Hey guys,
one of the things I recently started paying more attention to is how world perceives me. Personal improvement is great but there is a side missing. We read ton of stuff and that helps a bit. But to make lasting improvements and changes it takes time and effort.
Pretty much the only real way to see the results of it, is feedback from other people and how they perceive you. Not how I perceive myself, but how my friends do. Sometimes there is a big disconnect here and I've had surprising replies by people (from good to bad). And I'm confused sometimes why.
Miscommunication is what's happening. One way to learn more about this weakness (or more like being unaware of things and learning them) would be this website, I've used it recently with some people I respect on an entrepreneurial forum. Gave me food feedback. I suggest checking it out and doing it (maybe with your fellow Fastlane members). Works really simple too - I got a link to share with anyone where they can leave annonymous feedback. Annonymous feedback is good because it lets people be more honest as they are usually scared to give honest feedback.

There are also some good books on the topic, like:
No One Understands You and What to Do About It by Heidi Grant Halvorson - digs deeper and explains how this miscommunication happens.

or
How the World Sees You by Sally Hogshead - follow up to her great book Fascination Advantage. She's a master at communication and it's a great read.

Would love to learn more if you have read similar books and have done similar things as that website allows to do
