Your ambitions - a thought experiment

A quick exercise:

Imagine this...

It's 2-3 years from now.

Someone has written an article about you. Or you've appeared on a podcast or have been featured on someone's blog.

•Where has it appeared?

•What is it about?

•What does it say about you?

This is not a competitive exercise, in that your answer doesn't have to be a mega-publication like the New York Times or a TV show like Good Morning Britain. It just needs to be what's appropriate for you at this time.

It'll just help you think a little more clearly about how you'd like to see yourself or your work framed at some point in the future.

Meditate on your answer for a while.

  • What does it tell you about the scale of your ambitions?
  • Does it help you imagine what sort of public profile you would like for yourself?

There's an article later in the toolkit that explains how to attract the attention of influential people - it shows how to turn this experiment into something that gets results...

Hint:

It's worth coming back to this idea from time to time as your confidence grows.
