What Do You Want To Be Known For?

By Tricia Scott.

Pull up a chair. We need to talk about something important, which I've been thinking about over the past couple of weeks.

If someone walked up to you today and asked, "So, what do you do?" would your answer light you up or make you want to crawl into the nearest pothole and live there, you know, like, forever?

So many of us are out here trying toanswer questions like:

What kind of business should I start?

What services should I offer?

What's the right niche?
How should I price this thing?

How do I write the perfect About Me page that doesn't sound like I'm being too this or that and like I'm not bragging, but you know, I'm still ah-mazing

How are they working out for you?

It's not you; it's the questions. They are mediocre and designed to keep you stuck in the quicksand of overthinking with a healthy side order of compare and despair.

The better question, the queen-effing-bee of all questions, is this:

What do you want to be known for?

Let that sink in.

Because here's the thing most people miss: Better questions lead to better answers (our fave biz columnist Dino is always telling us this).

And better answers? They build unshakable confidence.

When you really know what you bring to the table - your voice, your values, your magic - it's not even a question anymore. You own it. You walk into rooms differently. You write content that lands. You stop asking for permission and start making decisions like the visionary you are.

So instead of, "What should I do?" try asking,

"What do I already know to be true about what I offer?"

or

"What is so uniquely mine that no one else could replicate it, even if they tried?"

When you start from there, how you talk about your business changes. You go from nervously fumbling your elevator pitch to saying,

"Let me tell you what I'm building, because it matters."

Confidence doesn't come from having all the answers. It comes from asking the right ones and trusting the truth that rises in response.

Here's what I want you to know today: You are already the authority in your business.

Not when you get a fancy title.

Not when you hit 10K followers.

Not when your website looks like a Vogue spread.

Now. Today.

So, if you're feeling stuck or uncertain, flip the script.

Stop asking, What should I do?

Start asking, Who am I here to become? And what do I want to be so wildly known for that they say my name in rooms I've never even stepped into?

Now, that's a question worth answering.

I believe in you (always).
