Forget Purpose. Life & Your Personal Brand is About Permission to be Yourself. Just ask Beyonce.

People talk a lot about PURPOSE these days.

But I'll dare to say that life is actually more about PERMISSION.

Because if you're in a cage, it's VERY hard to find anything, let alone the meaning of life.

Guess who's NOT in a cage?

--Your toddler (he hasn't been squashed by society yet)

--You Mom's cat (he doesn't even know or care that he needs permission)

--Beyonce (releasing a country song...um what?)

--Jon Stewart (saying lots of risky things on national tv)

--My clients (letting their rogue opinions fly)

And here's a secret: Your cage actually opens from the inside out.

Got this testimonial yesterday from Liz Wendling, a fellow Colorado-living gal.

"Andrea, you opened the flood gates for me. I realized I wasn't being my true self, I was too buttoned up! You were the tipping point I needed to let my rogue opinions fly. I'd been wanting to say that "You can't serve effectively without selling" for a long time, but feared going too much against the grain. With a new profile and braver posts, I just got the exact response I was looking for. Turns out I'm not alone in my opinions!"

See that?

How it was already in her?

How she knew what she wanted to say....and it was just beneath the surface?

How she opened her cage and let herself out?

How I literally gave her PERMISSION to be herself and risk some people not liking it?

********

It's okay to make some waves.....the moon does it all the time.

(I'm sure you've seen that one on Instagram, but that doesn't make it any less true.)

Are you too buttoned up?

Is your turtleneck killing you?

Is it hot in here? (Please pass me an estrogen patch!)

Do you have a strong opinion that's dying to be set free?

Please tell me about it in the comments.

You can be brave and I can help.
