A New You
Successful businesses and businesspeople are skilled at reinventing the old into the new, constantly regenerating and renewing. How can you do the same? Here are a few ideas:
1. Meet new people. Particularly for those who have the same friends for many years, making some new ones can be enlightening. Of course, we all benefit from knowing people who have seen us through our ups and downs and know us very well, but we can also learn a lot from someone who is forming a brand new impression of us. Each new person you meet offers a clean slate. What do you want to show this person, and what does she pick up on? What old traits do you want to let go of, and which new ones are you inclined to highlight?
2. Give yourself a makeover. Get a nice haircut, start eating smarter and working out more regularly, and spiff up your wardrobe. Taking good care of yourself shows other people that you value yourself and you believe you have a lot to offer. You’re worth the investment.
3. Take a snapshot. What are you holding onto from the past that you should let go of? Are there lingering doubts, fears, or reservations about yourself and the future? Take a good look at yourself as you are. What do you have? What are your strengths today? What are your assets, and how can you use them to leverage more for yourself? Let go of the baggage of the past and move confidently and optimistically into your future.
