Have been disinterested in loose content lately. But one goofy gif, enjoy the show.
Okay back to the game.
Adding Value
When we look at what we are capable of delivering, we can start to assess. What is it that we provide peak value with? What do we love to study and be engaged in?
This can look like:
Cold Calling Strangers (a detriment for the majority, a sickly obsession for few)
Top Tier Analysis and Compilation (this drives decisions at the highest levels)
Leadership (pouring into colleagues and those around you, while executing)
These are some brief intangible value-adds that serve others, simultaneously, rewarding you in perpetuity, granted you give it the same it gives you. Meaning, you are relentless when it comes to growing this skillset, fine-tuning it to it’s peaks. If you are not direly focused on being great in your personal life then you are going to face uphill challenges more frequently in any of the areas that you do dedicate your time to.
The intangible is what transmutes into the tangible.
When you’re maneuvering about life, like the rest of society, where are you going to add-value through the intangible? If you’re like me, you’re on a mission in public. In and out, job well done. I don’t like to tinker often and the reflection of that is limited face-to-face engagement with strangers. A skill that can be improved upon, if I desired to build more relationships within my local community, but that’s not my present focus. If it was, I’d be much more approachable and conversational. Presently, engaging on the phone/computer has the higher yield, including great conversations more frequently. The issue with engaging strangers, for me, at present, is I bring no tangible value that I can present to the marketplace, in my thoughts at least. I’m more in service of specific industry and to move ahead in that area, it generally requires a 1-track mind. Sure, if all I talked about was business, numbers, deals IRL . . . . . . .
To refrain from engaging avatars unwanted, environment is crucial.
This is tangible, if we step into environments that welcome our complexity and nourish our seeds as we drop the ripe fruits of idea into their grace, or contributing in whatever way we do, things grow. When you have the appropriate setting and the right people around you, the probability of grounding the intangible forces and bringing them to tangibility increases exponentially.
Now with this being a more entrepreneurial/development of person focused piece, we have to touch on what general tangibility looks like, in a value-add setting.
The primaries being:
Capital (this swings many ways, going to refrain from diving deeper)
Assets (the transmutation of capital, into more capital, another swinger)
Material Items (gifts, reports, devices, etc.)
People (the most critical and unpredictable)
Now when it comes to people, everyone is a living body, if we take this into account, we can reflect on our own experiences, which by no means prepares us for interacting in every situation, with the various avatars of the world, but it gives us a field to prepare from. We have dealt with people before, we are a person, we all have emotions, some more than others, some maybe not at all it seems. We have an awareness from experience when it comes to interacting with others. In a tangible sense, we can shake their hand, give them a hug, accidentally spit on their face when talking . . we can interact in so many tangible ways face-to-face. What we can’t do is turn our words into objects, not right in the moment, unless you’re in a high stakes negotiation. That may be one of the few common situations in life where we end conversation/debate/argument with pen to paper and/or conclusions that have more lasting results for both parties, in many of those higher level instances.
What does it take to adding value?
To be adding value in most of your situations, you are required to be a day by day achiever, at least if you desire the utmost life has to offer you . . . You have to execute tasks when you don’t want to do them. If people doubt you can work 7 days a week, then they are simply projecting their own faults. It’s not a fault to take a day off, but you have to be moderate if you are looking to win big. Take out the magic variables, the luck that is often non-existent. Sure, you might end up hitting the ball out of the park and winning the series, the higher truth, however, is you’re more likely going to be forced to get dirty. Take your singles base hits every chance you get, lean into a bunt and sprint the opening, and steal some bases along the way to get you ahead to reaching the home plate . . . . eventually. Stealing bases is a Saturday/Sunday work flow.
All in All, we have to stand tall through all storms and move against headwinds with a tide against us. We can say that we love the other side, the calm oceans and the sun toasting our skin toward a perfect tan, surrounding by the fruits of our achievement. Being able to take your foot of the pedal a bit and cool down, but that’s disregarding the eternal journey of betterment. That’s not adding infinite value.
When we step into our battery, and charge it efficiently, we can attack the marketplace with true intent. Not any fragmented intent, plagued with the holes of our personal life, the interference of the mind sparking doubt and other ailments.
Don’t take these lightly, it should be your focus to be in harmonious alignment in all areas of live for optimal contribution to community and fulfillment of higher purposes.
Anyways,
Don’t sit on your Saturdays, steal a base and move the needle. With love;
