If you do not show people what you can do, people won’t know. If you want people to know what you are selling, what you can offer, you must promote yourself. You must put yourself out there. Above all, you must be vulnerable.

In his book Awaken Your Genius: Escape Conformity, Ignite Creativity and become Extraordinary, Ozan Varol writes, ‘If you don’t promote your book, the readers won’t come. If you don’t promote your product or your service, the customers won’t come. If you don’t promote yourself, the job offers won’t come.’

‘If you want people to know you, to know who you really are, you must promote yourself.’

They won’t come to you. You have got to leave your comfort zone. Do not let fear cripple your dreams. Whatever you have, promote it. Nothing is perfect. Remember, according to Ozan Varol, ‘Self-promotion is not an act of shame. It’s an act of love- for others who want what you created.’

"Climb unto the topmost bights, 
win yourself an honored name, 
but respect another's rights,
raise the weak and help the lame;
strength of muscle or of mind 
gives no right to be unkind."- Edgar Albert Guest

It doesn't matter where you are,
where you want to go,
to get there, to stay there, you must raise other people up.

Raise others. Do not forget the weak.
You can't promote yourself without promoting yourself.

To get to where you want to go, you must not leave anybody behind.
You are not a success if your people are not doing well.
As a leader, your job is not to leave people behind.
It is to lift them up. People don't like to be stuck.
They want to grow. If you can lift then up, 
if you can give then what they want and need, you are their God.
And they will never forget you.
