Today I learned that no matter what organization or profession or society of individuals you represent there will always be two and three sides if you will that will speak ill of who you represent! I have been an advocate for Podiatrists, Psychologists, Chiropractors, Pharmacists, Nutritonalists, Public Insurance Adjusters, and the list continues. I have served in public office I have lobbied for the above names associations and what I learned today that there will always be those who will not see the value in the profession you represent! I am not discouraged or in anyway dejected, you see the take away here is simply this:
1. Believe in who you allign yourself with.
2. Represent the Issues not the profession.
3. Feel the passion of what the profession is trying to accomplish.
4. Be sincere and honest in what you do!
If you cannot follow these simple steps - then advocacy is not for you!
