It is a fallacy to believe that God puts every solution directly into your lap. Sometimes, you have to be okay with taking the risk of putting yourself out there. The shameless plug may be seen as annoying, but there is a reason why we call them shameless. It is sad to know that you may have already had an entire conversation with your destiny helper (the person who has the keys to the door you need open), but you were too shy or unaware to share about yourself. Some of us have programmed our minds to be so pessimistic that we miss out on these instances.
I do believe that there is a time and a place for everything, and nobody is saying that you should turn into a 24/7 salesperson but learn to always shine. Being self-aware and expectant can turn a regular meeting or conversation into your next breakthrough moment. Unfortunately, when you are not aware of what you have to offer people or the marketplace, you are not able to capitalize in networking situations. My hope is that by the end of this post, you also gain respect for the shameless plug and learn a thing or two about taking advantage of any situation.
Although the connotation of the word may be a bit negative, I must admit that I respect the effort. Even if I do not agree with someone’s approach, I always try to learn or understand why they do things the way that they do. We always ask the person joining us to introduce themselves to us and our live audience, and we noticed that many people do not take advantage of the moment to “sell” themselves. Often, they will just say their name or what city they are from and proceed to answer the question of the day. The term “shameless plug” refers to someone using any opportunity they have to promote their own self-interest. There is usually one topic that is announced on the day of the show, and people tune-in to hear not only our opinions, but the opinions of anyone bold enough to share. On Sunday nights at 8 pm, my co-host and I have a live show where we invite our audience to join us in having real-life conversations.
