Business:Entrepreneurship
Want: have a desire to possess or do (something); wish for.
Expectation: a strong belief that something will happen or be the case in the future.; a belief that someone will or should achieve something.
Every time I speak, every time I do a sales presentation, I want to find out what the audience expects from our time together.
It's a great opportunity to break the ice and tweak my presentation to meet the expectations of the audience.
The other day when I spoke to middle schoolers, I started out my talk with, ‘what do you expect from me over the next 40 minutes.’
A girl joked, “a dollar” and everyone in the class burst out in laughter.
I had a dollar in my pocket, so I asked her if she was sure she wanted a dollar. She smiled and said "yeah."
The look on her face, and the face of her classmates, when I pulled out the dollar bill was priceless.
She said, "are you for real Mr.?"
I said, "yes, you expect a dollar, I have a dollar so I’m giving it to you. Too bad you didn’t ask for more than a dollar."
In our society we are strong with our wants and weak with our expectations, yet expectations is the key to achieving success from yourself and others.
Do you want to succeed? Or do you expect to succeed?
You got it, now go #getit
