How To Show Up When You Feel Like Hiding - Seth Godin

The Better Questions

"I feel like hiding every single day. The thing that counters it is generosity. If you can envision that you’re doing this work for someone else, then only a selfish person would choose to hide." — Seth Godin

Highlights

In this episode, we talk about how to make a commitment to yourself (and keep it), how to take action and speak up when you feel like hiding and how paying better attention allows you to better express yourself.

Behind the Scenes

I've been told that new podcasters should do a few practice interviews to hone their skills before attempting to interview any high profile guests. I didn't follow that advice, and it probably shows, but that's okay. This conversation highlights the many questions that were running through my mind at the cusp of my podcast launch.

Who Should Listen?

If doubt or fear is holding you back from expressing your brilliance, have a listen.

Questions

• How do you make a commitment to yourself (and keep it)?

• Do you write with your readers in your mind, or to process out loud?

• What differentiates those who take action and those who stay stuck (in paralysis analysis)?

• How do you show up in the world and share your voice when you feel like hiding?

• Are there places you feel like you're falling behind where there's actually no race?
