Hey beautiful!!Happy Makeover Monday !!

Have you ever struggled with what you’re suppose to be doing?

If you’re anything  like me and you’re very

” Purpose and Passion” driven , meaning you searched for your purpose or you have to have passion behind it.

Being all in is important because you want to authentically make an impact and feel useful in what you’re doing.

This morning I was scrolling through Facebook and  looking at the post I noticed how many people were talking about what others should be doing while not offering any insight on what they do professionally.

While entrepreneurship is an amazing journey many people don’t talk about the hours , money , time , and skill set you must have to be successful and maintain it .

Now I love the spotlight , but like a true celebrity I want the money , fame and the lifestyle!!

Many artists, politicians, and comedians speak on the difficulties in building a following , personal brand and montazating their craft.

Now unless your family has a public name

( Example  Hiltons)   or  in a family where the business you’re in is a family business , passed down from generation to generation .

You’re most likely building your brand  or business on your own . From your unique vision .

So, like I said I was on FB and I got to thinking …. Well actually I heard my mom’s words ringing in my ear.

She used to say…

We make things harder than what they are .

Now I know what you’re thinking. Some things are hard , and parts of life can be difficult.  But bare with me as we discuss and think about this .

My mom was an educator.   She taught Head Start and pre k for over 30 years.  She taught Bible study , as well as having her Masters in education.  So when I say my mom was an educator… She was an educator.  I  mean she made me hate writing because she wanted it spaced a certain way , and I couldn’t present just anything to my teacher.. as she would say .

Even when I was leaving high school and I told her I wanted to work for myself * insert neck roll* cause I was 19 with all the sass. Her words are forever a navigational piece for me ..she said

” You will forever have to educate yourself on what you’re doing “.

 

I believe I’m in the field of personal development and image because of her .

How you Present yourself and what you do is a huge part of any type of business.

Even when we purchase lipstick from a store, or fries from McDonald’s . How the business looks , the reputation of the job they do , consistently, and the presentation is what gets us through the door and makes a lasting impression.

Back to making up your mind .

This same principle applies in building a personal brand .

You have to make up your mind on what you want to do !!

Because of social media we think as long as it looks good, and we sound like it … then we can become it .

What I believe many people fail to discuss is the function of it.

How you perform behind the scenes, how you stay consistent, and what you believe are key values in being a star player , performer and personal brand in front of other people.

So I ask you ..

What are the functions of the job you want?

And while you might be surprised that I said job , a personal brand is just that .

A job .

The industries I named before ( comedian, actor , artist) are the titles , but the function of these jobs, the talent they have , and developing their skill set   are what gets these people paid and keeps them in business.

Again social media gives the illusion that everyone can just do everything, but what can YOU do , what are you willing to work towards is the question.

In the book ” Fame 101″ the author describes how America loves experts .

And we do!

It’s because as people we all want the best.  The best advice, service , products, and information.

So if you’re not willing to be an expert in what you do.  Why do it ? Why set yourself up for less than you reserve ?

Being an expert in any field separates you from

” who people think you are ” to ” who you are and who you do this for !”

People want to be led by people who love what they do , see the future, and who are educated in what they do !

So on this Makeup Mindset Monday , here are a few questions to get you going .

 

1. What expertise , or skill set are you willing to invest in to separate yourself from the herd ?
2. Looking at your talents and gifts, what area  or industry do you feel called to , or see a need in the market to solve and be the go to person for it ?
3. If you got all of the opinions of ” them” out of your head, what focus would you want to do with your life?

 

While these may seem like basic questions, I remember having to really think on this myself .

Even as I write this, I am always thinking about how I’m standing out to my audience.  What value am I living through before I tell or sell someone else to do?!

While I hate to admit my mother was right . She was . Choosing your career is your calling and doing your job is the function or task you have to do daily .

So when you think of being a coach or consultant… or just being famous …

What job functions are you OK or great at performing daily? As a content creator I have to make content everyday, like a job . Whether I’m inspired or not. But what gets me through it is the commitment I’ve made to myself , my audience and the development of myself .

So if that’s voice lessons to sound better when broadcasting or writing lessons to have better blogs.  Or going back to school to further educate yourself on the problem you want to solve . Your calling is inspiring to you just as much as you want to inspire people .

So today don’t overthink it , be honest with yourself about what you want to do . What you want to achieve in this lifetime of ours!

Remember in a world where everyone wants to be the same , be the  exception to the rules and stand out.

Even when you think of the greatest people in any industry they always talk about how much time they put into what they do before the public even sees it.

As always I love you boo and I’ll  see you next week or slaying in these internet streets !!
