprint, you leave a reminder, an imprint to others that you were there. People buy from and surround themselves with people they know, like, and trust. How can they get to know you if you do not leave your footprint in their mind or even their heart?
People want to get to know you, so BE REAL – BE YOURSELF. They want the full meal deal – not an imposter. They were attracted to your qualities and character. When you try to be someone you are not, you rob the world of the person you are. We often think that if I just had this car or if I have more money, they would think more of me. Sadly, this is often not the case. What matters most is how you feel about you – on the inside. You may have heard the saying “Confidence is Sexy!” Confidence attracts people to you; and, confidence is empowering. People want to be around people who are energetic and have enthusiasm for life. They want to expereince what you have to offer.
“Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.” ~Judy Garland
SHARE A PIECE OF YOURSELF. Let people sample who you are. Build relationships with others. Give the people you meet value – a referral, tip, technique, or an idea that might be benefit them. You will receive more than you may expect in return. Take time to teach others, as you have had many teachers that helped you get where you are today. List the ways you can help others and start doing some of them toda
FOLLOW-UP WITH THE PEOPLE YOU MEET. You do not want the winds of time to bring a tide to the shore to wash away your footprint. Follow-up with the people you meet so you are on top of their mind and your footprint etched in the sand.
