We are totally shaped by our upbringing and lack of confidence and feeling lack of resources has been my experience which still resides in my thoughts.
It keeps popping up at the most inappropriate times, just when I am in the middle of a conversation or a presentation, that little voice in my head says to me: “Do you really know about this? How much solid proof do you have, what will you say when you’re questioned?”
I mean, seriously, I’ve done some extraordinary things in my life, (YES, I’m praising myself here!)
And just looking at these, having been in Business since 2002, buying and successfully selling for profit each one, using my Marketing expertise to do so, rather than Industry knowledge.?
I love the intricacies of Marketing and despite the many clients I’ve had and packed workshops I did with my Stickybeak Marketing Agency, I can’t tell you how often I’ve actually cried after one of those, despite enthusiastic feedback, I did not know how to feel about that and the praise I got?!
Crazy, right?
But something drives me, do it again, go for more, test this, go for that, fear inside, trembling, thinking ‘what will people say?’
If that is you and you do have writing a book on your mind, go for it! I did it, I now have three International Bestsellers and I learned some powerful lessons along the way.
Lessons and experiences I built into my Marketing Optimized Book Writing & Publishing Program to support clients achieving the success they wish for.
There’s another great newsletter out today by Amanda Blesing FARPI and she writes about us loosing our IQ by allowing our FEELINGS OF NOT 'ENOUGHEDNESS' take hold.

Despite the studies mentioned by Amanda, I wonder if it’s not exactly diminishing our IQ, living with a scarcity mindset and lack of confidence, but it’s more like living in a fog that will lift when you make that step out of it and take the challenge!
Take the challenge of writing that Book you have on your mind and discover the uplifting experience along the way to publishing and then confidently promoting yourself with your Book!
You see, the experience is in DOING it – you can take courses and get mindset coaching but ultimately you must step out and do it.
?
And I know from personal experience that you CAN overcome your self-doubt and ‘not good enough’ thinking by DOING.
?
And by ‘doing’ I mean planning.
?
The truth is, if you are NOT planning for success at the beginning of your book writing journey, and act on that the vision of success, the outcome at the end can be bitter.
?
And of course, you don’t know what you don’t know before you start, so instead of becoming a leaf lost in the wind by listening to differing opinions from people who come from different backgrounds to tell you how to write, publish and promote your book, let me explain the steps from my personal experience AND my expertise of Marketing.
?
If that resonates, let’s get together on a call and see how we connect.
?
Getting my help, for example, combines all three book writing phases AND as you discover not only what to do but also HOW to do it, you will feel your confidence grow into areas far beyond your Book Writing Journey.

8 个月"Am I good enough to write a book?" is a fair question that needs to be asked. To get a fair answer it is necessary to look back over your shoulder and see what you have achieved so far. Listen to what other people say about you and your expertise.

8 个月Doing things is so important to building confidence and increasing that ‘enoughness’ muscle. I have a little phrase that I use for myself and my clients “you’ll never know ‘til you have a go!” That doesn’t mean starting without having a plan and guidance though as that is where the self-belief starts to grow.
