The next lesson in becoming a super star is creating your own style.  Having a style that is unique to you only helps you to stand out that much more.  Think of some of your own role models.  What gives them their extra little something?

One of my own super star role models has a style of being very loud and holding nothing back.  When you ask this person a question you are going to get the truth whether you like it or not.   Your style can be subtle, quiet, direct, or eccentric.  The point is it is your style.  Go out to YouTube and watch a video of Steve Ballmer, CEO of Microsoft.  He is over the top and explosive in his pitches.  Anywhere else he may appear to be a lunatic, but because he has created a super star status and a style to go along with it, people pay attention.

Your style may be something like wearing crazy ties or cooky glasses.  Whatever the case, it is your style and you have to own it.  You are the only person that can get in the way of your style.  If you are timid at all you won’t be able to pull off your style and no one else will see it either. 

Every notable super star has his or her own way of doing things.  It develops over time and becomes their signature.  So start developing your trademark style now.
