Horn Tooting

“It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.” – Harry Truman

Someone asked me recently why I don’t put myself out there more as a coach and nutritionist. Why I don’t do more advertising. I told them I am too busy with the excitement of my work! I am too busy doing what I love! But I am trying to find a way to authentically present myself in a non-sales way where I can be honest and authentic but not pushy or salesman like. After all, I don’t want everyone to want to work with me, I only have so many hours in a week. But I do want those who are willing to give me some faith. I can do magic with these clients.

But rarely will you see me toot my own horn especially when it comes to my accomplishments. I have plenty of opportunity to do so, but I would prefer to give the attention to my athletes and clients through my work. I do this because I have always felt that it gets in the way of me being able to help those that I serve. Not to mention I hate feeling like a salesman.  

The truth is, I am turned on by the work and not the accomplishments. So I tend to want to just talk about modalities for success and not the success that I have already created. I know that when I apply the pressure of constant work, the consequences are success! I don’t need to keep score. I can feel the success in the love I have for my days and in the satisfaction I get from all the interactions I have helping my clients.

At the end of the day, I don’t want more accolades. I want the exhilaration of the process. I want the feeling of the love the hunt! For me this is where the juice is! 

I am love. I am joy. I am in love with the hunt.
