Be Known

I Know a Place

There is a small bakery in my neighborhood. It’s where I go to get cupcakes. Very good cupcakes. Pumpkin is in season. So delicious. What a blessing to have a gourmet bakery in my neighborhood. Cupcakes make the world a better place.

I know where to get the best cupcakes.

Be Known

One of the ways to expand our abundance is to expand reach. It's easy to become known within your family if you love to bake. Your family gets to enjoy many treats. They can also give you feedback on their favorites and least favorites.

If my neighborhood baker never started a business I would have never known about her wonderful baking skills.

We start by sharing our talents with our family and friends. We can expand by sharing with a community. We can expand even further if we wish. The sky's the limit these days.

There is joy in sharing our talents with others. And we are in complete control of how much to share, when to share, and how far to share.

Being known is not about advertising. Being known is simply about serving others with our talents. Those we serve will develop a fond awareness and appreciation for what we do. The result of sharing our talents with others is that we become known.

Be Remembered

Being known for something means you are remembered and thought about. How many times do you think about others during the day? Maybe you see something and it reminds you of someone. Maybe you have a conversation and a topic comes up and it reminds you of someone. Our mind is always reminding us people and things as we go about our daily lives.

If we use our talents to serve others, people will remember us in a good way. And if you have a business making cupcakes, you just might get some new customers that say "I heard about you from a friend!"

Be Consistent

There is a philosopher photographer I enjoy. He always challenges my thinking and I get much encouragement from him to keep experimenting with photography. He has been blogging for over ten years. I feel like I know him. He's a photographer, philosopher, artist, husband, and new dad. If he ever quit blogging, it would be earth shaking to me. He is always there. That is the power of being known, and being consistent.

Being consistent in how we serve is key to becoming known and reaching beyond our family and friends, if that is something we desire.

Be Patient

Becoming known is a slow process and that's good! It gives us time to grow and try different things. It allows us to develop and refine our talents into expertise.

If we have ambitions to reach beyond our family and friends it will take some extra time and additional skills. But the concept of using our talents to serve others is the key.

Finally

Abundance starts with good things flowing from us. Our talents and unique experiences give us something to share in abundance. Over time, as we share our talents, we become known and appreciated. We also become remembered and shared with others.

It is completely in our control as to who we serve and how far we want to go. The sky's the limit!

To your success!

"Hide not your talents. They for use were made. What's a sundial in the shade?" -Benjamin Franklin
