Dear Friends,
With Valentine's Day drawing near, I wanted to take this opportunity to let you to know who I am and what I believe our relationship is all about.
I have a set of 'Guiding Principles' by which I would like to conduct my life and have a relationship with you.
I hold my 'Guiding Principles' as a very important part of my daily experience.
Since you and I are now entering into a relationship where I serve as your advisor, guide and teacher, I believe it is important you know where I am coming from.
Especially since you are taking advice from me.
It is important you know what my 'Guiding Principals' are.
As you become more familiar with my work and you feel more comfortable communicating with me, I would invite you to email me your thoughts on what guides you in your life.
Here are my beliefs that guide my life and can also guide our new relationship.
Being An Advisor Is For Life
I believe you are seeking advice and counsel that will best serve your life. Therefore, I conduct myself as your Trusted Advisor for life, rather than as writer, author, speaker and trainer who is sending you emails or blogging.
I believe you read my blog for my energy, my insight, my wisdom and my advice. I do not take that role lightly. I am honored that I can contribute at this important level in your life.
I believe that only when I provide you with what you need and have earned your trust, then and only then, will you invest your time and attend my live events.
Connecting With The Heart Is Essential
I believe that the only way genuine communication can be given is when it comes from love.
Love is the best-kept secret of all.
I seek to come from the ‘heart’, which means I really care about you and I am willing to set aside my own agenda for you.
I will share things about my life with you.
You will get to know where my heart is and when you are comfortable, I invite you to share with me where your heart is.
I would love to know who you are and how I can best serve you through my daily writing.
Close Relationships Are Best
I believe that relationship bonding is how I best create lifelong relationships.
When I bond with you, you will then tell me everything I need to know to be successful inside our relationship.
However, if I just serve you as another reader of my blog, you will stick around as long as it is convenient, but will feel no loyalty. Therefore, with Jeffrey's Journal I choose to create a good, strong bond with you and remain professional.
Great Decisions Are Values Based
I believe that my decisions are easy when my values are clear.
Therefore, I will do my best to get clear on my values before I give you advice and insight.
I have experience in my 15+ years of coaching that when I focus on my values I gain clarity, which gives me certainty, which ultimately provides me with the trust that I need to take action.
Speaking The Truth, I Become Trustworthy
I believe you have a hierarchy of trust within every relationship you’re in.
Therefore, for you to trust me, I have to extend myself by being available, by volunteering information, by sharing my personal experiences, and by making connections with my experiences and aspirations of you.
I believe that trusting you encourages you to trust me; distrusting you makes you lose confidence in me.
Building Competencies And Wisdom Is Crucial
I believe that when I combine my competency with common sense, good judgment, and lots of experience, I know you get my best expertise.
Therefore, I am constantly building on my core competencies and my inner wisdom, becoming a lifelong learner, so I can better serve you with daily insight and wisdom to help you become more referable.
These principles have been tested and challenged and continually prove to create enjoyable, healthful businesses and joyful personal lives.
In closing
Everyday I read this a passage from Marian Williamson's book, “Return To Love”.
Each time I read it, it inspires me to be the highest version of myself. I now share with you a copy and invite you to pass it on.
Play Big
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be—brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
Your playing small doesn’t serve the world.
There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.
We were born to manifest the glory of that is within us.
It’s not just in some of us, it’s in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
~Marian Williamson
I look forward to writing to you daily for as long as you find value. I invite your questions and comments and will respond to each one of them in the timeliest manner possible.
Go For It
