Im going viral on Facebook?!

Yesterday I shared a personal post on my personal page about something that happened with my husband that deeply moved me, and I have a couple of takeaways. When I went to bed last night, the post had like eight shares and 50 views. I woke up this morning, and it was 70,000 views and 7,000 people read it. Now it's like 300,000 people, 20,000 people read it, and 400 or so people have engaged with it, with tons of comments.

Here are my takeaways:

1. I'm surprisingly chill. This type of visibility for me last year would have been too much. I would have been obsessing over the post. I would have been responding to every comment. I would have been shaking in my boots for every negative comment there was, and this time I'm just like, cool. I checked it, responded and then didn't think about it for more than half the day. It's been genuinely surprising, but also evidence that this type of visibility has become my baseline. It's crazy to say that. I'm shocked that just came out of my mouth, but this type of visibility is now my baseline. I can be chill about being seen, being misunderstood and just carrying on.

2. People on the internet are rude, genuinely. I noticed after the 160,000 view mark that the negative comments really started to roll in, and I've just been like, cool, thanks for the engagement, and I correct the misassumptions, but I don't get attached to their opinion or the outcome. I just go, "Oh well, you assumed this; it's actually that," and I leave it, and it's oddly freeing to be so chill about being misrepresented by strangers on the internet with their opinions of me. I could never have held that visibility even 2 months ago. Evidence that the work I'm doing internally and externally are essential.

3. The authentic human experience is currency. I can generate a hundred different AI-scripted videos about my business. I can invite people into my spaces using different AI tools, and I do have some success with that, but the true currency is human connection and authenticity. I've always been a storyteller. My personal Facebook page has always been where I go to share the depth of my human experience. If any of you have seen me in this group, you've likely read some of my depth. I'm realizing that it is a missing piece in my business. Not to say that I ever truly separated it, but just to say that I've been really into invitations and strategies and the clear defining outcomes. It's great. I love that it has its place, but so does the raw, deep humanness of my life.

I'll link the post if anyone wants to check it out. My takeaway for you, I encourage you to share your process in this new market and AI saturated world. I think that sharing your process and being human with your audience is one of the most valuable things you can do. Dan has shared about his experience with this as well and I'm to double down on the wisdom.
