Daily LaunchTip, April 15, 2009

April 15th, 2009 · 10 Comments

From Jennifer Covello Founder, President Frittabello, LLC  

One of my new favorite quotes is “Be yourself. Everyone else is already taken”, by Oscar Wilde. What I like most about this is that it clearly states the importance of authenticity, of being true to yourself, which is important in your business and in your personal interactions as well. It’s so easy to spot those who are forcing themselves into a mold or a role in which they clearly do not fit. When you take the time to examine and realize your own strengths and the value you bring, you can be yourself and the people around you will be drawn to you. In today’s impersonal world, isn’t it refreshing when you meet someone who knows who they are, is confident in the value they bring, and illustrates it regularly? Take the time to find out your strengths, determine the full value that you bring, and then share it!

I love this post. Thank you. I just returned to America after designing in Bangkok. My ideals have changed, in a positive way and my designs are different. So standing strong in my individuality is crucial upon my re-entrance. Thank you!

A beautiful tip! It reminds me of a story I love:

When Michelangelo was asked how he created The David out of the block of marble, he said, “I simply chipped away everything that wasn’t David.”

Thank you,

Brilliant tip! indeed.
When you are yourself, you can pace yourself.
Build character not a reputation that you don’t deserve.

Thanks

Thanks for this reminder. In the midst of a start-up company and I sometimes forget to step back and “smell the roses”…and remember why I am doing this.

Thanks,

When you allow your true self to shine so many amazing people will appear on your path. Stop worrying about how the other person is doing it ”make it your own way.”

Many Blessings,

After working on my business for over a year, I’ve learned many lessons, including discovering that being true to myself, my vision and my passion is the key. I like myself too much to be somebody else.
