So I need to come clean y’all... I'm an introvert too. 🙋‍♂️

Just thinking about being the face of my business and putting my voice out there makes me want to hide under a rock.

This past week, I finished putting together a workbook for Russell Brunson’s 30 day Fill Your Funnel Challenge.

Every day, Russell shares a key lesson along with action items so you can literally go from ZERO following to flocks of your dream customers visiting your videos and funnels every day.

Holy smokes!! It’s one thing going through for yourself…

But when you go through it to learn not only for yourself, but for the TENS or HUNDREDS of thousands of people who are about to go through his challenge, eager to fill their sales funnels with TONS of their dream customers…

…the learning process shifts.

Not only did I need to understand it, but I needed to watch so closely so I could accurately come up with the RIGHT action items they’d need to complete.

But of all his 30 days of video trainings, nothing hit me quite like Russell’s next words…

“If you can publish every day for a year, you’ll never have to worry about money problems again.”

My jaw hit the floor… HARD!

His words hit me like Odin's ravens dive-bombing into my consciousness… it was a feathered assault of wisdom!

It wasn’t the first time I’d heard Russell say that phrase.

My thoughts hovered over the last near decade. I had partnered with my ex-wife turned best friend – who was the face of every venture we undertook.

I was the wizard behind the curtain putting everything together and coming up with ideas for training, while she was the one who was on camera and networking at events.

I had told her about the need to publish daily before, which she didn’t find appealing at all (because more success meant sacrificing more time, energy, money, and headspace).

And for years, we continued to grow the businesses on word of mouth and Hail Marys alone.

But even though I knew we needed to do it to grow, I didn’t do anything because I wasn’t the face.

In some ways, I resented her for it… convinced she was the reason we weren’t growing.

But if I take a good hard look, all I was really doing was telling a story that kept me in a comfortable space of zero risk…

A space where I didn’t have to put myself out there, and the success or implosion didn’t ride or die on my awkwardness on camera.

(ironically, me not publishing WAS the riskiest thing ever)

But sitting there listening to Russell, I knew that this time around, no one else could be the face.

That role is mine, and mine alone.

And what’s more, my dreams of serving you and tripling my paycheck online won't happen by playing small.

So it’s time to face the biggest fears that stand in my way – all of them related to publishing daily.

Here’s are the "6 Fears of Publishing Daily"... AND how I plan to smash them:

No lie, putting yourself out there to grow a business, no matter how simple, can be scary and uncomfortable.

But I know that as I focus on serving my audience with authenticity, the platform I create will allow me to create the income and impact I dream of. ⏩

So, rather than playing small to avoid criticism, it's time to boldly and vulnerably share my voice.

For sure, I’m going to suck at it in the beginning. But over time, as I keep showing up, eventually I won’t, and I may end up actually getting pretty good at it. 💪

You owe it to your future self and loved ones to push past self-doubt and take inspired action daily, even when afraid.

Your time is now! 🙌
