Explain what you do like you’re talking to a 7 year old.

Has it happened yet? An adorable 7 year old goes “What’s your job?” looking up at you like a deer in headlights…. And you scratch your head and wonder how to explain it to this kid!

If what you do is something more complex than teacher, doctor, bus driver, police officer, it’s probable that the kid won’t know how to conceptualize it.

As entrepreneurs, we often find ourselves in complex conversations about our businesses, diving deep into industry jargon and technical details.

I know I get caught up in it… So much so that my message can be completely missed. Is it just me? lol

I’ve learned there's so much value in being able to simplify and articulate what we do in a way that even a child can understand.

The ability to explain your business to a child is not just about simplifying your message; it's about honing your communication skills, fostering creativity, and building meaningful connections…

We don’t need to care about how smart we sound. We need to care about being understood and heard.

And of course, that adorable little kid that asked what you do may wanna run and tell the adults in their life, if they find it cool enough of course! 😄 look at that! You’re networking with a kid!

Wanna give it a go? Explain what you do to a 5, 6, or 7 year old! Go (and have fun with it) !!
