She was terrified of being visible (and now she's drowning in business)

Hi BOLDies,

I wanted to lead with this screenshot taking from my BOLD WhatsApp community last week from someone who literally was terrified to post anything on LinkedIn to now practically fighting off client’s in her LinkedIn DMs!

It’s incredible to experience that magic that happens when people align with their purpose and give themselves permission to be seen.

One of the biggest blockers for people is fear of judgement, (which btw has tormented me in the past too).

When I realised it’s actually randoms from school and ex colleagues who I feared the judgement from (people who I literally do not think about from one end of the year to the next). Honestly, are we going to let gossipy Susan from accounts or the snotty guy from physics class potential thoughts on us block us from amazing opportunities??

Absolutely not.

Always remember, what people think about us is absolutely NONE of our business.

Writing content and putting ourselves out there can be terrifying, but as Elizabeth Gilbert tells us in her book ‘Big Magic’, it’s probably our unconscious trying to protect us. We can acknowledge it with love, and say ‘hey, thanks for protecting me but I’ve got this under control’. Always remind her that you’re safe, and let the creativity and magic unfold.

Other bits n’ bobs:

Reading (via audio): this awesome book all about defining your messaging and ‘building a storybrand’. This is VERY useful for us LinkedIn content creators.

Listening to: Chilling With My Salt Lamp (in a downtime/creative era).

A very interesting article by Molly Graham (thank you Dean for the reccy)

In other great news, I’ve added a 3x month payment plan to my Becoming BOLD Bootcamp landing page (scroll to the bottom). This is kicking off next week Tuesday 6th May and running for 6 weeks (2x calls per week). I’ve already got some amazing BOLDies in the cohort and cannot wait to turn you all into BOLD entrepreneurs who show up on LinkedIn (If you’re someone who needs an invoice/VAT receipt let me know and I’ll sort it).

In this 6-week Bootcamp you’ll learn everything you need to feel confident and BOLD posting content on LinkedIn. You’ll leave with your very own LinkedIn content strategy, which includes your content pillars, tone of voice, target audience, origin story and ideas bank, posting guidelines and Chat GPT prompts (done with the guidance from me and the feedback on from fellow BOLDies in the cohort). You’ll also have 24/7 access to the WhatsApp Community.

and finally..

It was my birthday last week, so I’ve decided to give 3x LinkedIn Profile Transformation Sessions out to my wonderful subscribers for £99 (normally £249). Grab yours here.

Lots of love,
