Spotlight of Service

THIS from the always magical, fierce and generous Danielle LaPorte

If you’re on this planet to help people, then stepping into the spotlight is part of your service. Being visible is how you spread your light—in podcasts, blogs, talk shows, magazines, the papers, the ‘gram (wherever your people are).

Your Resistance may say it’s egotistical. Or that you’re an imposter. But…stop. Stop that. Just turn yourself toward your passion and your creativity, and follow that.

I gave up being super pushy about marketing + publicity a long time ago. Doesn’t mean I’m not strategic, I’m just not rabid and um, ultra clever about it all. Here’s what I KNOW: the key to effective marketing is your generosity, and clear drive to be USEFUL. It’s magnetic. It’s rooted in your desire to Serve.

It took me a long time to learn this. I thought being the shy, humble leader was the best and most unselfish way. That waiting for others to invite me to speak up on something was wise. Who knew that was as much about my ego as someone who always needs to hold the spotlight for reassurance.
