Hey guys
I want to have a online bussines, by doing so i would be putting my self out there making videos for the public to see , everyone i know will see etc. I have this fear im not sure what the fear is off exactly, weather its people’s opinions or what. But i cant let this stop me from pursuing my goals.
Any1 else have this issue? Is this normal and we must act despite feeling like this ?
Its so silly ive let it stop me for years.
Any tips with this ? Should i just stop been a pu#sy and have a go ? I dont want to waste anymore time.
Start a business that doesn’t need you to put yourself out there.
Record 5 vids and don’t put them out. Just get used to be on film. And watch them to see what you can improve and enjoy the cringe. Don’t take yourself serious, you can also private the links and ask some randoms to critic it. Good luck! You’ve got this.
Your mind seeks comfort. Doing something new like putting yourself out there is going out of your comfort zone and your mind(fearing for your survival) will try to conjure up ways to stop you from proceeding.
It’s totally normal. It’s why most people don’t dare to try. Just replace it being “scary” with being “exciting” and remember it’s a lot better to say “oh well” than “what if” and also remember you’ll only ever be criticized by people doing less than you, and never by people doing more than you.
I had this so many years going infront of camera. But recently I started my Instagram channel and within few months I got 16,000 followers.
I believe you should do what you think is right and don’t listen to anyone .
You don’t need to tho, there’s no money to gain on tiktok, everyone is young & broke there. If you don’t have the desire to build a personal brand, there are other better options like google organic for product selling, etc.
I’ve had this whole thought process but at the end of the day, it’s just you and your business and your life. don’t let the fear of people or opinions get the better of you. Someone said to record videos and not post and that’s a great place to start. You could even record videos without having your face in it. For example if it’s a clothing business, have other people wear the clothing and you do the voice overs for videos.
There’s a quote a live by that I think might help: “The cost of procrastination and fear is the life you could’ve lived.”
Good luck!!
I also have this fear! Glad to hear I’m not the only one. I plan to follow similar advice as to what’s been stated here - start slow and prepare, prepare, prepare. I am going to focus on ensuring the quality of my content is really high.
By envisioning yourself on your death bed thinking, “what was I worried about? I should have gone got it.”
“Give him some more morphine he doesn’t know where he is.”
Just go for it, who gives AF.
