Morning Motivator – Personality Wins the Day

"A good personality overcomes many shortcomings.  Being likeable is as important as any other feature."

There is something beautiful about a GREAT smile and a WARM personality.  It is INFECTIOUS on many levels and always seems to attract the best of the best out of people.  Agree?

What if you were able to make yourself more APPROACHABLE to the people that surround you?  What if they felt openly COMFORTABLE to speak to you on varying matters?  Does it matter if you are the AUTHORITY on the subject matter?  Likely not.  What IS critical is being easy to talk to, trustworthy and WILLING to listen…

Does this mean that everyone with a WINNING personality guarantees success?  Be serious… of course not, YET… it sure does give a LEG UP on everyone else that has similar (or even more) talents.

2 DEGREE SUCCESS STEP:
How does one GET personality?  Your parents.  Sorry, I DO NOT yet believe that you can manufacture personality.  You seem "fake" if you try to do so.

How does one become more PERSONABLE?  Well, now that IS possible.  Make yourself APPROACHABLE.  Make yourself ACCESSIBLE.  Make yourself a RESOURCE to the people around you.

You will find that most people LIKE people with whom they feel they can easily associate.  The FUNNY thing about it all is that if you learn to ASK QUESTIONS, SHUT UP and LISTEN, you will easily be liked and labeled as having GREAT PERSONALITY.

Smile, be friendly, be engaging, available and approachable… then most of all – LISTEN!  Everyone loves to talk and your ability to listen will INCREASE your likeability.

Cheers,
Zach
