Why will they choose you?
Are you a “Copy cat” or an Original
Copying the Model is smart.
Copying the person is Dangerous.
It’s ok to copy a system or a template.
It’s normal to mimic the actions of others until you find your style
Every great creator, speaker, teacher, entrepreneur learned by modeling someone else first.
Don’t forget that YOU are the most valued component of your coaching program.
I’ve watched presenters and coaches get started and start looking around to see what others are doing. They try copying exactly what someone else is doing. That’s a good idea….until you start to feel things slip. It doesn’t last.
Healthy Copying - YES, do this The format | Unhealthy Copying - NO, Avoid this Their voice |
YOU? You can copy someone else…but it’s not YOU.
It might work for a minute, or a week, month, year….but then they can detect that you are not being you. It will catch up to you, someway and somehow. If you're not being YOU…it will end up throwing you out of balance.
The danger only comes when someone tries to BE the person they’re copying…instead of learning the structure underneath.
This is where your soul hides.
This is when you feel like an imposter.
This is where you burn out and lose your center.
Copy their skeleton ~ Grow your own skin.
Loving what I do comes from my mindset that says, “I like Kirk, he’s a good guy!”
I will value myself as much as I believe who I am, and what I do, matters.
I’m the only one that can decide that. Others can tell me that I matter, but if I discount that compliment it has zero affect on me.
My good opinion of myself boosts my value….and now I have something UNIQUE that is nowhere in the market…ME…I’M AN ORIGINAL.
The spirit, tone and purpose…that comes from you.
It’s worth it to build a better view of self.
With all the “copy cats” in the coaching field it turns into a pricing comparison mosh pit.
During the last 19 years of coaching I have been on a journey to become my ORIGINAL SELF. It’s weird, but it takes effort to clear off the fronts and behaviors that I think I have to be before someone will choose me.
It always works better to be me…it’s easier…I don’t have to remember how to act ... .and it doesn't wear me out. No fear of people finding out that I am shy…I can be who I really am.
