#542: Why I Show Up Online As 100% Myself

Authenticity and the digital world: How to get clear on what you’re all about If you know me, then you know that I have a wildly vocal inner monologue that often tells me things that aren’t true.  For instance, when I get a negative comment or criticism online, I’ve got to take a deep breath, center myself, and block some of those negative thoughts that start to creep in. It’s been something I’ve had to practice over the years, especially as I’m continuing to put myself more and more out there online.  And one of the things that has really helped me do this is remembering that I cannot be for everyone. Not everybody that crosses my path online is going to like me, and guess what? That’s A-OK.  This is something I learned from my dear friend, Jasmine Star, who's been one of my entrepreneurial besties for as long as I can remember. You only need a small fraction of people to resonate with you -- and heck -- buy from you, in order to build a successful online business.  That’s why I make it a point to show up as authentically as I can online – and being true to myself in this way makes me even prouder of the business I’m creating. It requires that you ask yourself some questions to really figure out who you are and what you stand for – and that’s what this episode is all about. Tune in to hear my thoughts on authenticity in the digital world and what you can do to stay true to yourself.  Happy listening!
