We each have a special sauce.
The things that make our blend of humanness unique from anyone else.
The way we manage our time.
The value we bring to a project.
The goals we have in life.
The approach we take to building relationships.
The list goes on and on.
Knowing the things that make us unique unlocks opportunities.
Careers.
Relationships.
Connections.
All are better when we bring our special sauce.
My Perspective
Once we figure out our special sauce, we need to share it.
Far and wide.
Let everyone know.
Our sauce should be “special”, not “secret”.
When others know our strengths, we become top of mind in various situations.
Someone has a project or job comes available that we would be perfect for.
A new photography club is starting, and they know this is a passion of ours.
They speak with an old friend and find out they have an interest we have.
Connections.
Special sauce builds connections.
And word of mouth.
Just like your favorite brands.
When people have a challenge our favorite brand can solve, we tell them about the brand.
Your Turn
What is your special sauce?
How do you ensure others know the gifts you bring and interests you have?
What one thing do you wish you could get to spread via word of mouth?
