The 1 concept that led me to create opportunities in my life
Have you heard of the book by Tim Ferris called "Tools of Titans" The Tactics, Routines and Habits of Billionaires, Icons and World Class Performers?
I recently picked it up on Audible and I’ve been listening to it on my morning walks with Loya.
I love learning from real life success stories.
Tim was interviewing Gabrielle Reece an American professional volleyball player, sports announcer, fashion model and actress.
Gabrielle shared something so valuable that it stuck with me and I’ve been implementing it.
She shared a concept that she called "Go First".
It’s the idea that while everyone else is waiting for someone else to make the first move (followers) it’s more important to be the leader and "Go First".
Basically be the one that leads and starts first.
Here are some examples to help you create opportunities with the "go first" concept
1. Say you’re in line in a grocery store, be the first one to say hi or start a conversation. So many people are waiting for someone to start the conversation and there are just so many opportunities that exist in that possible conversation.
2. If you’re in class or getting coaching in a group setting, always raise your hand to go first especially when you know the answer to something. Those who go first get more opportunities.
Those are just some examples and you’ll be surprised at how many opportunities will open up to you when you take that initiative to "Go First".
There’s so much opportunity on the other side of the conversation, if you go first.
Personal examples of how I learned to create opportunities
I’ll give you an example of the "go first" concept with my own personal experience applying it to my life.
I recently moved to North Carolina where I didn’t know anybody and one of the first things I knew I needed to do was to get out there and meet new people.
So I went to meetup.com and I joined a women’s golf group because well, I love golf.
The organizer of this group I joined posted an event and I noticed that no one had RSVP’ed so I immediately decided to be the first to RSVP.
I didn’t wait for other people to start RSVP’ing…nope I decided to break the ice and go first.
Later that day after the golfing event, the organizer thanked me for getting the ball rolling.
And what’s really cool is that I was the first one she reached out to to share the details about the next golfing event.
And it all started because I went first.
Creating opportunities when making tough decisions
Another example of this that I can share with you is that I had to make a tough decision 3 years ago when I decided to move to a new network company.
At first, I was waiting for our leadership in my old networking company to make a move, but then I stopped waiting.
I made a decision to go first.
And it was the best decision I ever made, and it served me exceptionally well.
The same can be said when I decided to take my network marketing business to social media.
Back then when I started doing this, no one else was doing it. In fact, we were forbidden to do it.
So as you can imagine I was the black sheep of the team when I decided to do it even though no one else was.
But I am grateful I made that decision to go first and pioneered this, because today I am one of the top social media network marketing trainers.
Creating opportunities - In Closing
Moral of the story? Go first!
Don’t be afraid. Take calculated risks and take action.
Be a decisive leader.
