When are you going to get over your fear of showing up as your SELF and just playing that out with EASE?
Aren;t you feeling sick and tired of faking it? Of hiding? Of pretending?
Let me just tell you –
That’s the fast track to hell. In terms of how your life feels, anyway. 🙂 Believe me when I say that not only is it EASIER to just be you, but it ends up working out in your favour, too.
Because listen: We don’t want the fake you. We want the real you. We want the flawed you. We want the fucked up you. We want the misunderstood you. We want YOU, the way you are right now.
I had a call with one of my kickass private clients today and she asked me how I’m able to be so honest all the time. My answer was simple: “There’s no other way to live.”
Honesty will attract your soulmate peeps, your soulmate clients, your soulmate TRIBE. Honesty is easy. Honesty isn’t something you have to think about. You just open your heart, open your mouth, and pour your fucking soul out. THAT is what creates the connection between you and those who end up ADORING you, loving your work, buying from you, learning from you, and being impacted by you and your words.
You are an inspiration right now, just as you are. Know that. Believe that. And act from that place.
And can I just say?
When you’re faking it and not being you, we can tell. And I’m sorry, but it’s SAD. Pathetic, even. We can see right through it and it’s enough to make us run for the hills and never trust a word that comes out of your mouth.
I can’t even believe people still do this.
My god.
It’s SO DAMN EASY to be an inspiration to others, to impact lives, to make amazing money, to change the freakin’ WORLD, even: JUST. BE. YOU.
Why do you convince yourself to be like Amy Porterfield? Or Denise Duffield-Thomas? Or Marie Forleo? Or Gary Vaynerchuck? Or ANYONE OTHER THAN YOU? Yeah, those people have a massive following? That make a shit-tpn of money? They ARE changing the world –
And it’s OKAY to be inspired by them. It’s okay to want what they have. It’s okay to look up to them.
It’s not okay to try to be them. You probably don’t even realize that you’re doing that, but you are. And we can tell. And it’s NOT necessary!
Learn from your mentors and those you are inspired by. Soak up their energy, their vibe, their words. Feel into it. And then DO YOUR OWN DAMN THING. You can’t be Amy or Gary, you can only be you. And you is really fucking awesome.
I remember the moment I did a complete 180 in my business in terms of how I showed up online. A friend of mine asked me why I was so different online, compared to how I was in person (she was an “in person” friend I’d known for years). I didn’t even realize I was doing it! But after looking over my content and the way I was actually showing up, I understood: She was right.
I told her “I don’t know”, and decided, in that moment, that I was doing it –
Being this completely different person online from who I truly am –
Because I honestly thought that I had to. I thought that the only way I was going to grow my business and make a lot of money doing what I love, I had to act and speak a certain way (like all of the people I followed and was inspired by!). But that never, EVER worked. And even if I DID end up making some money and signing on new clients, they were NEVER the clients I wanted to be working with and I hated every second I had to work with (many I ended up firing as clients as I just could NOT deal with them anymore).
I thought I had to fake it
I thought I had to pretend
I thought I had to be perfect
I thought I wasn’t good enough as I was.
But by being this phony version of myself was freakin’ EXHAUSTING. I was TIRED of it. I was DONE. And so I decided that from that moment on, I was gonna be me. Fuck anyone who didn’t like it. I was nervous. I was scared people would stop talking to/following/buying from/liking me. But I trusted my gut that told me it had to be done.
And wow. What a FREEING feeling. It was incredible. I felt such an emotional release when I started sharing my true self. When I started to show up fully as ME, no mask.
And not only did it feel incredible, but it also made me incredible MONEY. I started getting new clients, seemingly out of nowhere, I was making thousands from passive income (when prior to that I was making hundreds, at best), and my community was growing like crazy - leading many people to sign up for my new offers as I launched them.
Money continues to flow in every single day.
New clients continue to sign up.
Sales are still through the freakin’ ROOF.
And the best part? It doesn’t even feel like work. I just show up, say whatever I feel like saying - whatever message needs to come through, and live my life. I get to work with amazing, badass, soulmate clients that I ADORE, talk about things that really light me up, and truly live life on my terms.
Sometimes I have to pinch myself to believe that this is real. 🙂
And this is what I want for you. It’s possible, it’s easy, and it’s SO much better than you could ever imagine.
Please let the real you out. Let us hear you. Let us see you. It’s time!
