What does being "UNIQUE" Mean to YOU ?

While Randy Gage is On a much needed Vacation, he is having is daily wisdom blogs done by Guest Speakers...

This last Blog Post written by Bruce Turkel brought up some interesting points I would Like to explore.

So let's start with the definition of Unique- According to Wikipedia:

So one of the things Bruce Turkel states and I am summarizing here-  that the word UNIQUE is overused and can be of disservice because the actual search for uniqueness is an never-ending search and it is a very tall order.  He Concludes with the quote by Oscar Wilde - 
"Be Yourself. Everyone else is already taken."  
(I encourage everyone to read Bruce Turkel's post, link above, great read.)

What I would like to add to that is - some people get so wrapped up in being UNIQUE and the search that they get LOST along the way and or get so frustrated in the process of the search and what it takes to be UNIQUE... that they also wind up giving up...

One of the Keys I would like to address is:

What does "UNIQUE" mean to YOU ?

If we go by the Dictionary version that I can completely agree that is quite UNIQUE to achieve the status of UNIQUE... 

I feel like most things, everybody has a different version 

and or perspective on a definition of a word...

What is Yours ?

When I hear the Word UNIQUE and or use the Word UNIQUE or tell my clients to be UNIQUE... What I am saying and meaning is to be your Own Authentic Self...  When you are NOT being yourself and are just spitting out status quo statements, and do the typical hand movements and or Staged Postures etc... and are Attempting to be Somebody else... People know it and quite frankly are tired of the canned or memorized responses and or speeches and behavior... At least I personally am...

When I hear a friend and or speaker speak etc... I want to see the same authentic person on stage as I know him or her when I shake their hand, talk to them or go out to dinner with them...

Now let us take this a Step Further Mark Sanborn in his book "Up, Down, or Sideways" 

CLICK HERE TO GO TO MARK SANBORN's Website...

(Another Book I highly recommend...)

Mark talks about one of his Successes as a Lead trainer for Tom Peters-In Search of Excellence seminar based on the book with the same title.
Mark says that he attributes his success over other trainers because they were just copying Tom Peter's jokes, and the way Tom Peter's delivered on stage... While, Mark Sanborn choose to teach and speak from his Own Unique and Authentic way... He still delivered the same information just in his own way...

I have been in relationships way back when, when the person I was dating when we were together they were one way, then when we would go out, he would be completely different with this sailing buddies, completely different with his work out buddies, completely different with Family etc... etc... etc...

For me that is not being your authentic self.... When I would ask him why...
He would tell me, I can't let my Business or Sailing buddies know that I am Spiritual and do Yoga and am into that metaphysical stuff, they wouldn't understand...

That type of living just doesn't work for me, and I Choose to Collaborate, Share, Consult, and be with people that LOVE being just themselves...

People who know me, know what they are going to get - in person, coaching, consulting and or on stage... High Energy, Drive, Passion, and Straight Talk, that is Compassionate yet to the point...  Spiritual Yes, Metaphysical Yes, Yet when I talk , I am talking from a very grounded place with a lot of Warrior Energy... I mix in my Spiritual Metaphysical side into teaching in a very western almost logical way... so that all Audiences More Western and or More Eastern can take the tools and apply them in their daily life and business.

Not everyone wants to know what colors the chakras are, are they male or female, which way they are spinning, what organs they are associated with etc... Some people just want to know the  basics and how they can merge Eastern ways and techniques that they can apply in their daily Western ways... 

Bottom Line... Love who You are, and 

Be YOUR OWN Unique Authentic self... 

I still LOVE the word Unique... 

I just view it in a much bigger scope and with a Both AND... Mentality...  

   Enjoy the Journey...

Self-Development Courses, Tele Conferences, Web Seminars, Social Media, and Automation...

Self-Development Courses, Tele Conferences, Web Seminars, Social Media, and Automation...

Call me Crazy, however, I have a few questions for YOU...

-Who is tired of the endless Tele Conferences ???

-Who is tired of the endless Webinars ???

-Who is tired of all of the Automation of Social Media and more ???

-Who is tired of going to Self-Development Classes and being Stuck in a HOTEL for up to 8 hours a day ?

-Who is tired of being sent to these websites that are selling a course and the page goes on and on and on and is in the typical bold white, black and red and says:

NORMALLY we Charge this...

And Wait we will also give you this Bonus... 

and wait there is More...

More...

and now for this special price of ONLY $$$

$29.99 etc... and this is ONLY for today etc...

and if you ACT now we will throw in this BONUS...

Now... I am all for creating massive Abundance And... I am also a HUGE believer in human interaction...  

I have been doing massive research for over 25 years in the areas of Psychology, Healing and Learning with Environment, Color, Sound, NLP, Hypno, the different learning modalities and styles of learning etc... with various demographics from Pre-school to the Mentally Disabled to Successful Millionaires.

I even ran a preschool I created back East Called Learning, Playing and Growing for over 3 yrs and also worked for NY States disabled population within private homes and schools starting in 1986 alongside all of my medical training certifications which was spurred on by my own medical issues and work in these areas and wanting to truly find out more about interconnectedness of the Mind, Body, Business, and Spirit Connection... 

All Studies that I researched, studied, applied and more showed that:

-We learn the best when we are Playing- being in a creative, interactive open space, just look at children.

-Everyone Learns differently:  Audio, Visual, Kinesthetic, Audio Digital.

-Our Unconscious and Subconscious minds have a lot to do with what we say, and how we have created our lives.

-Our environment does impact us on multiple levels.

-Colors impact our mood and state of mind.

-Humans have a field of energy around them and beam out a certain vibration. 

-All Humans thrive with interactive human contact.

-What we eat impacts out moods and state of mind.

-Certain Sounds increase our ability to retain information and speeds up processing and integration.

-When we give things away for free, people are not fully invested in the learning.

-When our Pages have massive value and content and is given away for next to nothing Your actual value goes down and not only that you are creating a database of people that are not looking to buy, actually just looking for what  they can find for free and in doing that are truly not going to take full accountability and really dive into the reading, and or learning.

-Nothing in this life happens without someone truly being passionate and dedicated to what they are choosing to Be and or Do in this life... 

-Being creative with financing with people gives you more reach to help all demographics and in doing so people that are purchasing aren't going into debt and are 90% more apt to follow thru and pay what is owed.

-Having accountability contracts in place engages people to participate at a higher level.

-Having mentoring and or coaching built into the programs increases the rate of success and testimonies.

And sooo many other things I could go into...

So now Imagine this instead....

....Imagine you were in an Open, Home feeling type of environment as well as part of the time you were Outdoors and part of your learning was done through actual exploration of the area you were in...

...Imagine if the training course came with healthy whole food meals and snacks so you aren't running around like crazy during your Lunch breaks etc...

and waiting in long lines to get food.  

....Imagine that while you were eating it was in groups to great more of a master-mind setting to actually discuss further ways to excel in your areas of expertise.

...Imagine if the actual websites and or sales page of product was just Honest, Clear, Straight forward with Lots of Information and Value where the pricing was geared to suit your needs where you are at that moment - Hence creative financing, front end, back end, percentages, Part Money, Part Barter etc...

...Imagine all courses coming with built in human mentoring.  Where groups and or teams would be put together according to where you live so once a month you have actual human interaction and once a week with a large

group-team there is a group Conversation and once a week you have emails and for some that need further motivation daily emails that took no more than 15 minutes of your time to just check in with your Mentor and or team that this is what I am working on and I need help with this...
