The Gift ONLY YOU can Offer

I saw this present under the tree and it got me thinking...
 

You have a gift to offer others.

You and ONLY YOU can offer this gift because no one has lived the exact same life that you have.

In my last post 'What's the compelling event that makes you essential in any economy?'  I outlined a three step framework to help anyone sell anything. Last time I started with the third question.

The three questions are:

1. Why do the people you are selling to buy anything?
2. Why buy you?
3. Why buy now?

Today we are focusing on the second question.

I love the idea that every person on this planet offers a distinct and valuable gift, and that there is a group of people out there that are eager to accept it if only they knew about it, and it was packaged in a way that was exciting to receive and open.

Sit with this idea and let the questions below and scenario of offering a gift only you can offer to some eager person (or group) run through your mind and heart.

Think about:
  • What is my gift? 
  • Why is it essential that I share my gift? 
  • Who is most eager to receive it?
  • When are they most eager? 
  • What positive change or difference will occur for them as a result of their receiving it?
  • What abilities and experiences allow you to offer this gift with an open, courageous heart?
Any gifts that surface for you that you are excited about are worth sharing with others. Don't spend too much time thinking about it. You will only know the answer to 'why you?' by being out in the world and sharing who you are with others.

So...what is one way you could share your gift this holiday season?
