If you could have any superpower, what would it be?

Not long ago, when people asked me that question, I’d say “invisibility” almost without thinking about it. But then I realized that, for as much as I thought being invisible might be cool, I also very much wanted to be seen. Being invisible was really more about wanting to stay safe - which, as we discussed in a previous episode, is really an illusion and all about being comfortable. Something, kind of the opposite of what building a business is about.

Being invisible - especially in your business - has advantages… some hidden advantages that you’re probably not even consciously aware of. Today, we’re going to shine a light on these perks of invisibility so that you can make some empowered decisions about when to step into your spotlight and when to stay carefully tucked away in the shadows.

A few years back, while attending an abundance workshop, I encountered one of the scariest moments of my life! A particular exercise gave me, a business coach, a very “deer in the headlights'' moment but also, a breakthrough that changed the way I work with clients. Had my coach not taken just a few extra moments out of her agenda to help me with this roadblock, I might still struggle with the idea of holding onto something so much. I might have never fully launched the Incubator, which has helped our clients make millions of dollars in the 6 years we’ve been running it. Many of those folks started at zero, so that’s real revenue. Real lives changed that might not have happened if I hadn’t faced down that fear.

What’s the lesson? An Environment of Empowerment can help you overcome your fears.

As I mentioned in our last episode, even Betty White had her haters. Making yourself a victim is something that you have influence over and I am here to help! It starts by not being an a-hole, creating an environment of empowerment for yourself, and fostering a sense of belonging with your existing audience, which in turn changes your audience into your Raving Fans.
