This week's question from my portal “The Neagle Code: Directions for Life” comes from someone who wishes to remain anonymous. 

I’m an attorney. I’ve been comparing myself a lot with other attorneys out there who focus in my area.

I feel like I’m getting down on myself because I’m not doing the 10 things they’re doing. I’m thinking, “Well, these other attorneys are all offering templates, they have podcasts, etc.”

How do I know what is good to look at — in terms of generating good ideas and figuring out what works for me? — versus getting caught up in the comparison game?

The consumer response will tell you how good an idea is.

The best advice is to stay in your own unique authenticity.

As you try things, look at the responses you get and carefully track data.

With social media, podcasts, and the like, there are two things people are consuming on there:

One is information, the other is entertainment.

Bring your unique, authentic personality to it and decide what is your strength — is it to inform? And can you do it in an entertaining way or not?

Know what your strength is, double down on it, and play with it.

It’s interesting because it causes us to have to break through vulnerabilities that business people typically didn’t have to break through before.

You have to determine whether or not you’re good at a particular activity. And if you’re not good at it, then you have to find out what mode of communication via those vehicles you can be good at.

Is it writing? Speaking? Video? And then you take it from there.

Just see how people respond to different things.

That’s all that matters — how people respond.

If they’re not responding, then you’ve got to switch something up and start testing different things until you get them to respond.

It does require that you think about what you’re doing, what your message is, and what kind of response you’re looking to get with the people you’re trying to reach.

This week's question from my portal “The Neagle Code: Directions for Life” comes from Roger.

Hi David,

In some of your recent teachings you talk about uncovering what your areas of resistance are. I’ve been taking a close look at myself, and I notice that I resist being silly and vulnerable. I very much want to be a speaker, and I can see how this resistance is affecting my ability to really step into that. Any advice on how to break through this?

Hi Roger and thanks for your question!

What’s so bad about being silly?

I’m asking you to answer for yourself, because hidden in the answer to that question is the wound you’re trying to protect.

Let me explain.

When you speak from stage, or in any instance where you’re influencing people, you must come from a place of authenticity.

This means allowing yourself to be vulnerable with your audience. Allow them to really see you, because in you showing them that vulnerability is okay, you give them permission to be vulnerable as well.

You make an immediate connection with a prospect and they know you can help them because you were able to do something that they are afraid of.

Are you afraid to be seen as silly because you worry about judgment? Are you concerned about what people think of you?

If so, you’re coming from a place of getting approval and acceptance rather than a place of helping someone else.

My recommendation is for you to begin embracing your silliness. Look at where you can share personal stories and

allow yourself to be more vulnerable.

Once you start doing this you’ll realize the impact it has on people, and you will gradually stop being afraid of the judgment.
