I have a confession to make.
Over the last few months I realized I have had an underlying fear that I couldn’t quite put my finger on until now…
Being seen in a big way.
Sure, I write, coach, and am pretty active on social media, but I realized I’ve been afraid of putting myself out there in a big way.
And it’s not so much about the being seen as much as it is me being potentially rejected or disappointed by being seen.
You’ve been there right?
Well, it’s time to change all of that.
I’ve decided that October is going to be my best month ever.
This is the month I stop being afraid of stepping out and being seen and as a result, I’m taking risks.
I’m sharing my business with people more and more. Reaching out to women that are stuck and struggling that I know I can be of service to. Leaving my card in local businesses so more people find me. Guest posting like crazy and sharing my thoughts with a wider audience. I also just signed up to attend a women’s empowerment luncheon where I won’t know anyone, but is a great opportunity for me to network and connect with other like-minded women.
I’ll be honest. Doing all of these things is a bit uncomfortable. It stretches me to my max in some cases and brings up a ton of blocks for me to work through…which is great. I’m learning detachment in the face of fear and learning to let go of the worry of disappointment.
As they say, if you don’t ask the answer is always no.
We are about a 1/3 of the way through the month and I’ve already taken more risks with amazing results than I have in the last 6 months.
The results have been amazing!
I’ve been published again in Kind Over Matter with an article on Keeping Your Eyes On Your Own Path, and in The Magic Happens with a letter to the Dreamers of the World . I also wrote a post for Clear Calm Space on The Clutter You Can’t See and just found out my post Stuck? Don’t ‘Try Harder’…Do This Instead was just published on The Huffington Post!
I also have an article in an incredible book that is a #1 best seller called Empowered Women of Social Media: 44 Women found their “Voices” using the Power of Social Networking (Volume 1)
And I’m not stopping there. I’m looking for new ways to take risks, to be seen, to expand, grow, and reach beyond where I am so I can be of service to more women. To help you amazing ladies make life the absolute best and help you live a life of freedom as you turn your dreams into reality. I’m ready to finish the year off with a bang and I’m inviting you to do the same.
What have you been too scared to do so far this year? Maybe it’s pitching some articles, sharing your business, or starting a new venture. Maybe you have been afraid of taking the leap to ask for help, to hire a coach, or to take that next scary step. Whatever it is, I invite you to make the commitment to take risks and embrace the results.
I’d love to be of support to you as you do this in any way I can and invite you take the leap with hiring a coach. Schedule your 30-Minute Consultation to chat about how I can help you take big action to make your dreams a reality. You deserve to live a life of freedom. So what are you waiting for?
I also want to invite you to join my VIP list. I’m creating a community of life-lovers and a freedom tribe that I would love for you to be a part of, but you must be on the list to join. Stay tuned for the invitation to come your way.
Have a fabulous weekend of risk taking and amazing results!!

This is a pretty cool list… I will have to consider adding them to my list.
One book that I go back to is “The Go-Giver” by Bob Burg and John David Mann. The message I often heard growing up was “go getter”. It was a phrase that was difficult to resonate with.
For example, one of the five principles is, “My true worth is determined by how much more I give in value than I take in payment”.
You seem to have captured that quality just by the “energy” of your site.
I love that! The “go-giver” is a great reminder and seems to be a theme that I keep receiving over and over again. Focusing on value, support, sharing, and giving as opposed to receiving, forcing, and getting. Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll have to check that book out!
