you can teach others to live better lives in
your own unique way. And guts, because
being seen is SCARY.
You can’t expect big doors to open for you
if you never set foot outside your comfort
zone. And you can’t expect to be recognized
as an expert if you don’t own your own value
and stop with the false modesty. So go
ahead: brag a little. Start telling people how
awesome your book, program, or method is.
Start sharing the results you’re getting. Start
thinking of yourself as the number-one go-to
person for the clients you serve. When YOU
start treating your work like it’s a big deal,
It makes me a little sad when I think about
how many years I spent waiting for someone
to come along and lift me up onto the stage
of my own life. It honestly never occurred
to me that, rather than wishing for someone
to drag me up to the mic like so much dead
weight, I could climb those stairs myself―
and that, when I did, the Expert Fairy, and
so many other magical mentors, friends, and
colleagues, would be waiting
there to give me a hand up.

If you look at many of the “experts” in your
field, you’ll find that they didn’t start out with
their current amazing resumes. In fact, they
probably started exactly where you are.
Many of the opportunities that solidified their
expert status came AFTER they made the
choice to put themselves out there and own
the value of their work.
other people will treat it that way, too―and
they’ll be even more excited to share it.
