To be in the public eye all the time is not fun. There are expectations. And rules. And you have to behave a certain way and be a certain kind of person…
At least, that’s how I felt for the longest time and so I AVOIDED being seen as much as possible.
I’d tell myself, I like my privacy.
And the truth is, I really do.
I’m an introvert to the max.
A hermit.
I literally live in the desert and I only see people in person when I decide I want to.
But then three years ago, I made a decision to do *some* publicity, mostly with the idea of getting new coaching clients.
Well, I managed to get myself on one of the top podcasts in the world right away and the outcome wasn’t at all what I expected…
I found it was the catalyst for developing a new FRIENDSHIP with one of the top influencers in the space – someone I collaborated with on many different things since then.
But back to being uncomfortable about being public, and avoiding being seen –
it’s kind of crazy, especially in my line of work.
Former actor, now building a personal brand…
And yet, trying to hide.
I know you can hear me…
I know you might be in the same boat too.
You’re an entrepreneur with a meaningful message and you need to get it out there.
But if you are ambivalent about actually sharing your message at scale –
how on Earth is it ever going to happen?
You’ll be self sabotaging yourself at every turn.
(Ask me how I know..)
Here’s the thing.
You just have to GET OVER YOURSELF, Babes.
You have to MAKE A DECISION that you’re no longer hiding,
that what you have to say is important,
that people need to hear it –
otherwise, how are things going to change?
You were born to make a difference,
to build a business that has an IMPACT,
to become INFLUENTIAL –
and you can’t do it half assed.
*Kind of trying* is not good enough.
Think about it – if you don’t do it, who will?
Are you gonna let someone else share the essence of YOUR MESSAGE
and do a crappy job,
while you’re watching them,
secretly criticizing them and maybe even feel jealous at time?
Are you going to let YOUR TRIBE be guided by someone else,
who –
let’s just be honest,
can’t do it half as good as you?
Are you a leader of a follower?
That’s what I thought… 🙂
It’s time to get over yourself babes.
It’s time to step up and, as Jay Abraham called me out on it a couple of years ago –
GET YOUR BUTT OUT THERE.
Deal?
Deal. 🙂
PS. If you know this is you, if you know you need more publicity and better, higher level connections, message me. I am taking on a couple of new clients -if you know it’s your time to shine, email me or message me on Facebook.
