I had the pleasure of waking up to this gem in my inbox.
What Matters Now?
By Seth Godin
The ebook features more than seventy big thinkers, each sharing an idea for you to think about as we head into the new year.
From bestselling author Elizabeth Gilbert to brilliant tech thinker Kevin Kelly, from publisher Tim O’Reilly to radio host Dave Ramsey, there are some important people riffing about important ideas here.
My own important idea, theme for 2010 and riff today is “Originality”
You saw me get on my soap box earlier this year with the How Does She Do It? Tele-Series. We explored the comparison trap as it relates to business and how our tendency to seek external validation along with a follow the leader approach to model the success of celebrity gurus can be a slippery slope that sabotages confidence and authenticity.
(Think Dove’s Campaign for Real Beauty… but, for business.)
A woman in business online who embraces originality rarely falls into the comparison trap. This is because being original requires creativity, innovation, honesty, self-acceptance and caring enough about what you really want (and knowing what you really want) to stake your claim, to stand out, to be remarkable and to take action!
Download the eBook now and enjoy! It’s totally free and if you love it… share it! (Sharing can be as simple as clicking the tweet me button at the top of this post)
So, what important idea do you want to share going into the New Year? I’d love for you to post them below

Thanks Gina!
We talk about this a lot (literally, I mean you and talk about about it together…not just “we” as in the general heart-centered entrepreneur population) and I think it’s really important.
Authenticity is a word that is getting thrown around, BUT the principles of authenticity are golden.
When you live your truth (no matter what others think) you are successful instantly.
It’s very freeing to discover that. I love to tell my clients that I they deserve happiness simply because they are here, in human form.
I hope everyone grab a copy of this free resource…in this day and age there really is no excuse for living a free, happy, authentic life!
Have a beautiful day my friend!

LOL! Sorry, I have too much cold medicine in my system. I MEANT:
In this day and age there really is no excuse NOT to live a free, happy, authentic life!
Freedom is yours for the taking (and often comes in “free” forms…like the mentioned ebook!)

No worries Kim! Thanks for taking the time to comment. I love that you describe originality and authenticity as “freeing”. That is the perfect word to describe the end result. For me, the more authentic, original and true to me that I am, the easier life and business become. The struggle melts away. This is why I’m so passionate about the topic. Struggle in business and life really are optional. ~ Gina xo
