Are you afraid of sharing too much?
November 9, 2009 by Cassandra Rae · View Comments
One of my own fears that I’ve been bumping up against lately is the fear of sharing too much information. In other words, if I simply give away everything on my blog, then people won’t hire me because they can just read it here. It’s kind of like that old saying about if you give away the cow for free, then why would people buy the milk. Or something like that! But, this fear runs exactly opposite of one of my core beliefs: the more I share, the more I will attract new clients.
But, the fear is a logical, rational fear. How the heck do I move past it?
Oh! Another fear just popped up and said, “Shouldn’t the ‘Simply Fearless Coach’ know how to move past all fears?” Oy! That pesky voice of fear is filled with such disdain and it makes me feel so small.
But, it also triggers another part of me that responds with such loving kindness and understanding. This voice says, “No, the Simply Fearless Coach shouldn’t know everything. She is willing to expose, express, and explore all fears which is what makes her Simply Fearless.”
Oh yeah! Just the fact that I’m typing out this dialogue is fearless! I feel so much better now that I’ve listened to and responded to the fear. It’s so liberating to be reminded who I am and what I stand for. When that voice of fear comes up it’s like half my heart flies out the window!
Okay, this blog post has taken on a life of its own! Back to the original topic of sharing too much. Part of me is still afraid of giving away everything and making no money, but here is what my Soul told me this morning:
“You believe that if you share everything that you’ll make nothing. But, it is the opposite. The more you share of our powerful message, the more clients you’ll have.”
Oy! Why? Why? Why does my Soul have to challenge and stretch me like this?
Here’s my commitment: I’m going to trust that if I allow the information to flow from within me that the clients will also flow. I will write & share everything that comes up. I will practice this for one week and see how it goes. If I need to switch up my business practice, then I will. But, one week is not going to ruin my business. I’m so excited now to see what cool information unfolds this week! Oh I feel so free now. Aaahhh…back to that place of inner peace and trust.
