What Do You Not Like About Your Face?

Summary

• When talking to experts, it's important to take initiative and identify what you don't like about yourself. This makes you more likely to accept their professional advice.
• If someone points out your flaws directly, you may feel defensive and discredit the feedback. Identifying your own flaws first creates a more open-minded environment for receiving advice.
• A useful strategy in conversations is to use self-reflection. For instance, ask others what they see as problems they want to solve, rather than telling them what's wrong.
• Giving feedback without making someone feel demeaned or insulted is crucial. Always be considerate in how you phrase your observations.
• Using tools like a magnifying mirror can help in self-assessment where every little detail is visible. This helps in recognizing areas that need improvement without feeling attacked.

How To Take Action

I would suggest implementing a few key strategies to boost your personal growth or business without spending much money or time. Start by looking inwardly and identifying things you want to improve. Instead of waiting for others to point out your flaws, ask yourself what specific areas you feel need work. This helps you be more open to feedback and advice.

For example, if you're an entrepreneur and feel your customer service needs improvement, write down exactly what you think could be better. Then, when you talk to experts or mentors, you’ve already paved the way for constructive advice.

A good way of doing this in your business or personal life is to engage in self-reflection regularly. Ask people around you what they see as problems worth solving. This shifts the focus from blaming to problem-solving, creating a collaborative environment.

When giving feedback, always be considerate. Use phrases that focus on the issue, not the person. For instance, instead of saying, "You’re not good at answering emails," you could say, "I think we could improve our response time for emails."

Using a magnifying mirror can be a practical tool for self-assessment. It allows you to see the finer details of what you’re working on, be it physical appearance or another area of personal development. This can be a powerful way to recognize areas for improvement without feeling criticized.

Finally, make these practices routine. Consistently reflect on your performance, seek feedback, and offer constructive feedback to others in a kind manner. These small, actionable steps can create significant growth over time for yourself and your business.
