#59: 5 Things I Would Tell Myself When I Was Terrified to Get Visible and Did It Anyway
Soulful Sales With Ruth Poundwhite
If you’ve ever looked at someone further along in business and thought, ‘I could never do what they do,’ this episode is your reminder that we all start at zero feeling scared, messy, and unsure.
In this extra special episode, I’m sharing a throwback to a time when I didn’t know if I could do any of this, when I was terrified to show my face even in a photo, and the lessons I learned from doing it anyway, without having everything figured out in advance. It’s time to normalise the messy feelings on this wild business journey!
💭 [1:21] "I wanna talk about the mess more. I wanna be more honest about it. I wanna let go of the shame that comes with talking about not being perfect, especially when we are coaches"
💭 [8:51] "Something in me told me it was time to get visible. It was time to start putting myself out there. It was time to start saying my truth, and I didn't know where the hell it was gonna lead"
💭 [20:51] "I was so afraid of being seen myself that I couldn't see other people and I couldn't see that... we all have the same fears about putting ourselves out there"
