Hi everyone.
Well now that I have finished reading Blair Singer’s book on building a business team, I have started in on his book Little Voice Mastery. It is basically about that inner voice that speaks to you throughout the day, giving you positive, and sometimes negative, feedback – depending on the situation.
I read the introduction and was looking forward to diving into the book when I saw the notice from Blair. He insists that you complete your little voice mastery “diagnostics” on his website before you read the book. This is kind of a check point, so you can take the test again after reading the book.
I was hoping the results would be somewhat meaningful, and perhaps emailed to me so I could share them. The site gave a bar graph representation of the different areas of little voice mastery, with a rating from 0-3 for each area. Three being the highest rating, zero being the lowest.
It is probably just as well that I can’t reproduce the results here, because I scored a three in a handful of areas, some twos, ones, and yes more than one ZERO!
At this point I’m going to rewind the tape to when we first saw Blair’s presentation at the Rich Dad Forum. I liked that he was a good presenter, and had written books on business teams, and sales, which are two areas I’m very interested. He also gave an overview of his Little Voice Mastery System. Well, all my voices were impressed by his information and approach about sales, and we ended up purchasing a bunch of his stuff.
My Little Voice said – “we don’t need that stuff on Little Voice Mastery! We are doing just fine without Blair!”
I think of myself as being confident, personable, successful, and deserving of success – among other good qualities. All day every day.
I also know that I tend to have a bad (!) temper, that I watch over all day every single day. I have known this since I was about 8 years old.
Other than needing to watch my temper, I figured I had a pretty good control over this so called Little Voice….
Well let me tell you folks, it is easy to control your Little Voice when things are going well, but if you find yourself in a stressful, painful, or emotional situation believe you me your Little Voice will go CRAZY!
And when I say you, I mean me!
My Little Voice has been going absolutely bonkers this week. Pretty much all week long. Everything came to a head yesterday when I completely lost control of my temper over something relatively minor in my life. Ooops!
So, in spite of my Little Voice’s protests, I know it is time for me to learn more about my Little Voice, and how to master it. The diagnostic test only confirmed what I already knew.
I’m curious to see how effective Blair’s techniques are, and if I score any better on the test after I finish reading his book. I’ll keep you posted.
I hope you have a good awareness of your own Little Voice, and take good care of yourself, and those around you, every day.
Have fun, and good luck!
