It took me years to start showing up on camera to market myself and my business–despite being a media executive, having been a TV news producer for a decade, launching Us Weekly’s video unit, working in video marketing at Netflix & PopSugar. Why? The same reasons as you: self-consciousness, fear of judgment, fear of failure. But once I focused on breaking through the negativity and fear, I’ve since skyrocketed my business: quadrupled my inbound leads, tripled my speaking engagements, and created the career I had dreamed of. Did I mention I was even an on-air local TV news reporter? So yes, we all feel the insecurity and fear… and we need to fight through! In this special mini solo episode, I discuss: My self-limiting beliefs How I broke through the negative thoughts and fear How I started getting speaking engagements because I started showing up authentically and confidently How showing up on camera 4x my inbound leads How I started writing for a major business outlet Looking to break through your own fears and get confident on camera?
