2 reasons you don't remember people's names

What's up my friend!

 

Do you ever meet someone and instantly forget their name? Something like…

• A few minutes after they tell you their name you forget and have to ask them for a 2nd time, “What was your name again?” 
• Or you walk away thinking something like “That was a great conversation, but what was their name again?
• Or you see that same person a week later and have no clue what their name is?

 

Well, here are two reasons why you forget their name, and how to fix it.

 

1- You forget people’s names because you tell yourself the lie that “I’m bad with names”

 

Every time you say that, you are programming your mind to “quick, delete” so that you can be right about being bad with names.

 

How could you possibly remember their name when you tell yourself over and over that you are bad with names?

 

What, you think you were born with some gene that makes you bad with names?

 

Of course not.

 

It’s a lie. A story. Programming.

 

You’ve heard hundreds of other people say the same thing and like a magic trick, you made it real.

 

I used to tell myself that too, and guess what happened when I started telling myself “I’m great with names?”

 

I remember people’s names.

 

And when I don't, it's simply because I wasn't being present with that person.

 

Which brings me to #2...

 

2- You aren’t present when they tell you their name

 

You are thinking about something else, and then you miss their name all together. Or, it just doesn’t seep in.

 

Next time someone tells you their name, be present and HEAR it.

 

Connect their name to the soul you just met.

See the person who has that particular name and put them together as one.

 

When you do those two things, you’ll become GREAT at remembering people’s names.

 

You don’t need little tricks like “Say their name 3 times during your conversation with them” and then it's easier to remember.

 

Sure, that may help but it’s not necessary.

 

Be present.

Tell yourself a new story that you are great with names.

 

That's all it takes.

 

I used to be terrible with names too.

 

But now I’m great with names.

 

In fact, we met our new neighbors ONCE, late at night, the night we got the keys, when I was exhausted. Haven’t seen them since, but I know that it’s Rachel & Michael.

 

Because I was present.

And I’m great with names.

 

;).

 

Give it a shot and transform the lie that you are bad with names to the truth that you are great with names!

 

Have a great day my friend!

PS- I had a connection call with one of my financial coaches today, Krisstina Wise, and it reminded me of how much of her program has stuck with me since we worked together.

I bring that up to ask you- Are you working with a Coach now to help you transform your life into the one that you really want to be living?

If not, I'd like to invite you to spend 2 days with me where I'll be helping you...

 

• Face 2022 like the champion you are, extract the lessons from this year, and do the deep work it takes to LET GO and have a blank slate to start 2023 from. Without this step, next year will be predictably the same as this year
• Create a rockstar, personalized game plan to make 2023 your championship year
• Create a very clear vision for your life, and for what you will be creating in 2023 -- Without this, you are simply "task managing" and getting through each day as they come. When you have a powerful and authentic vision, it acts as GRAVITY to pull you forward in an energizing way
• Align your energy to the frequency of the type of 2023 that you deeply want

This 2 day event only happens 1x per year.
