What’s really stopping you from hitting publish?
After telling others to just ‘start showing up’, I finally took my own advice yesterday and did my first-ever solo live.
I didn’t send an email, warn anyone, or promo it before I started. I put my lippy on at 9am all ready to go, then spent the next three hours doing every other job on my laptop to avoid it, and eventually just pressed “live” and started before I could talk myself out of it! (Which I did the day before 🤭)
This one’s about why we freeze before we feel “ready”, and why “ready” is just a story we tell ourselves that stops us starting.
In this live:
Why the thing holding you back isn’t fear of failing, it’s a craving for certainty that never actually turns up
The absolutely mad stats on how much content floods the internet every single minute! And why they’re the most freeing thing you’ll hear all week (spoiler: nobody’s watching your early stuff)
Simon Squibb’s first Instagram videos vs. the ones he makes now. I scrolled all the way back to the beginning because I’m a bit of a nerd, but it was worth it!
“Get it done, then get it right”. The line from my old mentor Jason Fladlien I keep coming back to
Why you can’t know what your audience actually wants until you show up and let them tell you
Takeaway quote:
Over to you:
What’s the one thing you’ve been sitting on waiting until you feel ready?
The half-written post, the note, the video.
Tell me in the comments. Then go and publish the imperfect version this week. I did mine. Your turn. 👇
