It can be easier to settle and not take action but making a determined decision about what matters to you will mean you can move towards the results you want and understand that any pain on the journey is hugely outweighed by the rewards you will achieve Sign up to Jessen's webinar here: https://bit.ly/bizwm   KEY TAKEAWAYS Anyone can choose to stand out, anyone can choose to make a dent and everyone can disrupt an industry. Not everyone is willing to take the hits and do what they need to do to get to where they want to be because it’s a path full of rejection and negativity Being someone who chooses to stand out is about managing the anxiety every day. You are always on the edge and not everyone can deal with that Anybody can stand out and make a difference, it’s the choice and bravery and the willingness to take what comes with it A lot of people  settle instead of taking action to achieve what they want If you make a determined decision the results and rewards outweigh the pain to get there If you are always stuck on the ‘how’ you won’t ever move. When things matter you find the time, space and energy and make them happen If it matters to you, you find a way With mindset, you have to find what works for you Mindset is an evolution it’s a process that’s never-ending It’s better to start and learn as you go along because the results will outweigh doing nothing Fail forward, if you are going to fail do it moving forward and learn. Immediate results don’t happen it’s about working hard day by day and moving forward bit by bit Be more giraffe is about rising above the crowd for all the right reasons  BEST MOMENTS ‘Public speaking exposes every part of your life’ ‘You can stand out in different ways and at different levels’ ‘Stand out for being you, you will get judged so get judged for being the best version of you’  VALUABLE RESOURCES Business, Wealth and Mindset podcast series    Speaker Express ABOUT THE GUEST ELLIOT KAY For the last decade, Elliot has worked with Business Owners, Entrepreneurs, MD’s & Investors in order to help them stand out when they are public speaking, pitching or looking to win business through public speaking.  Elliot’s unique and effective structures, impactful delivery training and teaching “language that lands” has helped them to hone their messaging, perfect their stories and thus win them more business.  Elliot’s best-selling books include “Speak Influence Sell”, “Power To Succeed” and has also written, “It’s Your Right To Be Wrong”.
