Are you letting your freak flag fly? Or is your flag folded up in a box in the basement?
Is your life full of juicy goodness? Or is it mostly dry and crusty?
Being a freak is about finding the right fit between your unique characteristics and the situation you put yourself in. I usually talk about finding or creating the right work situation but there is another aspect of finding the right fit that is very important.
We have to find the right people, our people, people that just get us and accept our flaws. Better yet, people that don't even see our supposed flaws. People that see the strengths that correspond with each of our flaws.
Leah Shapiro is one of those people. She is a coach that helps people to find and flaunt their inner freak. She is different and proud of it. She wants to help you create financial success and personal fulfillment by breaking free of the average 'pre-packaged life.'
When we met, I didn't have to explain the freak factor. She understood it immediately. I didn't have to water it down. She was probably ready to take the concept farther than I ever had.
That is how you know when you've found your people. It's easy. It's natural. It's a perfect fit.
Leah and I will be talking about the freak factor tonight on Defy the Box Radio. If you have any questions about discovering or applying your distinctive characteristics, give us a call. You can also listen live, Tuesday, November 10 at 9pm EST or get the recording if you can't join us. Click here for the details.

Leah
