It is #TalkingTuesday and for today’s topic I want to talk about acknowledgment. You would be surprised how far a simple acknowledgment of a person, acknowledgment of someone’s look and especially acknowledgment of someone’s post can catapult you into success.
It is Talking Tuesday so let us start with the acknowledgment of a person. Go talk to people whether you are a boss or an employee. Start up a conversation with someone acknowledging something good they have done. A main lesson here is for you to know that when you take the time to let someone know that you appreciate what they did or how amazing they did their job or even how well they are progressing, that little gesture of acknowledgment actually propels them forward and by extension they work harder and they work happier.
Another way to acknowledge someone is to point something out about how they look. People are very obsessed lately about every aspect of themselves and most have such low self esteem that they do not like anything about their look. Take a look at them then find something about them that you like whether it is their shirt, their shoes or maybe a piece of jewelry that they are wearing. Then, simply comment on it. It will really have an effect on that person whether it is outwardly or whether it is a feeling you bring to them internally.
Finally, as this blog is usually geared toward business, I will tell you to take the time to comment and acknowledge posts that people put out on any social media platform. Each time you engage a post, you get new eyes on you who may in turn click into your link to see what it is that you are offering and if you do this often enough, you just may get a new subscriber or client. Please though, do not spam any post and by that I mean do not put a link to a product or service that you are selling. Just comment on the relevant post that you happened upon and hopefully you will get mutual engagement.
The main takeaway of this blog post is that if you want to be successful and if you want to build or grow your business, you have to engage people in every possible way that you can and start acknowledging them to let them know that they matter. And, if you use a day like Talking Tuesdays to develop this skill, then it will start to feel like a habit and it will become part of a routine that you will not even have to give any thought to. There is a reason why they say, “Out of sight, out of mind”. You have to keep yourself active in peoples lives, especially on social media if your are building your business. Next, you have to start figuring out where to begin acknowledging people, like making a plan that on Tuesday, you will start scanning Twitter feeds for something that interest you but, be sincere because people will see right through you. The objective is to build a business that you love and that you can be proud of not just to make a quick sale.
As usual, learning is the key to success in all aspects of life so I am going to recommend a book that I had previously recommended to you called How To Talk To Anyone. It is a great way to boost your confidence and finally start those conversations. I am sure that your local library has the book for you to borrow. In the event they do not, I am attaching a link for you to get the book on Amazon>> https://amzn.to/2Ml0Fvv
If you choose to shop in Amazon, I would greatly appreciate it if you could use the link I have provided. As an Amazon Affiliate, it is possible I can earn a bonus and therefore continue to provide continued content we all enjoy. Thank you in advance!
