Humble triumphs ego hands down. Not only is it important to be humble in your entrepreneurial endeavors, it’s equally important to be humble in all aspects of your life. You can still convey power and strength without ego. Human beings have an innate sixth sense that enables us to determine if someone is genuinely humble or not. Humbleness somehow transcends all communication barriers and can have a very positive impact on others. Here’s an example…. I once met Mr. Jimmy Russell, the legendary Master Distiller at Wild Turkey Distillery in Kentucky. During the course of our discussion he said “I’ve been here 62 years and never worked a day in my life……it ain’t work if you love what you do.” That comment immediately struck a chord deep in my soul. To see the look on his face and the conviction in his voice is something I’ll never forget. He conveyed power and strength while remaining sincerely genuine and humble. I felt it in my soul. It still makes me feel good to this day. That’s the kind of impact you want to have on your tribe.

This is a great start Marcia! Keep going… 🙂

Thanks!

Robert – that’s compelling and it’s more of a belief or a motto than it is a description of your voice. There are many comments that readers left here that are voice words.

Thanks for the feedback Robert.

I teach this in-depth at Message to Money Live, in my Personal Brand Power course and to my Mentorship students during a 3-day workshop. I did give a lengthy example in the blog post above of the Live Your Message Brand Voice that you can look to that for inspiration.

The mistake I’m seeing people make is focusing on what they do when this is an exercise in the tone and voice behind what you do.

There is only so much I can do in a blog and blog comments. 🙂

I tell everybody: (The difficult we do immediately. The impossible takes an extra two weeks.) Not our brand voice to be sure but when someone calls and says they were told to call us because we know how to do everything…… We have surely developed brand awareness. Now please help me find my brand vioce. ………. Bob

Powerful Shel… and it’s more about what you do than how you make people feel. What’s your voice about?
