Last weekend I had lunch with my friend, Sara, and she told me I needed to talk myself up more. I hate doing this. I much prefer to talk up other people. After some reflection, I realized that if I talked myself up in a way that showed others how I could help them and their ideas shine, then that would be a very worthwhile cause. This is a follow on to my conversation with Brian in which he advised me to put my creativity to work to build my career by my own design.
So I did it. I created a “Hire Me” page on this blog. This is a big flipping deal for me because I’ve never done anything like this before. And it was actually fun to do. A true creative confidence builder. I highly recommend you give it a whirl, too.
Two days in and already I am getting a few bites via the contact form on the page. I should have done this sooner. Better late than never.
Click the tab above or here to check it out. Let me know what you think! (And tell your friends, family members, co-workers, neighbors, and Tweeple, too.)
Great!
Good for you! As an introvert, I also find it difficult to put myself “out there.” I’ve just started reading a book that I’ve found helpful so far (only one chapter into it). It’s called Brag! The Art of Tooting your Own Horn without Blowing It. http://www.klausact.com/bragbook.html Best Wishes, Peter
Hi Peter,
