You might not realize it, but your fears of appearing attention-seeking on social media could be holding you back from the success you're aiming for. Hi, I'm Katie McManus, business strategist and money mindset coach, and welcome to the Weeniecast! In this episode, I'm diving into the common anxieties we entrepreneurs face, especially those of us with ADHD, when it comes to marketing ourselves and our businesses.
Let me ask you: Do you cringe at the thought of posting about your work or, heaven forbid, sharing a selfie? Does the idea of calling attention to yourself make you feel like you're in grade school again, worried that everyone will think you just want attention? If so, you're not alone. I've been there, and so have countless clients I've coached. The truth is, if you're not showing up in your marketing, people can't find you, and they certainly can't hire you. In this episode, I'll guide you through understanding the deep-rooted fears that make marketing feel "icky," and more importantly, how to overcome them.
You'll learn why calling attention to your business is essential, even if it feels uncomfortable at first. You'll also hear about the surprising benefits of being visible, including how to handle negative feedback and why your ideal clients are out there waiting for you to show up. After listening, you'll be better equipped to tackle those inner doubts, post with confidence, and attract the clients who truly need your unique talents. So, tune in and let's transform your marketing from a fearful task into a powerful tool for success.
