My friend Steve has a post over on his blog called No Comparison… that got me thinking quite a bit. Truth be told, just about all of Steve’s posts do. He has a gift of “waxing poetic” as they say, in a very understandable and genuine way.

In the post Steve tells us of someone he knows that is going through financial difficulties. He eventually tells the person about a financial loss he had incurred at one time dwarfing theirs. He doesn’t go into exact detail as to what happened or what was said other than at the end there was hope for this person. Hope.

So no matter what our human frailties, what our shortcomings, what we may think we are lacking, most of us have walked down a few paths that many may not have. We have walked in others moccasins, so to speak. You see we all do have experience and vision that we are able to convey to others. Not all of it is going to be something we are proud of. But as Steve points out, It won’t be your frailty that will be exposed, it will be our authenticity.

Thank you once again Steve.

Questions:
1. What have you gone through that could help someone?
2. What types of relationships could you foster by being authentic?
3. Could you incorporate this into your online business?
4. What would your business do if you worked with a lot authentic people?

Have a great and safe New Year.
