Where Tips Can Improve Your Life

I LOVE YOUR...

Did someone compliment a beautiful, wonderful, unique, or delightful possession of yours? And your response was something like “I’ve had it since before dirt was invented. It’s so old.”

You find it attractive, enjoyable, memorable, valued, or cherished for your reasons. It’s new to you again, especially since someone glowingly acknowledged it, completely new to them. That can also apply to your expertise, your unique reservoir of knowledge.

Years later you look back at your starting point or somewhere in your journey, amazed by your progress, learning all you know now as an expert in your field. You might make light of it, while others hold much higher opinions.

Then something happens.

You have a different perspective so you present it differently. Your awareness is deeper, there are new tools and new people of different ages, backgrounds, and interests. Your approach changed over time. Stories play a larger role in your teaching. Or you like long stories less, now eager for shorter paths in presenting your expertise. Being succinct is more comfortable for you and your audience. Or, you blend and balance both modes rather than stay at one end or the other.

Where is all this going, you might wonder?

Imagine This

This is that old possession. It prompts wonderful memories. It fits your body. It fits your home, You considered replacing it multiple times, going for a new experience physically and aesthetically, yet it represents so much of your life. A first-time guest in your home raves about the chair, and it comes to life all over again for you.

Yes, it's old, yes, it's part of the richness of who you are, and it is the perfect bridge from your earlier chapters to future ones. You view it through different eyes and different feelings.

NEW, OR NEW AGAIN?

Whether a long-time subscriber to this newsletter or arrived more recently, using how-to tips to share your expertise captured your interest. Maybe you created a tips manuscript, booklet, and other online and offline delivery formats. Or you’re debating your sound bites’ value – is it worth the time, money, or effort to explore that? There is no right or wrong to your thoughts or feelings.

DIFFERENT FILTERS NOW

What IS important is inviting you to assess where you, your business, and your life are, to make informed decisions about what to do with your knowledge, experience, and resources.

•        Are you excited by your business?       
•        Do you want an easy, almost effortless, and enjoyable spark lit?
•        Is spending less time or spending it differently important to you?
•        Is having a “side hustle” appealing?
•        Do you believe your field is saturated by other experts?
•        Did you write one or more books now collecting dust not dollars?
•        Have you talked about writing a book that’s yet to be a reality?
•        Do you think everyone already knows what you know?
•        Is fear, someone, or something stopping you from moving forward?
•        Do you think you need more knowledge to be an expert?

YOU'VE GOT COMPANY

These prompts are to get you thinking. You are not the only one experiencing or believing this. It could be time to look through different lenses at what you know, what you want, and when you’ll allow yourself to take action. Your next steps are yours to choose. There are people whose lives you can greatly enrich, no matter how many times or what formats you’ve shared your brilliance before. 

New generations appear every day. They see through different eyes and hear through different ears. Yes, an amazing grasp of the obvious. There is so much in our respective minds making it challenging to access every bit of useful information.

If you’ve done tips already, consider revising them to current reality if they’re not “evergreen.” Or create a new, related set of tips. Explore expanding your product line with other delivery formats of the same information online and offline.

Want to bring any of your books back to life again or create more basic entry points to your topic(s)? A 52-tip manuscript from your book’s content can powerfully re-introduce your book. The tips can also be licensed or sold wholesale to a relevant association or company, dripping a tip a week on their email lists, offering your product as a gift with purchase, or bundling with their product as a value-added. 

WHAT'S NEXT NOW?

Your experiences (including previous sub-par results) are history not current reality. You learned lessons to build different results at different times with different people.

Let’s treasure the old and co-create something new from it. My 32 years in this business makes me your ideal guide in traveling that journey with you. The new version of our website is evidence of that by its appearance and content, intentionally (re)growing slowly at this point.
