6 Questions That Uncover Your Brilliance

I talk to my clients and students all the time about their unique brilliance. At first people can find the idea of being uniquely brilliant intimidating. We are often taught that it's not OK to claim our greatness. Quite frankly, that just isn't true. It's a myth perpetuated by those who are so afraid to claim their own greatness they don't want anyone else to do it either. That's not what I want for you and the world.

I can promise you that when you connect with your own deep wisdom you will never want to go back to playing small in any way. You truly do have a uniquely brilliant message that will resonate with your ideal clients and make doing business fun and effortless. That message comes from your heart and supports and infuses all of your professional messages. It's reflected in your brand, how you work, who you work with and everything about what you stand for. This is what connects you to the people you will serve best and the higher income that you want and deserve.

When I work with clients, I use a series of processes that leads them directly to the magic of their work that they can express in their Signature Talk. Today I want to share with you six of the questions I use with clients that will help you explore the message that underlies your brilliance.

Take some time this week to journal about the following:

1. What is it that you are here to share with the world?

2. What are you meant to teach people?

3. What have you learned through your own experiences?

4. How are you already serving the world?

5. What is your unique brilliance that sets you apart from the crowd?

6. What do you do that is different (even a little bit) from what everyone else does?

These are big questions so it may take you some time to uncover your answers. Relax around the information and let the answers take the time they take to bubble up for you. If they don't spring immediately to mind, sleep on it! Let the questions marinate in your subconscious. Set an intention that the universe will bring forth answers for you.

And, of course, have fun with this!

She Wins, You Win: The Most Important Rules Every Businesswo - She Wins, You Win: The Most Important Rules Every Businesswoman Needs to Know Gail Evans, 2003 Also author of Play Like A Man, Win Like A Woman Inside jacket: Every time a woman succeeds in business, every other woman's chances of succeeding in business increase. Every time a woman fails in business, every other woman's chances of failure increases. Gail realized that one of the most important elements of the men's game, which was missing from the women's, was support: The boys know how to take care of one another. In order to create lasting success, women need to help one another and band together as a team. TOC The Woman's Team Why you must play on the woman's team How to join the team Tips for the team 1.

Re: Contact Information - Another idea would be to have an email form in place to accept "ticketed" inquires (if people are afraid of spammers seeing their email address). However, I hate how some sites try to persuade you out of sending an email by bombarding you with lists of "Frequently Asked Questions & Answers" as I find they're rarely helpful.
Synergy and Other Creative Insights - Truth is that there is [u:2iwgooi1]C[/u:2iwgooi1]ollaboration - on a formal basis and [u:2iwgooi1]c[/u:2iwgooi1]ollaboration which is informal. Let's say that you have a great new product. Before it launches you get loads of buddies in the same business as you to tear it apart and let you refine it. Creative people will get others in as well. people from outside the business - or those who are in the business who might not have anything to do with it and seek their input - listening hard. These aren't focus groups, they are way beyond this - they are real outsiders and thus have very open minds, asking the dumb, the stupid questions, which are often the most valuable. Questions like these help me be a good coach too! I once worked in a business where the backshop (the store room) was always untidy. They held a team meeting and had the cook in as well (you know the one who ran the employee facility). She knew nothing about the storeroom and its processes, but boy did she ask some tricky questions of them. Sometimes, little 'c' collaboration is real good at the mocro level, without which the big 'C' collaboration would be worthless.
