Do You Wear a Name Tag?
When I was growing up I always tried to “blend in” and not accentuate the fact that I was the Only kid in school on crutches. Today, as a speaker and consultant, they help me stand out in the crowd. People who hire me may not remember my name but they have said “you know, the guy on the flashy crutches that speaks on money.” Funny how times change. What makes you stand out in a crowd-is it a wheelchair, loss of limbs, or loss of hearing? The challenge is to think outside the box and how that might be put to use to make you stand out from the crowd. Check out a fellow blogger buddy of mine. His name is Scott Ginsberg and he wears a name tag 24/7 to make himself more approachable. The best part-people pay him money to come speak to them about approachability!! Could you use your situation to generate additional income?
