Hi there, welcome to this week's podcast episode.
Speaker 1:Today I want to talk to you about that fear of being seen. Now, when we are entrepreneurs, often we need to put ourselves out there in order to help other people, and our audiences need to hear your voice or see your content or know what you have to offer, and that can be really scary because we have to go through our own feelings of being seen. So today I want to break down to you some ideas that might be stopping you from being seen and also explain how you can start to overcome them, and this has really come to light since me launching the Becoming Unstoppable book last week. So that went live on the 10th of October and if you haven't got a copy yet, I have popped a link in the show notes so you can get your copy with an accompanying guide so that you can access that today. But in order to become unstoppable, you have to be able to become seen. So that is exactly what we're going to be diving into.
Speaker 1:So, firstly, when I used to start well, when I started my business, I started putting things on Facebook and putting things on social media and I would get the dread, I would get the feeling what if they saw? What if they said something? And it was always this feeling of they If they said something, if they saw, and it makes me think who the hell are they? How many times do you think that for yourself? Oh, my God, if I put this post out there or if I do this thing, they will see it. And they might be someone that you went to school with 30 years ago or someone who said something bad to you in your first job, but you know them on Facebook. There is all these things family, friends, different people that surround you on social media and suddenly they become the important person that you have to please Now, when you're starting your business or when you're, you know, an entrepreneur. It is not about those people Some of them, great, might end up being your clients, which some of mine have but you cannot stop yourself talking or censor yourself in case Judy down the road or Cynthia, who you worked with 20 years ago, might see your post and think you've went mental. Good if she has, because she'll be reading it. Good if she has, because she'll be reading it. So you've got to start to think are you looking at what you are putting out? Are you censoring it for friends, facebook friends, family? Are you hiding yourself and not putting yourself out there because you are scared of them or they seeing your posts and seeing who, what you are doing now and who you are?
Speaker 1:So the big thing with this is what tends to happen is our family and friends are very, very supportive when you are going through your journey of growing up. So when you are thinking, when you're at school, you know you get your report and your mum's really proud and your dad's really proud and it's like, yeah, that's great, you know, I'm supporting you, you're doing well, you're doing your studies. Then the next thing is you are meant to go off and get a job or you're meant to go off and go to college. So there's all these rules and regulations that, as a society, we do, we're trained to do. We're trained to do from a young age. So that is completely normal to them. They understand that you go through school, you go to college or you don't either way, and then you go and get a job and that is completely safe, completely normal and something that your family are going to get. They're going to be proud that you do that, because you stay in your lane, you stay in your box. You don't give them anything that's out of the normal. So there might be a supportive family structure or a supportive friend structure because you are being normal, or so-called normal.
Speaker 1:When it becomes that you want to be an entrepreneur and you want to start talking about different things, and especially as a spiritual entrepreneur or an intuitive entrepreneur, what tends to happen is you tend to start acting different to that normal life, to that normal box, to that path that everybody sets out to fulfill. So when you do that, your family that's always been supportive or always been around you, or your friends that have been supportive, suddenly they feel a little bit uncomfortable that you are walking off the path. You are changing course, you are doing something different that they have not been taught actually works, or they might not have seen it work before. So you are doing something completely different and what this tends to do is fill those around you with a level of fear. Fear for you. They're not being nasty, but it can be fear for you because they're thinking, oh my God, she's walking off the path, she's going to fall down a pothole or whatever it is, but they're scared you are going to fall in some way, shape or form.
Speaker 1:So what can happen is the family and friends that were very supportive when you were following the path suddenly become a little bit more judgmental, become a little bit path. Suddenly become a little bit more judgmental, become a little bit more interfering, become a little bit more uncomfortable should I say I couldn't get the right word uncomfortable with what it is that you are doing and that can bring up a level of fear not only in them, but a level of fear in you, because you are actually having to go off the path but also do it alone, do it in a different way, do it in a way that goes against what you were taught from a young age, which can also feel really fearful for you too. So if you're in that situation where you're thinking I can't put this out because they will see it, start to examine who they are. Who are those people? Are they your friends and your family? Because I've been through that as well.
