Fierce Belief

Fuel Your Growth: Transform Your Expertise into a Personal Brand that Amplifies Visibility & Impacts Ideal Paying Clients
To put yourself out there on LinkedIn, you have to fiercely believe in yourself.
You have to believe in what you know...
What you stand for...
Who you are.
But what happens when your belief falters?
When something in your personal life shakes you to the core?
When you realize where you were going isn't aligned with the how you want to change the world with what you know?
Even the most confident thought leaders and content creators have moments of doubt - either provoked internally or externally - that shake their personal brand.
When it happens, the fierce belief you had in yourself can dissipate in seconds.
When it does, you can feel exposed...
Like you aren't good enough...
Like you are a fraud...
That people's perception of your greatness is wrong.
Putting yourself out there on LinkedIn is hard enough on a good day.
On a bad day, the idea of even interacting with a post can feel paralyzing let alone showcasing something about yourself that is vulnerable.
How can you burn away the doubt when doubt is all you feel?
How can you burn it away so you can get back to belief?

Go back to your answers to these questions:
When you answer these questions, I want you to look at the selfish - not altruistic - reasons for each of these.
For many of you, myself included, a lot of self-worth historically has come from seeking external praise, wanting desperately to be loved, and even more desperately wanting to feel a sense of community.
That turned into taking contracts that were not my ideal fit, creating content for companies that was not aligned with my path, and generally not honoring who I was and where I wanted to go.
It also took me on a path of creating an empire I thought I wanted because it could give me the accolades I sought for all the sacrifice it took to build it.
But, it left me questioning what I was doing with my life.
It left me empty and fiercely doubting myself.
To find that fierce belief in myself again, I had to burn away the external expectations, requests, and accolades I had relied on.
You will have to burn them away too.
Burn them away to clear the path to build the internal confidence and mastery you need to fiercely build your personal brand...
Burn them away so you can fiercely change the world with what you know.
Ready to fiercely change the world with what you know?
