Missed Opportunities
If it's not something you are in contention for, you are in no position to be disappointed provided you don't finish on the podium

Fundamentally Well Suited
Independent as to how appealing you believe all else you have to offer is, until you are perceived to be the best suited to help your target audience address the problems they consider of the greatest importance, you are focusing on aspects that are not yet relevant.

When To Incentivise
If they aren't interested to begin with, they can't be incentivised. On the contrary, regarding those interested, incentivising when unnecessary will adversely influence the perceived value of the product or service you are providing.

Uncomfortable Conversations
Until had, the conversations you are avoiding will remain the reason your customers aren't receiving your undivided attention, often at the detriment of the service provided.

Environmental Factors Matter
When starting out time is all you have, if not used efficiently, your story will end the same way it started, with talk of intent.

Selfish Ambitions Yet Perceived As Selfless.
Given what we value is subjective, having an understanding as to what your intended audience are likely to appreciate and incentivising accordingly, despite having selfish intentions can result in you being perceived as selfless.

Profit From Making Mistakes
If you want to be trusted, be transparent. If your ambition is truly to help others, talk of not only your successes, but your failures.

Too Much To Choose From
The more choices you provide your audience with, the more opportunity you are giving them to justify indecisiveness.

Preemptive Measures
Without an understanding as to what is fair to expect and required, you are vulnerable and in no position to outsource anything.

Evidence Makes All The Difference
You are having to argue your ability as you are yet to efficiently communicate how good you are at what you do and why your time is worth what you are asking for in exchange.

It Could Be For You, You Are Just Lazy.
No one is great at anything they try the first time. Provided your interest is predicted by your ability initially, you won't ever be great at anything.

Not Yet Certain, No Referrals.
If you aren't being recommended, your customers aren't yet confident their friends will be satisfied with the quality of the service provided.

Don't Tell Me, Show Me.
Your intended audience is always going to be more inclined to consider what those with nothing to gain by speaking highly of you have to say about your services compared to that which you have to say regarding something they understand you directly benefit from the sale of.

It Won't Work For You.
Methods reliant on Talent aren't replicable, as such me teaching of what proved viable for me given my talents only benefits those with similar talents. I believe my time is best spent talking of the steps I took to better understand what was likely to work for me to help you find what ever it is that was always destined to work for you.

Whose Opinion Matters?
If you aren't particular as to whose opinions you value, you are in no position to expect those with particular interests to pay attention.

More Opinions, More Problems
Do not fear judgement from those that aren't in support of whatever it is you are doing, instead empathise, anyone paying attention to anything that isn't of interest to them is doing so to avoid dealing with problems of their own.

No One Can Take Advantage Of You Without Your Consent
If you haven't made apparent when it is most viable to contact you, you are in no position to be disappointed should your customers reach out at their convenience.

Be Respectful To Be Respected
In a room that values hard work, if you aren't the hardest working, you are not in a position to call the shots.

Half The Story, Entirely Liable.
Without context, anyone inclined to have an opinion is not someone worth valuing the opinion of.

Long Term Ambitions, Short Term Mindset.
You will never be paid attention to for reasons you haven't made an effort to be recognised for, nor will doing what is convenient short term deem your long term ambitions any more attainable.

If Nothing Changes Nothing Will Change.
You cannot expect methods that have proven viable in the past to be effective should your intended outcome change. If you want a different result, change the formula.

You Are Not Deserving Of The Attention You Aren't Paid.
If no one is buying what you are selling, either what you are selling isn't considered by your intended audience good value or you are yet to efficiently communicate to them why what ever it is you are selling is well suited to them.

The Cost Of Pride
For as long as you are disregarding bad feedback, you are making apparent it is your pride you value most and therefore, given your customers are not your first priority, you are in no position to complain that your business isn't doing as well as you had hoped it would.

Win or Learn
Each instance things do not go as planned represents an opportunity to learn, should the way such a loss leaves you feeling be incentive enough to consider what you could have done differently.

Unrealistic Expectations
No matter how good your aim, you can't hit a target you can't see, nor can falling short of expectations that have not been effectively communicated be held against anyone.

Sidetracked With Sharn: More To Lose, More Reasons To Be Accountable.
No one takes pride in having nothing to lose nor is accountability often an issue for those understanding of the sacrifices necessary to achieve what they have.

Overcompensating Results In Entitlement.
The less often children are told no, the more expected a yes becomes, resulting in entitlement and reducing the likelihood of them ever being able to put things in perspective.

Adversity Is Foundational.
Should context regarding what you do and don't like, what you are and aren't good at be the outcome, regardless as to the perception others may have, it's not a step backwards.

Successful By Your Standards.
Should the reason you do the things you do be attributed to or influenced by a perspective that isn't your own, you could be happier.