Speaker 1:My friends and family didn't really know what was going on. I'd been on my spiritual journey, probably long before they started to see it online journey, probably long before they started to see it online. But they didn't understand because I was doing that in my own private time, in my own private space. And then suddenly I'm out online with this whole new perspective, this whole new way of looking at life and talking to everybody online about it. And they were like what has happened to Rachel? She's gone a little bit crazy. What's going on? It's normal People are going to think that, but for you, as an entrepreneur, what you've got to start to do is who are you worried about seeing your things? Who are you worried about seeing your posts, and why Is it? Because you've just walked off the path that you were trained to walk and now you've got to re-establish those boundaries with those people.
Speaker 1:So, like I said, at the beginning it was really strained. It was really weird for me with my family and friends because they didn't know who this new person was. But I had to connect with my why. I had to connect that I was doing this for something bigger than me. I was doing this to share my learnings, to share my teachings with other people, and if I'd kept quiet or I'd kept in a space where I wanted to please everyone around me, I wouldn't have done what I did.
Speaker 1:And thinking back, now I'm four years into my business. I'm four years into sharing my journey online and I've just launched my first solo book and I didn't have any of the fear that I had at the beginning. I didn't have any of the fear that I had at the beginning. I didn't have any of the worry about posting things and people thinking who are they? Because now I'm at that point where I've done so many things. I've fought that fear every single day, every time I put a post on my personal page, every time I put a post out. That seems a bit crazy. I fought that fear and I've went through it to the point now where I can launch a book and I can talk about it openly and I can get it out there to as many people. And I'm not worried about who are they, because for me, who are they? They're all looking at me now going oh my god, have you seen that she's wrote a book? Like how amazing is that? What an accomplishment? Those same people might have been looking at me now going oh my God, have you seen that she's wrote a book? Like how amazing is that? What an accomplishment? Those same people might've been looking at me four years ago thinking I'd lost my mind.
Speaker 1:Just because they're not on the same speed of the journey with you doesn't mean they're not going to get back on track. So stop worrying about who they are today and start worrying about who you want to be, so that once you understand you are that person, they're all going to be on board by that point and you really don't have to fear it. So if you get that fear of who are they or what, if they see this, post it anyway, do it anyway. Take the knockbacks, take the things on chin, take the people thinking you're crazy, because four years on, or two years on, or one year on, you'll be releasing your own book and you won't care about these people who are saying who is she, what is she doing? You won't have a clue, you just won't. So allow yourself to just post the thing. You're here to share your voice, so please get it out there.
Speaker 1:The other thing you might be scared of judgment, so you might be thinking, oh, they are going to judge me, people are going to judge me. Now, that is something that we can actually reflect or project. So if you start to think, are you judging other people? Now, often, when we start a spiritual journey as well, we can judge other people who aren't on the spiritual journey. Are you judging those people or are you judging other people in business? Are you looking at people and saying, oh my God, I can't believe she's charging those prices? Or, oh my God, have you seen this post that she's put out? What are you doing around judgment? Are you reflecting it out? So are you judging other people? Or are you projecting it? So are you saying that other people will judge you and are your thoughts constantly going to everybody's judging me, everybody's talking about me, everybody's commenting about my posts in a negative way, because that is projection. So you are saying that you're pouring that into your thoughts and your thoughts are creating your reality. So, when it comes to judgment, just do that little sense check Are you reflecting it out or are you projecting it? And if you've got a fear around that, this is really worth digging into to say what are my thoughts around judgment, what is coming up for me and do I judge other people? So that's a really good, quick one to clear any fear of judgment there.
Speaker 1:And then there's the bit around trolling online. That does stop a lot of people putting those things forward. And I will go back to my first point. Who are they? If you are getting trolled, it means you are getting seen, and if you are getting seen, you are helping a lot more people than those trolls. So remember who are they. They often are miserable people, people who are hurting, and you do not need to give them your energy. So, firstly, if you do get trolled, you can always block them and delete the comment.
