What makes you “buy in” to you and others?
You invest in yourself because it’s important to you. You choose to do something and commit to act on it because it will benefit you and you feel it will serve you and your objectives. You “sense” this as a “gut” feeling of “YES” and a knowing and often feel inspired by the possibility and what it might mean for you and your life – professionally and personally. Humans align with what they believe in – activities, groups, brands, companies, leaders and goals which speak to their values, aspirations and who they view as extensions of who they are. They engage  because they WANT TO are the ones that create sustainable results, businesses, causes and practices,  not those who feel obliged to. They do it FOR THEMSELVES!  This is true for any committed and inspired action any of us undertake. We all know the saying, “What’s in it for me?”
How do you create “buy in”?
The success of being able to lead effectively depends on the power of a shared idea. You need to harness communal beliefs and goals so you make the idea a reality and create an experience everyone wants to show up for and be part of.  TED Speaker, Simon Sinek speaks about this with his “Golden Circle” formula. He illustrates how people “do not buy WHAT you do – they buy WHY you do it!”
Successful leaders find ways to get their teams to buy into the WHY and make the idea relevant to them! To be part of something that speaks to their core beliefs and the way they relate to and experience the world. As Simon points out in his talk, the part of your brain (limbic brain) that is responsible for your feelings and decisions responds to the “why” as this speaks to aligning your feelings with your actions, goals and associations.
Tips to “buy in” to yourself so that others “buy in” to you too:

1. If you are a leader, consider how you can inspire action in others by aligning your burning “why” with what they believe. Where is the common ground? Where do the shared desired outcomes cross over? How can you meet them where they are at to motivate them to show up for themselves by speaking to their core values? When you identify and speak to  the “why”,  people can go the extra distance and giving blood, sweat and tears for something that holds meaning to them does not seem like a sacrifice, but a given. It replaces resentment with a sense of purpose. Speak to what they desire to experience, to be part of and believe to be true about the world. If your team does not resonate with your why, then the chances of collaboration and dedication are minimal.
2. This can be applied to you in your personal capacity too. If you are showing up for a job/relationship/activity that does not connect to your “why” on some level, you will most probably feel unfulfilled and uninspired. If you want to inspire action in your life personally, ask yourself, “What is my why?” What moves me into action and inspires me? What ideas, ideals and movements do I want to associate with to extend who I am into something bigger? It is imperative to have an idea of your core beliefs and motivations so that you can find ways to DO MORE OF THAT. By being more of who you are, you feel more fulfilled and authentic, and these collective associations keep filling your cup with inspiration to keep you going when life throws a curve ball and be the best version of yourself you can be. It will add deep richness to your experience of life and will give you a sense of purpose and belonging to something greater.

Live Purposefully, Lead Passionately!
My advice: Find the WHY and find ways to live it. This is the first step to creating the life you want to live personally and professionally!
