Know Who Influences You And Why

I met this high-energy gent in the comments section right here. He was highly supportive, encouraging, complimentary, and so much more. A guest post came about, and I’m so happy to finally get my act together enough to publish what’s below.

My curiosity got the better of me after reading it and I dug deeper to learn more. Jason is a multi-talented man – he earns his keep coaching, selling artwork, selling photography, writing, and I know there are other ways, too.

We’re getting a hint today of a Ryze Success E-Course (on its way to you) Jason has developed, and he says, “You now have an exclusive sneak peek into a life-changing course that helps people Define Who They Are, which in a world of lost, confused, complexity, is immensely valuable.”

Here’s more from Jason Fonceca of Ryze Online and Ryze Up:

Let’s get right to it.

Check it out — your value is unique, but it’s unique because you’ve copied so many others.

You’ve lived tons and tons of unique experiences, and through those experiences, you’ve been exposed to tons of humanity’s historic role models and legends.

You’re inspired very strongly, by three key people who came before you, whether you realize it or not. That inspirational person who came before may be your Dad, or someone else equally important.

Influences and inspirations are part of every person’s story. (Yes, you can have more than three, but there’s generally three core ones). It looks something like this:

The thing is — it kinda sucks when you have this unique story, brewing inside you, which is the combination and evolution of the people who’ve come before you, and laid the foundations.

As your life grows, you will become the inspiration for someone in the next generation, but you will not be their sole, single, only inspiration — they will have three of their own, contributing to their unique story.

I have a small exercise I recommend to people, to help them zone in on their unique story by clarifying their unique inspirations. I call it The Role Model Overlap, and you can see it below. Hopefully it’s self-explanatory. You write down in the circles three key inspirations in your life. If you want to see a real-life example, mine is detailed in diagram two.

So here’s your next step.

Realize that humanity is a team effort, and the people before you have paved the way and contributed to your story.

Then get a piece of paper, sketch out 3 circles, and write down your inspirations. You’ll gain a ton of clarity on what unique value you bring to the table, and the next time you talk to someone and they ask what you do you’ll say something like “I’m a unique blend of X,Y, and Z, and I’m all me.”

So you have a fun, simple next step — Now share with us! Who are your 3 key inspirations? Who laid the foundation for you?
