Discover How To Be Authentic Self And Live The Life You Want

In life you must be true to who you are so discover how to be authentic self both in your personal life and in business throughout your career.

Trish Davies here from Build Your AU. I have created this website along with various training programs to help you create your own personal brand. A brand that you can then take to market which is based upon who you are and what you are good at.

You then leverage those to components to attract people who are aligned with you. Those people become your audience, a loyal band of followers who are influenced by what you say and do. People who turn to you and nobody else in their time of need because they know, like and trust you.

Over the last 12 months I have been developing trainings, tools, and resources for my Build Your AU training program. I am about to launch a highly intensive 9-week training program to help you create an online training business. A business that is based upon you, your story and what you are great at.

What I want to do is cover each of the three core pillars that make up the Build Your AU brand. They are authenticity, authority and last but not least audience. I want you to understand the core principles of each pillar which you can leverage in your own business.

A business that will be created over the coming weeks which you can be immensely proud of. Something that impacts people’s lives and importantly for you puts money in your bank account.

Today I want to start with authenticity and share some insights on how to be authentic.

How To Be Authentic Self And Live A Life Of Fulfilment 

I researched online the definition of authenticity and it really comes down to 7 words. They are “the quality of being real or true” so when you have a moment think hard about that statement. It is very powerful and when you live by that you have the power to achieve anything that you want in life.

The world today leaves no space for people who are not being real or true. Everything you do or say goes under a microscope due to the communication channels that are open to us all.

Sometimes people feel they must be like other people which automatically goes against the stamen I referred to. You are a unique creation that has so many talents, gifts and someone who can offer so much value to the world.

Why try and be someone else when you have everything you need right inside of you. When you try and be like other people you are hiding behind a mask of vagueness, deceit and lies so it is time for that mask to be ripped apart.

When you are being authentic you act in ways that show how you feel and represent your true self. Now you only succeed in being authentic if you really understand what your true self looks like. This relies on you being mindful, aware, and acceptant of who you are.

When you are then it will make it easier for you to position yourself and your business in front of the marketplace. Potential leads, prospects and customers will see that you are the real deal and want to work with you. Let’s look at some insights on how to show your authenticity and be your authentic self.

Act On Your Beliefs And Values 

You will have your own beliefs and values that may stem from when you were growing up. You would have been influenced by your family and adopted their beliefs which may not have been aligned with you. Therefore, you may have developed your own and these are the ones which you are truly aligned with.

These are the ones that you must tap back into which should then become present in your daily behaviour. Your beliefs could be religious, moral or any other kind and will be key to making the decisions you do.

As long as those decisions are aligned with your beliefs then you will be showing your authentic side. When you know your true values will help you understand what really drives you in life. Also, your values will help you understand what you enjoy doing, what inspires you and what you want more of.

When you live your life around your values and beliefs you will live a more fulfilled, meaningful, and satisfying life. There is no doubt!

What Words Make You Feel Good 

Here I want to set you a simple exercise, but it will get you thinking. I want you to come up with 10 words that make you feel good and that resonate with you. Basically, these are your values on how you want to live your life day in and day out.

For example, one those words could be charity. Therefore, you could create an action plan and one reason for setting up a business is to donate to charity. This will help and impact peoples lives who are not so fortunate than yourself.

Once you have come up with these 10 words, I want you to write them down. It doesn’t matter if it is pen and paper, a note on your phone, a post it note on your desk. Use a white board if you want to. Write the words down so you see them every day.

Look At What You Like To Do 

You will have certain things that you enjoy doing, things that you regularly do. Make a list of these activities and then look at goals that you have set yourself. If you haven’t got any goals start setting them.

What you then must do is look at what you are doing now when it comes to work and business. This is where the values that you have written down in the previous exercise come into play.

Is what you are currently doing aligned with those values or not? If it doesn’t then you will need to address that and make some changes. Look at how you can bring those activities back into your life and how you can achieve those goals.

Live for the values that show your true authenticity, the ones that make you happy. The ones that will help you achieve your goals.

The three insights I have shared with you will help you become the best version of yourself. You will always act on integrity and honesty therefore become happier in life and show your true authentic self.

Authenticity is the first pillar of my Build Your AU training program. These are just a few insights on how to be authentic self I share many more. If you are enrolled in training program, then I look forward to meeting you on the first training session. If you are not, then there isn’t much time so contact me here and I will do everything I can to get you on.

Helping you build your authenticity, authority and audience.
