The Power of Visibility: Redefining Success in Life and Business [392]

Ever wondered how visibility and conquering your fears can have an unexpected impact on your life and business? Well, I recently discovered just that while attempting to parallel park my car as onlookers watched. Fear of judgment had me in its grip. But, I realized, just as I had grown accustomed to being on camera and in the public eye while building my business, I could master my fear of being watched during a simple task like parking. The experience was nothing less than a revelation.

I didn't think this was possible, but I can finally attribute visibility to helping something besides my business. So tonight we, abe and I we went homecoming dress shopping and we went out to eat and then we ran to get some ice cream and I had to parallel park The entire time. I'm trying to parallel park, which is very slowly, by the way. Thank goodness for great backup cameras, but still it was a really slow process And Abe was like mom, everybody's watching you. There were people eating outside and she's like everybody's staring at you, and she just kept like telling me all this stuff and the old me would have literally drove around until I found a way, easier spot to pull into.

However, because I am used to making a fool of myself and not knowing what I'm going to say and how I'm going to mess up, and if my dogs are going to bark or if my internet is going to go out in the middle of a video, i did not care. To my knowledge, no one had their cameras out, but maybe there was somebody that I couldn't see, but I did it Like I literally did not let that affect me, and I think that is so funny that I used to pay parallel parking because I was afraid of what people were thinking of me or watching me or thinking, oh my God, this girl cannot parallel park, until we literally stopped if people were looking at me and move on. But it was so funny that Abe was like they're watching you. They're watching you. I'm like, okay, whatever, i don't care, i'm going to get in this spot. And then we're walking back to get out of this. She was mom, there's the same people are there, they're going to watch you, try to get out of that spot. And I'm like that's fine, i'm going to get out of the spot, it's not a big deal. So if you think that visibility will only help your business, you are wrong. If you don't like people watching you and you just certain things like parallel park, it will actually help you. So I found that very interesting that I am used to getting on camera knowing no idea what is going to happen, no idea if things are going to go my way. No idea because of live video, because nothing ever goes as planned, including the story, and I just think that is so funny that I was able to parallel park the first time, like in forever, without worrying about what people think of me worrying about people are watching me. Also. My G windows are pretty darn tentative so nobody can see me from the side, but straight on they could see me. But I think that's really interesting because so many people are afraid of getting on video, so many people are afraid of putting themselves out there. But the more that we do it, the less we care, the less we're trying to people please.

I remember when I first got on video and I first started doing live videos, i just wanted everybody to like me. I don't even know if I really had a content strategy back in 2016, 17, 18. I just wanted people to like me. I wanted them to like what I had to say. I wanted them to. I wanted to make them feel good about themselves. I wanted them to do all these things and I really didn't have a plan, but I still showed up and I still did it. And I still had very unexpected moments, like my Uri V book falling off the shelf in the middle of a live, my dogs barking, the smoke detectors going off in the middle of a live, like all these things have happened to me, but you just keep going.

And the same thing with real life people watching me trying to parallel park. You know what? Take a picture, video it, i don't really care. It's more visibility for me. Even if I am making a fool of myself, i do not care. So, friends, this is a real eye opener to me tonight because visibility. I used to say visibility changed my life, and then I realized no, visibility didn't change my life. Visibility changed my business. Being uncomfortable and getting over myself and not being scared to get on video, you know, and and doing the uncomfortable thing is what really changed my life. So, but I can also say that visibility helped with my parallel parking now. So it's more than helping you with my business. I hope this helped you, i hope this served you, and if you are afraid of people making fun of you when you parallel park, just get on video more. You'll get over it really fast.
