Why Do We Suffer From Low Self-Esteem?

Mike had become a wealthy entrepreneur, but he had a hard time enjoying his business success because it seemed that every minute he wasn’t solving a business problem he was worried about what others thought of him and what he could do to get their approval.

Are you a BIG giant phony?

Are you walking around acting out a role someone else cast you in? Perhaps someone told you “respectable people don’t do that.” Maybe you ignore your calling because you’re afraid what a loved one will think of your choices.

Or perhaps, you live behind a carefully-constructed veil, never letting anyone see the real you. Because, if they can’t see the real you, then they can’t dislike the real you.

Day 61: What Is The ROI Of Being You?

How much are you worth? Who gets incredible value from being a part of your life? How much does it cost for you to keep them in yours?
These might sound like harsh questions, but why treat a business plan better than you treat your life?

If you were standing in a group with your closest friends and family, what is the one thing you could stand up and say you do better than anyone, creating a wave of nodding heads to say “yep – that’s what makes you and why we love you”?
