Some People Yell Some People Whisper [11/11/08]

so people are like coming up to me and saying yeah I love all your videos and everything you're saying is great and it's practical it's not genius but it's practical and you're showing us how to do it and we appreciate that but there's a big problem I'm not as charismatic or you know over-the-top or handsome as you are you know so what do I do and I wanted to finally break something down when did being completely over the toop and full of energy and just massively explosive becomes so awesome because a lot of people email me and tell me how awesome it is and how they wish they were like that but I got to be honest with you if you're an introvert instead of an extrovert you could be doing the same things I'm doing you've just got to crush them with content guys do you think it's a lot of fun to be the way I am let me tell you something I'm just embracing who I am and I'm accepting that's what's so important you've got to really just love your own DNA you are you and if you've got good content and you know what you're talking about whatever the subject matter is you be respected as long as you hustle and keep putting it out there see the funny thing is guys is that there are plenty of people and you know them behind the scenes it's great that all I have all this popularity a lot of people say nice things it's CU I really do care and I do pump out stuff and I think that it's got some value and I really do care and people feel it because I email everybody back and I direct message people but there are plenty of people that think I'm a jerk off douchebag that think I'm way high energy or full of there's people out there that think that and what I've noticed over the last 2 three years is that over time not that I've won them over but that I've continued to pump out good content I continue to you know put my uh my work where my mouth is or what is it you know I just continue to answer my email I continue to work hard I continue to build brand Equity I continue to also give and do 15 minute phone calls with people that just randomly ask for it and I think when you do the right things when your actions speak loud louder than your words even if your words are completely obnoxious and over the top like some people think I am or very slow and somber and articulant and direct like maybe you are it's all about the content at the end of the day and sure I could be a showman and all that and that's just my natural DNA but if you don't think I realize that if I just toned it down a hair just a hair that I would be more accepted there's plenty of people that hate my style as a matter of fact there's a lot of people that hate that over-the-topness and it's too much and everybody thinks I'm on crack or Red Bull I get it and I respect it and I think people need to understand that you need to respect other people's opinion you need to be truthful with yourself I'm telling you if I was 7% less over the top I'd be 10 times bigger if you understand where I'm going with that but I can't be 7% less I've got to be me and the quicker you're you and realize it's not the personality but it's the content and the hard work and seeing opportunity and networking and however you do it that really separates you from the pack I can yell and scream and be all crazy and do all this but unless I back it up unless there's true results unless people go out there and use me for Consulting and then do things and it actually works unless all those things happen you lose so it's about the chops do you have the chops if you do it doesn't matter if you yell or if you whisper
