Does the thought of putting yourself out there feel paralyzing? This episode tackles the invisible wall of fear for course creators, from "the haters" to imposter syndrome. Learn how to build your brand and share your expertise without sacrificing privacy or peace of mind, transforming fear into forward momentum.
Learn how to:
- Practice visibility without full transparency: Control your story and share only what you're comfortable with.
- Turn imposter syndrome into an unexpected ally: Use self-doubt as a signal for improvement and leverage your unique lens.
- Embrace the fear of crickets and the benefits of a slow start: See silence as feedback and early efforts as experiments for growth.
Weekly Action Item:
- Choose one small action to take this week to overcome a specific fear related to visibility (e.g., record a short, unedited video, send a specific email to your list, share a raw thought on social media).
- Reflect on your comfort level with visibility and decide on one boundary you'd like to set or reinforce around personal sharing.
- If you're feeling stuck, consider seeking support, whether from a peer, a coach, or a community.
