What happens if you start telling people the truth?

Quite by accident I came across one article in the network. In article for quite a long shelf life. You could even say that it is with a beard, but it is now proved to be very helpful. I think it's because the subject is eternal - honesty.

Honesty and... personal branding. Before branding was basically corporate. Now, personal branding is sometimes more important than the company's brand. How are personal branding and honesty? Directly. Because when you build your brand, you can not be honest people and you find yourself in a self-same trap. And in order to get out, you need to start again to tell people the truth. But the truth is that people do not really like and honesty. And this applies to both the business world and personal environment. What happens if you suddenly start to honestly answer questions and tell us how you really doing?

Who are the best friends: the one who tells the truth, because he is his friend did not care about, or someone who say nothing or say that the choice of a life partner / job / new home / tie very even nothing, just to I like it? As shown, the better the one who assents or throws up his hands. And the one who honestly answered the question in the end is the enemy.

The same goes for work. If you build your personal brand, you have to be successful: to publish beautiful photos of beautiful and successful (but you can with those and those alone) in beautiful people places; to comment in fashion magazines; periodically stars before the cameras and cameras and to please their fans pictures in Instagram and Facebook. And anyone not interested in knowing, even harmful, to know that you really can not stand to be photographed, you already tired to comment, or whatever you want to stay as far away from those with whom constantly flashing on pictures?

But you can not do that, because then you will lose the respect of the public and its customers. You will lose its own brand and as a result, money. But so long, too hard to bear, and sooner or later a man a nervous breakdown because it is constantly lying to themselves and others.

It's like signing a contract with any company - you can not talk about it is bad as long as work with it. But as soon as the contract period is over (or you yourself will break it with all its consequences), you are become free again and can, finally, to express their real feelings towards the brand, with whom It worked. But here is to break a contract with yourself a lot more difficult.

What would happen if you suddenly start to tell everyone the truth? And it will be very fun! Believe me, I know whereof I speak;)

People will stop talking to you

If you start to tell the truth, get ready for the fact that some people will stop talking to you. It may be your family, your friends, your colleagues and your investors. Prepare to be that your environment will change dramatically and this applies both to real people, and your "friends" on social networks.

When telling the truth, it is difficult for someone not to offend. But it is also known that the offense only those who benefits from it. If the person himself is honest with itself, it is very difficult to offend. It can only cause bewilderment by his act.

People might think that you have decided to commit suicide

Imagine what would happen if you start writing your stream only the truth? Chances are, if the day was heavy, every post will look like a suicide note and it will be clearly readable signs manikalno-depressive psychosis.

People will start to think you're crazy

Reading your records or communicating personally with you many starts there is quite natural question: "Are you crazy ?!" It it is possible that they will begin to ask this question to your friends or relatives and interested in your overall mental state. Someone may politely advise a good psychoanalyst.

People will be frightened

People will hang on your labels. Someone might say that you're just trying to stand out among the crowd and be "not like everyone else" (urban madman or mad genius - who will understand?). Someone call an upstart. To tell the truth - the behavior is quite natural for modern Homo sapiens, and no one likes to be at a corporate meeting someone stands up and begins to tell the truth about what is wrong. Very few people like to be told the truth about the notoriously unsuccessful things.

People will find you funny

After surrounding accustomed to your statement, some even find you funny and people will begin to come back to you. It will be interesting, that this time vychudit this crazy? And, most importantly, they will be sure of 100% the truth of what you have said or written. You will become for them almost the only source of news "without censorship". You will become something of the series, which is difficult to break away, only cooler.

People will begin to trust your advice

After getting used to the stage and kick is, people will begin to trust you. Because they will know exactly what you tell them the truth, and not napoete ear beautiful stories just to sell something. They can not love you, they may even be afraid of you, but the advice is still to come. You can become something of a last resort, by King Solomon in his settlement.

You will become free

And the last, the most pleasant stage - you will become free from his golden cage of its own brand, and built himself a new brand, which will not be boundaries. If earlier, you said that you really liked or what you really think of this or that occasion because that feared someone does not please or lose friends, now you can feel free to say what they really think. Because the next will be people who like you because of their own personal preferences, but not because you agree with them only in order to please.

And you will definitely become easier, because now will not have to keep track of what you have written, or what is put, or for those with whom you will now appear in the photographs. You - it's you. And next to you are the people who love you, appreciate you and trust you because of this.

Do not confuse honesty with outright rudeness and crudeness. This freedom does not mean that you can say nasty things left and right. This freedom means that you can now build your personal brand to trust, to make himself only get better and learn to take responsibility for what was said.
