Do you grapple with the confidence you need to share your ideas and offers with the online world? Do you know what you have to offer, but don’t know how to present it?
It’s not just you: most people are afraid to be seen ‘showing off’ or even worse, making mistakes, in such a public forum. Imposter Syndrome is real. Or at least it feels real.
I guess that’s what makes Imposter syndrome the ultimate imposter. Our friend Mr Syndrome has perfected his branding! Now… let’s talk about yours.
If you are willing to embrace the learning curve… welcome to the future!
Today, establishing a strong online presence can boost your success in virtually any field, whether you are a business owner, solo entrepreneur or artist.
And with AI-created content, you and your enterprise must have personality or be overlooked as one more robotic voice in the wilderness.
The World Wide Web is the new Wild West: if you are ready to stake your claim and prospect for gold, let’s GO.
But First, Focus.
Please take a second to do a stress scan to feel where you may be holding tightly on to unnecessary tension. Sometimes we don’t even recognize we are in a frazzled state of unaddressed stress. A little check-in helps to let it go.
How to drop that stress in 2 seconds:
1) If you are squinching at the screen: relax your face by stretching it out. Make some faces, rearrange your muscles lol. Now let it all go.
2) If you clenching your jaw: stop biting down on your teeth. Just shake your head softly and let your jaw relax. Like a happy horse. Sound effects optional.
Right, let’s GO.
