Don't be shy

Don't be afraid to use your past successes to promote yourself.

Almost 40 years after the Beatles broke up Paul McCartney is still referred to as "Former Beatle" Paul McCartney." How many times have you heard an entertainer referred to as "Academy Award Winner" or "Platinum Recording Artist"

If you have been honored by your company or trade organization with a distinct honor don't be afraid to promote it and let your customers know.

Everybody wants to be associated with a winner.

Be proud of your accomplishments and don't be afraid to tell the world what you have achieved.
