What if we looked at Self Promotion like this?

The Enlightened Entrepreneur

If you feel self indulgent for self promotion this episode is for you! Elizabeth breaks down:

• How we should look at self-promotion.
• Questions that invite genuine conversation.
• Finding a bigger purpose.
• “Don’t do what the world needs, do what makes you come alive.” - Howard Thurman

One of the things that I think is hard for entrepreneurs, particularly women entrepreneurs is the notion of having to self-promote. But here’s the thing, self promotion should feel good and empowering, not icky and self indulgent. One of the ways I’ve found that I connect best with people about what I do, or what they do - is by asking questions that actually invite a genuine conversation to occur. Don’t ask what someone does, ask what they’re doing right now that’s got them really excited. Because if you have a purpose that is bigger than you and you can give voice to that and explain those passions, why you have them or what you’re doing about them - that is where the real connections and sparks occur! Having those conversations shows others how you are aligning your time, money, and energy behind something that you so deeply believe in that it truly makes you come alive. Self promotion doesn't have to be at the surface level of who you are and what you do, what makes self promotion feel attractive is when you’re giving voice to something bigger than you that you believe in with every cell of your body. Lead with that, using your business or job to underscore that bigger mission because that is what leads to authentic connection and business growth.
