I love coaching and seeing the transformational impact it can have on people.
However, self-promotion is not really my thing, but I know that it is necessary to help me get new clients.
As I sat down with a sinking heart to write a post today, I asked myself “What are you assuming that is stopping you?”
In minutes I had written the following conversation that I had with my interfering Inner Voice – Ivy:
Ivy: This is hard and uncomfortable work.
Me: So is exercising and I don’t have a problem with doing that three times a week.
Ivy: You aren’t good at writing useful and engaging posts.
Me: People have liked my recent posts about my Camino experience.
Ivy: But you won’t be able to write one that is better than the last.
Me: It doesn’t have to be better. It just needs to say something that will be helpful to others.
Ivy: You don’t know who you’re targeting.
Me: Do I need a target audience? I’m writing from my heart and if my posts resonate with people then they are a valuable audience.
Ivy: You can’t think of anything original to say.
Me: You’ve just given me an idea. Thanks!
What are you assuming that is stopping you?
Would a conversation with your inner voice help?
Or perhaps a conversation with another person?
If so, contact me.
