Hint: IT MAY BE THE VERY STORY THAT WILL FINALLY REACH YOUR PEOPLE.
It’s funny…
I’m a pretty transparent girl.
I talk about a lot.
FAIRLY OPENLY.
Most of my public career, I’d cheerfully tell you ANYTHING that happened.. but what I’d ALWAYS — without exception — conveniently leave out is how I FELT about what happened. =)
Still, I’m a FAIRLY open book.
But there’s more.
The stories I HINT at,
but never share.
The bad, ugly, illegal, scary, raw…
that I DO share little HINTS about,
but never share completely.
I hint…
because I can’t stand EITHER of the following ideas:
- being viewed as some naive girl speaking via a microphone from her safe, pristine ivory tower… (I NEVER speak about what I do not know, usually intimately.)
or - being “found out” for something that would shock my “tribe.” =) (surprised, maybe…. lol. But shocked? No.)
Anyway, I’m going to be sharing a bit more.
About how I learned to sell.
About how I learned to stay the course.
About how I learned to control my blood pressure — and my anger — in stressful situations.
About where my GRIT (as well as my empathy) comes from.
About the darkest moments that forever steeled my spine.
About my very DNA.
About taking dominion over my emotions, so that I’m not led around by them.
About the moments in which I surrendered completely, no fight left, and how they left me forever changed.
About the biggest and toughest fights that left me unafraid, undeterred and supremely confident in betting on me.
Because All of it plays into the confidence people ask about,
all of it plays into the decisiveness,
the staying power,
the selling prowess.
All of this plays into why I’m UNIQUELY qualified to lead this movement of women entrepreneurs who are part of the NOT SCREWING AROUNG gang.
We’re here to stay.
We’re here to rule.
We’re here to make an impact.
We’re here to be seen, heard and heeded.
We’re here to OWN our stories,
not be run by them.
