Invisibility to Prominence By Tooting Your Own Horn
Invisibility to Prominence By Tooting Your Own HornWhen I was a teenager, I was a weekend moviegoer. It was the age of Rocky and Star Wars, after all. While the experience was fun, something has stuck with me.The movie theatre always ran a commercial during the previews before the film. They wanted local business owners to buy an ad before every show. It went -"What happens when you don't advertise? NOTHING!"Yes, that's a great lesson for business owners. But what about YOU?If you want something more in your life, you need to toot your own horn so others can help you get it. That's how you manufacture endless opportunities in your life.

You Should be Unapologetically Unreasonable
You Should be Unapologetically UnreasonableAre you a reasonable person? Maybe it is time for you to change.A reasonable person settles for the mundane and says, "It IS what it IS!" An unreasonable person says, "That's fine, but I don't like it that way, and I don't accept it!" They change people's perception of what is. They create a different reality. They don't accept the norms. Someone once told an off-color joke at a dinner party being held by Maya Angelou.She stopped the party and said, "I don't have that in my house. You will have to leave. Even after an apology, she stood her ground."That's fine, that's for another time, but for today, you have to leave." Some people are so afraid to offend that they are willing to be reasonable. Be UNREASONABLE about your beliefs. Take a stand and become known for it! The world wants you to be reasonable and fit in. Don't do it. Be unreasonable! Learn more about your ad choices.
