23. The practice of becoming more visible Visibility Talks
-
- Marketing
I imagine I’m not the only one who bought a pile of things over lockdown, thinking I would finally have time to give That Thing a go. So alongside a stack of books, there’s also a calligraphy kit and a paint-by-numbers set that I asked for for my birthday that remain untouched, and there’s even a keyboard in the corner collecting dust.
But, guess what peeps! This week I actually got round to reading one of those many books. I went to the pub and I got stuck into The Practice by marketing guru Seth Godin, and I really allowed myself to reflect on what I was reading, so I wanted to share some of my thoughts and insights here with you today.
Now, I love dipping in and out of Seth’s world, he’s extremely wise and thought-provoking, he’s not one of these pale, stale and male dudes, he’s brilliant and The Practice is all about how sharing our creative work takes courage and it’s a constant practice - Well don’t we know it! As business owners, we have to summon this courage all the time and the same logic applies to visibility. It’s a practice, it’s a muscle we have to train.
You see, we know being self-employed comes with risks, and it’s scary, but we have to try things out, and we have to commit to practising because that’s how we learn and that’s how we improve.
So join me for some practical tips to get you started practising and training your visibility muscles.