Proud For The Wrong Reasons
Failing to communicate to your child the attention they are paid by you isn't dictated by how close they come to meeting your idealistic expectations, predicated by your interests, will result in eventual resentment.

No Surprises, No Risk Of Resentment
If allowing your audience more context than you have already could adversely effect their perspective regarding your intentions, you are already at risk of those invested in you feeling deceived should all that you have deliberately withheld become apparent.

Just Choose
Speculating results in no more context than doing nothing does, nor will you ever know what difference opting for the alternative would have made anyway.

It's Never The Customers fault
You are liable for the customers opinion of the service provided, independent as to their expectations. Should such expectations be unrealistic, resulting in disappointment, it is your fault for not having the uncomfortable conversation necessary to begin with to make apparent what is and isn't to be expected of you.

Identifying Your Talents
If it's not difficult to find someone better at it than you, it is not that which you have the greatest chance at being regarded for.

Merit Makes All The Difference
If you are doing it for "free" and no one is interested, you are yet to efficiently communicate to anyone as to why, despite it being at no cost financially to them, the time spent doing what ever it is you would like them to is worth it and could not be better spent.

Are you good enough?
If you are good enough comparatively, good things will happen. Failing to realise this, assuring yourself persistence will make the difference for the sake of your pride, will result in disappointment.

Precautionary Measures
Wilful ignorance regarding foreseeable problems will result in you finding yourself with less leverage than you could have otherwise had and out of desperation, having to settle as opposed to having a choice.

Remembering Why Part 2
An all or nothing approach justifies inaction should such an approach potentially be at the expense of the livelihood of those dependant on you, those you would never risk jeopardising the welfare of. With enough small steps in the right direction, although it may take longer, the outcome will be no different.

Remembering Why Part 1
You will be your happiest when you get to do whatever you want to do, whenever you want to do it. To reach such a point, you must first do whatever is best for your business whenever required, for as long as necessary. The question isn't can it be done, the question is your WHY important enough to you to forgo the leisure you are relying upon to escape your current reality?

Efficiently Creating Awareness
If no one is buying what you are selling you are yet to efficiently create awareness regarding the value of that you have to offer compared to that you are asking for in exchange. Provided conversion isn't the issue, rather retention, no one but you believes what you are asking for is worth what you have to offer.

Sidetracked With Sharn: More Opinions More Problems
Decisions regarding your life, regarding your best interests should be the easiest to make, the reason they aren't, the reason you often find yourself overwhelmed is because you choose to value the opinions of others, despite the little context you have allowed them to avoid liability.

What Is Optimal Isn't Always Viable
What is optimal in theory makes no difference provided you have no intention of taking action. Independent as to what the statistics suggest, independent as to what has proven viable for most, if it's something you aren't motivated to do, it's not going to work for you.

Can't Work Tirelessly At Anything That Exhausts You.
If it's something you would do regardless because you enjoy it and you are fortunate enough to be good at it, you have found that which you are most likely to make an impact regarding. Every hour invested in that outlet, in that skill, in that service will reduce the likelihood of you still having to work a job you don't like to afford a lifestyle you have settled for.

Helping With An Agenda Is Manipulation
Not every helping hand is lent with the best interests of those in need of help at heart. Should your first priority be anything other than a resolution when offering to help, what you are in fact intending to do is manipulate.

Sidetracked With Sharn: Episode 2
In this episode, Sharn , Jayden and I advise as to how to identify those with hidden agendas, touch on the importance of accountability, make reference to compliments potentially resulting in delusion, why being honest is always a good idea and the importance of contextual relevance.

Sidetracked With Sharn
In this series Sharn and I shall be making apparent our perspectives regarding all things we believe to be at the potential expense of ones happiness.

What You Are Good At Matters
What is optimal makes no difference provided you aren't excited to do it. The alternative that leaves you enthused, that results in action is better than talk of intent, no matter how idealistic.

Educating Your Intended Audience
Perception is shaped by understanding. You don't get to judge for the customer, you never will, you can however educate the customer regarding your point of difference to influence their perspective regarding the service you provide and what you are asking for in exchange for such a service.

Looking Back In Order To Move Forward
Reflection regarding that which you are regretful of is necessary should you wish to better understand what you can do differently to render you less likely to make the same mistakes again, given the context the decisions you are regretful of have resulted in.

Prioritising Happiness
Conversations regarding what success looks and feels like should not end with those involved in agreeance. Success, what success is, what being successful means to you shouldn't be agreed upon, rather supported and respected by those you are having such a conversation with. If you are successful by your standards, that is all that matters and the ambition should be, independent as to what your definition of success is, to wake up in a good mood each and every day.
