In order to ___, you HAVE TO…
Really? I have to?
I rebel inside when someone tells me I have to. Or I should!
How do your insides react?
Here’s the thing: some wisdom we extract from steaming piles of Have To.
“Contrast” is a useful experience. As long as we’re savvy about it. As long as we know what contrast feels like and have skills to process it.
What does that look like?
You’re reading online. A bold and seemingly successful human proclaims: “In order to be successful like me, you have to choose your niche and go after it with laser focus! Or else you WILL fail!”
We can easily search and find 1000 marketers who make that kind of assertion. But is it true for you?
It’s not been true for me.
This is the getting clear skill. What matters to you? If diversity matters to you, laser focus on one “avatar customer” will deplete your energy rather than activate you. I love the mix of beautiful beings that are a part of the circle. Each is their own unique being.
What can we guess matters to the person making their proclamation?
That can be truly useful to consider. A marketer that measures success by money or raw numbers and profit margin, who is driven by personal achievements and meeting goals is more likely to be successful (by what matters to them!) by following the niche-ing wisdom. It’s like mono-cropping to maximize farm profits.
For someone who wants the experience of depth, variety, of an ecosystem that is diverse and flourishing… we don’t “niche” - we cultivate and grow and explore.
Can you feel the difference?
Navigating assertions (of which criticisms and judgments and ridicule are cousins) takes a set of skills. Skills they do not teach in elementary school (or university).
For sensitive, empathetic beings, these skills… are incredibly useful for living a thriving life. Essential even.
So… Cathy and I will be exploring this skill set. For us, these skills have made it possible for us to express ourselves and co-create with far more savvy, calm, and confidence.
