Rock My Image works to produce Rockstar Professionals who are aces in their industry and share like minded values. One of the concepts we like to share with our clients is the importance of discovering the Why you do what you do.
Top 3 Benefits to Determine Your Why:
1) Defining your why is the first step in successful brand building
Knowing the reasons behind why one does what they do is much more compelling than just knowing what they do because we can relate and resonate with their passion and values. Determining your why you do what you do should be at the heart of your efforts.
2) Finding your why is empowering and inspiring
Being an entrepreneur can be challenging even for the best of the best. There is a lot of competition, there are challenges and setbacks to overcome and at times it can be a struggle. When you truly define and know why you do what you do, you can tap into a deeper passion to help you surge past any challenges you may encounter. Many people start a business to make money but real successful people have a bigger vision and purpose to why they do what they do that continually fuels their efforts.
3) Communicating your why can improve your marketing’s effectiveness
Developing loyal customers is all about attracting the people who share your fundamental beliefs. When you have defined your beliefs, values and your Why and communicate it, people and opportunities will naturally start to tune in and resonate with your message. This is the law of attraction at work.
Think about it, if your message is to make yourself more money, how compelling is that for others to jump on board? When people can see the bigger purpose of what you’re trying to achieve and the passion that drives you, you may earn business from others that share your values.
Tips to Determine Why You Do What You Do:
Your main reason for knowing why you do what you do is so you can be sure to actually achieve what you actually want. If you’re not truly in tune with your why then you can set yourself up for disappointment. Many people claim their main goal is to make a lot of money but if it comes at the sacrifice of their time, freedom and health would it be worth it? Deciding on a career or starting a business for the wrong reasons could cause more challenges than benefits.