Speaker 1:Another thing is, if you do get trolled, start to think how do you show up for other people? Are you a cheerleader for others? Are you celebrating success? Are you looking at other people's posts and holding back from liking or commenting because you fear that they're doing things better than you. Start to think about where is your energy around this and are you in alignment with what you want to see on your own pages? So are you showing up as a cheerleader for others? Are you liking people's posts when you see them, and you do like them, or are you going, oh wow, she's done that post really well and you just scroll on past? So start to become the best cheerleader for everybody around you. Start to celebrate others' success, because success breeds success. Whether it is yours, it does not matter. Start to think about. You are the best cheerleader for women. Whoever is in your community, you are the cheerleader and supporter for them. So please, please, make sure you are supporting everyone, and you will reflect that back into your own social media too. So do not skip this step, because you want to be repaying that back, which will come back to you tenfold too. So make sure you are celebrating the love, sharing the successes and just giving all of that back out to your community too.
Speaker 1:And then the big thing is that often we get stuck on when it comes to sharing our voice or sharing what we are doing. Do you believe it enough? I 100% believe you are here to share your voice. You are here to communicate whatever it is that you've got to other people. But do you believe it? Do you believe that you are here to do something different? Because this is a thing that trips a lot of people up and they're scared of having that level of confidence or have that level of acknowledgement in themselves to say I am worthy of saying this. People need to hear this from me Now.
Speaker 1:There is a lot of information out there, especially around self-help, especially around manifesting and I talk about this with my Miraculous Success Academy all of the time. But none of the information you are hearing is new. It is all floating around the divine matrix, all the thoughts, all the energy, all of it together, and people hear things and they take it and they speak it into existence. It does not mean that it is theirs. So often you'll hear in these self-help circles lots of things where people say the same thing but in a very different way, and what that means is that you can do exactly the same. You are here to share things in your voice, in your tone, in your way of understanding it and then translating it to someone else. That is your beauty of it, you might be teaching the same lesson that perhaps I'm teaching or someone else is teaching, but you are saying it to your audience. You are saying it to your people in your voice and in only the way that you can put that out there.
Speaker 1:So what you've got to start to do is believe that you are the expert in what you are saying. You are the one who needs to deliver that message and you need to start believing that about you and having that belief in you as the coach, as the expert, whatever it is that you are, but believing in what you and having that belief in you as the coach, as the expert, whatever it is that you are, but believing in what you are here and what you are about, because no one can deliver it like you. No one can deliver your message the way that you can to the people who need to hear it from you. The same with me. I might have exactly the same type of business as you. You might have a podcast. You might be a coach. You might be a business coach, all of those things you might be talking about, the same things manifesting and energetics in business, but you will be saying it in a completely different way, and this is why you have to believe in your message. You have to believe in yourself. You are here to share your story, to share your learnings, to share your journey. No one else can do that.
Speaker 1:So if you have been struggling with this feeling of being seen or getting your work out there or doing what it is, you need to do today's the day. You need to get over that, today's the day. You need to look at the things we've went through in this podcast and go is it really a factor or do I just need to get over it and start practicing? Because what we often think is we often feel like confidence is a feeling, but actually confidence is not a feeling. Yes, you can put it on in a sense, but it isn't a feeling, and what it is is it's doing the same thing or doing something over and over again until it feels comfortable. Then, suddenly, when it feels comfortable, that's when you feel confident in it and that's when we've associated the feeling of confidence with being comfortable and competent, but actually that isn't true. So confidence is something you practice, is something you practice. It's not something you just are.
Speaker 1:So if you feel unconfident at the moment, practice, practice getting good at putting your posts out and sharing your voice and you will become confident in it and competent in it. But if you hold back, waiting to be confident enough and waiting to be competent enough to put your voice out there, you'll be waiting forever, because that comes with practice of doing so. Please start doing today and build your confidence along the way. This is a game changer. I would love to hear more about your thoughts on it and you can come and join the Soulful Badass Telegram group. Share your story in there. But please just practice and start moving forward to becoming your most confident self. You've got this Time to become unstoppable.
