What’s Special about You? Claim it!

I know many seasoned women business owners.  And even with our experience, there  seems to be a  common trait that gets in our own way. We worry about what other people think of us. We want to be accepted.  Instead of daring to be different, many women are being conventional and doing things the safe way. 

Being different is what sets you apart from your competitors, plain and simple.  By not owning your power – your difference – your uniqueness – you will definitely not attract as many clients. Being unique might REPEL a few, however, by being unique, you will attract the RIGHT kind of people and business, and they will be excellent fits for you. 
A good friend and client of mine is an EFT practitioner (Emotional freedom technique) and is successful using that gift and talent with her clients. She is also an angel reader, channeling angel’s wisdom.

She used to hide her uniqueness, and was nervous about telling others about her angel readings because she fears their judgment.  I’ve taught her how to embrace her gifts, and she has become tremendously popular.  She knows that by holding herself back, she is also holding herself back from truly finding success and fulfillment in an area she loves, and from helping those who most need her services.  

 There is something about each of us that makes us unique and wonderful. It could be your intuition, organizational skills, empathy, and sense of humor, quirks, or spiritual beliefs.  Whatever it is, we should recognize and cherish it.  Don’t run from it, or worse, hide it from others.  Own your individuality!

Owning your individuality won’t make everyone love you, and that’s just fine.  The most important thing is to love yourself and be proud of what you do best.  There are many, many people in our world. A good rule to remember is that  1/3 of these people will not be “your” people.  1/3 will feel neutral about us – and the remaining 1/3 will be those you bond with, and who love and respect your wonderful, unique self. 

What unique gift or talent are you ready to embrace and show to the world???
