What happens when you make yourself vulnerable to someone and they stomp on your dream?

In this episode, Dan talks about being careful not to let your ego get in the way of being an encouragement.

He’ll share his opinion on guilt and manipulation tactics versus cultivating and caring.

The Big Takeaway: You don't have to be perfect to be awesome. You just have to be awesome.

All around us there are opportunities to deliver value.

Being valuable is finding opportunities to deliver something extra and then delivering it.

After listening to the podcast, come over to The EDGY Facebook page and let's talk about when we succeeded and when we fell short in delivering value.

The Big Takeaway: It's hard to have value if your behaviors aren't changing.

Today I talked about my one big mistake when I thought I was being so valuable.

We all make mistakes that we have to work through. It's easy to get discouraged.

Listen and come over to The EDGY Facebook group and share your "AHA" moment and how you adjusted from your mistake to offer more value.

By adopting a "Best or Nothing" attitude, Lior and Dan discuss changing culture and building confidence with the "3 P's".

If you want to be valuable and you're not valuable, why is that?

You know if you're valuable, the world brings you more fulfillment. You're happier.

So why aren't we? The things that we do on a daily basis either add value or remove value from our current capabilities. And that's how other people judge us. How they see us.

Listen to my thoughts on why I think we aren't valuable to other people (and to ourselves).

Then come over to The EDGY Facebook group and let's talk about your thoughts on it.

Competency, Capability and Value-- What's the difference? Or is it the same?

You can't be valuable unless you have skills and talents. And those skills need to be as good or better than the person who needs your skills.

To know the ins and outs. To have succeeded and failed. To have experience that you've gained from those failures and successes give you skills and talents that are unique to you.

Using those capabilities are the ways to be valuable.

After listening to the podcast, come over to The EDGY Facebook group and let's talk about what it is that you do better than anyone else and what you'd like to improve upon.

The Big Takeaway: Despite the negativity, it's what you do next that decides if you make your big breakthrough.

Today, I talk about Susan Boyle and the ridicule she went through just to get recognition for her talent and ability.

It's not what you do the day you get discovered.

It's what you do in the years, weeks, days, and moments before your big breakthrough.

Come over to The EDGY Facebook page and let's talk about the skills and talents you are honing to make yourself valuable.

The Big Takeaway: Sometimes you have to take your best stuff and give it away.

The key to being valuable is not just selling things to people.

Sometimes it's doing what you do and giving it to people.

Today, I talk about Stu Hinky and how he continues to offer value day after day even when he's busy.

Join me today in The EDGY Facebook group and let's talk about what we are doing and what we could be doing.
