I was always afraid of failure... then this happened...
Visionaries... I remember talking to one of my first mentors.👇 I revealed a challenge I was facing. It was around leveling up to receive more visibility on social media and inside of communities. The problem here was the problem itself. I don't naturally like having too much attention. Therefore it was even uncomfortable for me to ask questions inside a community publicly. And I didn't always enjoy posting on social media. I was absolutely terrified at the idea of ever speaking on stage. Or running a community. A mastermind. Or leading workshops. So I would normally stay fairly quiet in regards to "putting myself out there". Meanwhile... I would see a lot of my peers growing their businesses faster than me. It was to be honest; a bit frustrating and confusing. "How were they getting so many clients?" They seemed to not be shy. So they posted on social media more frequently. Jumped on camera willingly. Hopped into conversations online. Started conversations online. Asked questions in communities we were apart of. (not afraid to receive advice or to be vulnerable) Commented on other people's content and cheered on their wins. There were just everywhere. Unapologetically themselves. And I wished I could have their confidence. . . . I remember sharing all of this with my mentor. Then I boiled it down to a single "power question" of the day as I was allowed 1 question per day directly to him. The specific question I asked was this.... "I want to post more and be more visible online but what if I don't get any likes or lose the few followers I have saying the wrong thing?" Fair concern I thought. And in having spoke with hundreds of business owners or aspiring entrepreneurs ----> this seems to be the #1 fear. "What if I fail?" or "What if I lose followers or my friends think I'm weird?" -----> So what was my mentor's response? He responded by asking me two questions. 👉 "Dino, do you want to grow your business?" He waited patiently for my reply.
