The first win lands unexpectedly. You are still grappling with your thing. Usually unsure if that will work, you are having exploratory conversations. You don't expect anyone to pay attention to what you have. But your effort is honest.
Your conviction of the utility of what you have somehow comes out. And that's the vital part of doing something. Your own confidence can back your effort like nothing else.
Conviction is a sign of belief about having landed something of value. You know somewhere that it is what you would want as much as many others if they knew what you have exists.
When such a feeling arises, you know your effort must continue to grow, and others must begin to know about it. You start approaching your interactions with stories grounded in your work.
How you came about with the idea, what hurdles you faced, how you made the discovery and how your background helped you overcome the ups and downs. All of it captivates the listener. That is what they usually are looking for. Someone to catch their attention and tell them that you have something that makes their life easier!
When stories resonate, you know you are in the right spot with the right audience. That is when you know you are bound to make your first win. Often unexpectedly. And when it does, it gives you hope for your beliefs that your work is beneficial to people. You can get them to believe you. When you realize that, the win feels so so special!
