Unless you were born into a media family or in the entertainment business, it's not something that a lot of us inherently have.
is being able to put ourselves out there without feeling like we're under a microscope.
And one of the best ways, and it sounds ridiculous, and I'll give you a great example.
So I noticed yesterday that there was...
So about 15 years ago, a VP of sales that I worked with then looked at my LinkedIn profile and I reached out to him this morning and I sent him a video of this binder that I have where he sent me for like five years, a letter every single month that I was above plan.
he sent me these letters and he would write something at the bottom of the letter and he would sign it.
And I actually sent him the video of me flipping through this binder this morning because I wanted him to remember that he had an impact on me.
And so when I was writing my book, I was going through all this imposter syndrome and I was experiencing all these things that were happening.
And it was almost as if I forgot what my accomplishments were and my achievements were that I've had over the course of my career, because I don't love writing.
Even though I'm out there, I don't love talking about myself in that way.
But proof, looking at actual proof of your accomplishments, looking at your awards that you have in your office on your desk, looking at the achievements that you've had, understanding and just looking through those things really help you with anchoring this foundation.
fear of failure, fear of being judged, imposter syndrome that a lot of people experience, but they don't know how to label it because they don't want to call it imposter syndrome or they don't want to call it fear of failure or fear of judgment.
But that's ultimately what it is.
But the number one thing that you could do is to just do it.
Because action is the only thing that's going to move you through.
If anyone wants to get to where they want to be next, you have to move through the fear.
If you're afraid of speaking on stage, you have to go speak on stage to get over it.
It's the same thing with putting yourself out there online.
If you're afraid to do it, you have to just do it and just watch what happens.
It's not going to be as scary as you think.
