Having been a little angry recently, OK very angry recently, I thought I’d attempt to change my tune before I implode!! Hehe!!
Don’t get me wrong, I haven’t resolved the issues that have prodded at my anger. I can’t yet, but I can at least try to delve into the positive side of life for a while to help me forget the bad 🙂
So, I began thinking about my ‘UNIQUE SELLING POINT’!!
In this post my USP is only for my reference, and not meant to impress or ‘WOW’ outside influences by relating to them my amazingness (I jest)!!! At this moment I just want to think about what I like about me, whether others will share the same opinion of me, who knows, I can’t say for sure!
USP is usually something economists or career guidance people chat about. It is unique to you, so only you know what makes you unique 🙂 In that, there is no wrong or right!!!! Yippeee!!!!! In this post I am assuming you are the product you are trying to sell to the world – which is I suppose exactly what we are and what we try to do!!
USP is important stuff then? Well, it is drawing others attention to your value or what you have that they need.
Yet, I do question it, just a teensy-weensy bit!!! Why should USP be used to buy and sell who you are – why should it be used to get others to invest in you??? Can’t it just be for you and you alone??? I mean if they need a USP to believe in you, then it says more about them that it does about you.
Anyway, just for the sake of this post, I am going to reveal (ta-da!!!) my USP. Even though I sometimes question the purpose of such one sided mechanisms of value, I do think it has a place in some circumstances (fickle eh? Not to be included in my USP)!!!! I suppose I just want to ensure we don’t become hung up on such things; it will never be the end of the world if a USP reveals we are not ALL singing and dancing geniuses!!!
OK – lets talk ME!!!! I feel I have many qualities depending on the circumstances those qualities are being assessed within. I think it isn’t so easy to sum up everything I have to offer the world (see, I can be positive when I need to be)!!!!!!
Anyway just to appease the topic of this post here are some of my USP’s (you might or might not be interested)!!!
**I am great at adapting to any situation**
**I am excellent at communication ~ I love to talk & explain**
**I am empathetic and can listen to what is being said**
**I can sing (oh yes I can)!**
**I have lived in the real world (interpret that how you want to)**
**I have a capacity to learn things & very quickly**
**I have a god memory, especially for faces (I should have joined the police)**
**I possess intuitive skills, which have helped me out on many occasions**
**I am affable, but not weak**
So, these are some of my USP’s;
BUT, WHAT ARE YOURS?????????????????????
What do you have to offer that makes you stand out from the herd????
What makes you you????
Do you ever consider your USP????
