Congratulations. You’ve passed the handshake (Stage 1: Introduction) and second date (Stage 2: Familiarity). You’re no longer a mystery voice. People know you and expect you. And best of all—they like something you do. This is the Magic Middle, an important step to advance your career. Welcome to Stage 3: Growth—the most vital and misunderstood part of the Personality Success Path. It’s where habits form, loyalty begins, and your brand starts to take root. This is where you transition from a voice on the radio (A DJ) to becoming a personality that transcends the station format.
All the hard work you’ve put in so far is beginning to pay off, but you’re not there quite yet.
“The most important part of a tree is the part you can’t see—the roots.”
—Old gardening proverb (and a great reminder for personalities)
