Launching a book requires visibility.
I thought I would share my top three observations and lessons with you from the last month, I hope they help you think about your own visibility in a new way.
1. When you share information on social media about what you are doing, people actually get to see what you are doing! It isn’t bragging.
In two of my posts, I shared that I spoke at two women’s groups. I talked about the groups that I met with and how amazing the experiences were, because they were awesome! I am sharing information in the same way that other people share pictures of where they are traveling. Think about that for a second. People do that every day without a second thought. Does it help you realize that there are so many more things that you could share with others so they know you better?
2. Sharing what I am doing helps people see opportunities.
Those may be things that I could do to help them or speak at events that they are having. The posts this week brought out three more speaking opportunities for me to have in the next six months. Sharing information with others allows them to learn something new that they may comment on, ignore or take some form of action. Do you do something that many people are unaware of yet? Do you create beautiful custom furniture or handbags? Do you have a gift for helping people edit papers? Do you teach music? Whatever you do, tell other people about it and share why you love it! Who knows what the conversation may do, but you will never know if you don’t have it.
3. Fear is strong and will hold you back from becoming the best version of you.
I think back on the many times I was afraid to post something for fear of being judged. No one has ever done that, but my thinking about it prevented me from taking action. Don’t let something from the past or someone else’s opinions keep you from being seen. Focus on what you want to do and take some bold action. It doesn’t have to be anything big to start with, just do something. Fear hates it when you take action. So take action as often as you can, and you will no longer operate from fear, but from a place of confidence.
This has been my own journey to get visible. My hope is that all of you will do the same! This is your opportunity to create the visibility actions that work for you and build your confidence.
