Be You | Stop Allowing Others to Tell You What and Who You Need to Be

Be you...

Over the years I was told, "Jeremy, you're not bringing enough energy. You need to be more excited. You can motivate, encourage, and help more people if you would act in this way." Guess what, it was complete BS, and for those telling me essentially not to be myself, what they don't realize is the number of people that came to thank me for my authentic relationship.

See, authenticity is what people want. They don't want a show. They want to know you truly are passionate about what you do, and that your intention is to add value...not dupe them into believing something through acting out of falsehood. People want to feel like you care about their needs and to be 100% genuine about that feeling.

I write this to encourage you to "Be You" today. I will bet more people will gravitate towards you than away from you. For those that move away, be okay with that too. Unfortunately we are messaged everyday in this world that we have to appeal to everyone. Stop that...it's not living in truth. Appealing to everyone means that you're compromising on everything. Compromising to everything means that you stand for nothing, and that is essentially lying to yourself because you know you stand for something.

Now saying this, I don't want to take away from the charismatic as long as it is authentic. If bouncing off the walls is your thing, and that is who you are, I say go for it. It is not me, and I'm okay with that.

Studying leadership over the years, I fit into a style of leadership that is slightly under the radar, yet I believe there is power in it. In my world, leadership is more quiet, and it is done through questioning, challenging, and more importantly listening. You will never see me jump up or down, or act a fool, and for the times some in this very group may have seen that...it was not done in authenticity.

Did I get to these thoughts over a day? No, it has been over the period of nearly 3 years rewiring my thoughts and taking new actions. Be you today. Challenge yourself. Go after your goals and dreams. Stop letting others tell you there must be a certain way to achieve big things. Not true.

Did this message hit you? I would love to hear what this meant to you.

Are you seeking a coach to level up your business? A coach that is grounded in being himself. Are you seeking a coach that will support you in being you? Are you seeking a coach that will question, challenge, and listen to your specific needs. If this is you, let's have a conversation and see where it might lead.

Have a great and productive day. Be YOU!
