Introverts Can Do Scary Things
And Market Too
In this episode, I share marketing and messaging tips for introverts and ideas for doing scary things to grow your business. A follower requested this topic, and I was excited since I'm super extroverted but know many of you aren’t. I explained how introverts can still show up, set boundaries, and make real connections without feeling drained.

I also shared my client Laura’s A to Z business guide and used "MARCI" as an acronym for five powerful steps: master your topic, add value, build relationships, connect consistently, and ignore negativity. I told personal stories and encouraged everyone to try scary things to build confidence and succeed, no matter your personality.

In this episode, I talked about confidence, how people see us, and how that affects our growth in both life and business. I shared personal stories, from watching Wednesday with my kids, to getting compliments about my hair, to playing tennis and realizing I was better than I gave myself credit for. The main lesson was that when we accept compliments and believe in ourselves, we show up with more confidence, and that changes how others see us too.

In this episode, I talked about BNI (Business Networking International) and how it helped me grow my business. I first discovered it when a friend invited me to her presentation and I found out it was a structured weekly meeting where local business owners share referrals, learn together, and hold each other accountable.
