Business Personalities

A lot of people online hide behind BS anonymous names and facades and don’t ever let anyone near them. Whether this be fear or for some other reason, in todays world of internet marketing, this could very well be causing harm to your business. Branding yourself and your personality puts you heads above those who are unknown.

So many people hide out and pretend to be that which they are not, and the one downfall this will have, even if not instantly seen, is that you will lose. You cannot keep a mask up forever. At some point you may slip, something may change in your life or your perspective and all of a sudden the mask reveals the real you and your customers lose their trust factor, they lose all credibility with you. Everything you spent however long building just crashed at your feet because you weren’t real. After all, you lied, you weren’t true to yourself so why should they buy from you, why should they believe a word you have to say. And then you lose your all mighty dollar.

Wouldn’t it just be better to be yourself and take the customers and keep em for life?

I mean for every person who walks away because I am a young gothic mom to 5 little ones, I have 9 that love me. And my business is built on that. Everyday I receive emails from people that are astonished at the fact I present the real me. Sure, sometimes it would be easier to pretend to be someone else and hide from my real life, but all that will do is bite me in the ass in the end. I would rather come out screaming at the world, letting them know who I am, what I am about and have them love me or hate me for who I actually am than some BS masquerade I decided to try to be. I would much rather build a relationship of trust and credibility from the start. I mean look around you, there are no walls encompassing us all, no boundaries but if you are one way online and completely different in real life you will bleed at some point. You will screw up, it’s inevitable. Or perhaps you crawl outta the hole you are hiding in and hit a Internet Marketing convention and low and behold all those affiliates, associates or colleagues no longer trust you because they do not know you.

Why ruin all you have to hide who you are? Be proud of who you are, where you came from and the shit you’ve been through because without it, you wouldn’t be you. Life is too short to give a rats ass what others think. Live your life and run your business as yourself and for yourself and suddenly, all that seemed too hard, seemed too difficult to overcome is gone. You are no longer trying to adjust to how you think the world wants you to be, but instead being who you want to be and enjoying life and all it entails.
