How to Get Out of Obscurity and Why It Matters: Everyday You Should Be Selling Yourself

Hey friends! Gabe Salinas here, owner and founder of Window Ninjas, also known as the World’s Greatest Window Cleaner!  Have you ever thought about what it takes to become the world’s greatest in your field?

It’s time to get real for a moment. In our whirlwind world, staying hidden is the last thing you want when aiming for success. Whether you’re running a business, building a career, or just trying to leave your mark, selling yourself isn’t just wise—it’s essential. Each day is a fresh chance to remind yourself that you’re here to impact millions. But how do you shake off the shadows and step into the spotlight?

The Blueprint For Success: Grab Attention, Create Critics, and Earn Admiration

Success isn’t a quiet affair—it demands attention. And let’s be honest, when you start turning heads, criticism is never far behind. But here’s the kicker: criticism means you’re on the radar. It’s your badge of honor. Let it drive you. When the critics get loud, it’s your cue to double down and keep doing what you’re doing. That’s the magic recipe for turning critics into admirers.

Think about it this way: You’ve got a youngster, and he is bound and determined to run across the street to play with his buddy!  Do you teach him to look both ways, or ignore him because you don’t want him to be critical of your words and tone? If you choose that route – you will never feel or receive his admiration! Are you going to shy away from a tough talk because he might push back? 

Heck no! You jump in, knowing that saving his life is worth any backlash. In your career, it’s the same deal. Criticism is just noise. Stay focused on your mission to help others. After all, solving problems equals earning money! The more problems you solve, the more people you help and the more valuable you become! 

What Greatness Has In Common

Greatness isn’t an accident, folks. It’s about diving in headfirst and being all in—dedication, total commitment, and a sense of duty. The greats don’t just show up; they immerse themselves. They’re on a mission, driven by a purpose bigger than themselves.

When you’re this committed, criticism becomes fuel, not a roadblock. It pushes you forward, inching closer to your goals and the admiration of your peers.

The Path Forward

So here’s the plan: Never stop. Keep selling yourself, not with empty boasts but by showcasing the value you bring. Your dedication will spark others, stirring admiration and forming connections.

Remember, every critic is a sign you’re making waves. Use that momentum to keep pushing, to make a real difference. Embrace the grind, stay committed, and transform from obscurity into a beacon of inspiration. Every day is your stage to sell yourself, to uplift others, and to carve out a legacy worth sharing.

So what do you say? Are you with me? Are you inspired to get out there and make some noise? Let me know your thoughts, and be a superstar and share this with your friends. You know what they say – sharing is caring! Stay Awesome and Keep Shining!
