I completely agree with what you said in your video. Our overall life - what we do, how we treat people, our "mission" or intention for our life - that sets the stage for everything else. When we are trustworthy, and living our life to our fullest potential, that is attractive to the people around us.
And if we're wanting to expand our "credibility and influence" as you talked about, I completely agree that it has to come out who we already are, or who we are working to become. Figuring out what sparks your interest and then pursuing that is a great place to start. And then sharing that genuinely and with quality is another "next step".
I watched your entire video, and I think you are right on in your assessment of where influence, trust and credibility come from. I've had so many interesting life experiences, exciting adventures, and continue to pursue a variety of passions. I'm finally at a place where I'm interested in sharing my stories and experiences with more than just my local circle of relationships. This is excellent advice for new people on steemit (or any platform for that matter) about how to expand. Live an interesting life; be the amazing unique person you are, and then share that with integrity! Right on and well put!
