Your Opinion Matters … Sorta! {Podcast 68}
IN TODAY’S PODCAST….
I did something that was what I thought was seriously obvious. I had posted my latest blog post in my free Facebook group, and we’ve been doing a free 30-day video series on content creation.
I shared openly that the post just didn’t FEEL right. I asked my Tribe what they thought. To me, it was an obvious question.. don’t be a perfectionist, right?
I got a HEAP of comments – edit some text here, remove some capitals there – and not many people really got the joke to the post. The point of the post was publishing WITHOUT second guessing yourself. Get it?!
See, your opinion about my work (or ANYONE’S work for that matter) matters. But not as much as my own. As a creator, an artist, that’s how it should be. For me, for YOU for ANY-FUCKING-ONE!
On that particular post, there was 4 or 5 comments saying “well here’s how you could improve.” That’s people JUST WITHIN my own community. If I took them all deep to heart, I’d second guess EVERYTHING I do.
But here’s the think: don’t give a fuck. Just PUT YOURSELF OUT THERE. If you react to EVERYTHING, you’ll FOREVER second guess. You’ll be riddled with FEAR.
The reason I produce so much is NOT because I wanna do my best work, is because I’m COMMITTED to do my work – AS ME. Myself.
If I listened to every piece of feedback I receive – would I be where I am today? Absolutely not.
I open up in this video. It’s a longer one than usual.. but TRUST ME. It’s deep.
- Don’t question or second guess yourself
- Trust your gut
- Listen to yourself first
- Choose who to bring into your life
- Remember to just show up
- Authenticity for me is getting my message out there – the way it comes out
EXERCISE:
Have you been putting off creating your content because of someone else’s opinion? Go out and DO IT.
