Love this Elin, and fully supporting you in your journey in growth! I think you might enjoy "Show Your Work" if you haven't already read it - it really helped me get my head out of the sand!
Another really illuminating read, thank you Elin. With my background in PR, I absolutely see the value in wholehearted, intentional promotion. I always found my job easier when I fully believed in a client and felt truly enthusiastic about their offering. You are so right that being open and telling our stories/experiences/processes are the way to connect to other people’s hearts xx
Thank you so much Lyndsay for being here 🥰 indeed, I even dare to say that if you don’t do it intentionally your dream job may turn into a nightmare. The benefit of building our own things is to have the power to make the decisions from the get go 🤗
Thank you Amy ❣️ my husband and I did it everyday for the first few years (more or less before 2020) and it was magical!! Met so many people and I think it had a greater impact on my artistic confidence than I ever realized (considering I come from a background where arts was never recognized…) appreciate you 🥰🙏🏼
When I was consulting and selling a mental wellbeing offering to exciting brands in Europe a few years ago I definitely had major sales fright. I really struggled to get the message across initially because i was subconsciously scared of success I think as well as rejection. Understanding our beliefs and digging into the why really helps. And yes, sales and marketing aren’t dirty words, and both can be beautiful ways to create connection and and value. Bad sales and marketing does the opposite in my view and you can smell it from far which one it is.😅
Love how you bring up the paradox reality of fear of success and rejection at ones! I think this is not spoken about enough - it’s rarely one or the other but all at ones don’t you think 🔥
Sounds like an exciting and enriching experience you got ! xx
I have "social-fright" ☺️ I just dislike promote anything. Mostly because I sound like a broken record. But I'm guessing I'm just doing it all wrong. Some is super good at these stuff. Others not so much. And having ASD is not helping either haha.
Haha yeah it’s definitely not easy regardless! For me it got easier when I stopped trying too hard if that makes sense. I just write what I enjoy to read and try to make it feel like a conversation with a friend which makes it feel more intuitive to write too… hope that makes sense!
I love how your "marketing" doubles as practical, valuable guidance to your tribe. This post is such a good example of it. That's marketing you can and should be proud of!
Thanks a lot Kelly! I try to write the type of marketing that I enjoy to read… marketing doesn’t have to be non-interesting or non-valuable if done right 💫
One of the magical gifts of your writing Elin is your level of transparency. You don't slip in bog standard selling - you use what you're doing as teachable moments. How wonderful that is!
Oh thank you dear Danusia ❣️🙏🏼 I’m putting great efforts into really building this new project only “gut-based” and that includes mixing the lessons and experiences with how I feel good selling, marketing and writing in general… it makes it creatively fulfilling and incredible joyful all at ones 🥰 thanks for reading and for being here, I’ll be in touch more about the midwifery projects as soon as I get the edits and this launch out of the way 💞 xx
