Summary

As entrepreneurs it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking that until we’re clear on what we offer and until we have a product to sell, then there’s no use in showing up and sharing content online.

But this couldn’t be further from the truth - in fact it’s a common misconception that keeps so many entrepreneurs stuck from ever really building momentum and growing their audience.

We hold ourselves back because we think we need to have everything figured out, rather than giving ourselves permission to just show up, be of service and have meaningful conversations with the people in our community.

Showing up when you have nothing to sell is one of the most powerful things you can do for your business and for your audience, so in this week’s episode I’m sharing some tips and a change in perspective that helped me to overcome this and I know it will help you too!

0:45.3	started. Hello, I am so happy that you're here because I want to talk to you about something that came up in a one-on-one that I was having recently.
0:59.0	So I was having a conversation with someone and we were talking about how, well, she was talking about how she felt like she was going in circles and we kind of unpacked it all and really at the bottom of
1:13.4	it was this feeling like she she was kind of so focused on like what she was offering or what
1:20.5	to offer and trying to figure out what to offer that figuring out what to offer had become such a
1:26.8	burden and so heavy it was blocking her way
1:30.3	from just being able to, like, show up and be helpful and be of service.
1:34.5	And I think this is a really powerful thing to talk about for us, because I think so often we really
1:40.7	block ourselves because we think that we need to have our offer perfectly figured out
1:46.1	before actually hitting the go button. And I know for me when I started FAA, I remember
1:54.6	obviously not knowing, like just having this idea, I wanted to create this platform that would like
2:01.9	help women in business. And I knew that much. But figuring out what to actually offer felt like
