It’s true
🤦♀️ You can't kill a man with your face
🤦♀️I’ve got some very bad news for you and your face.
You are going to need to show it at some point during your marketing. In fact the more you show your face, the better it will be for your business. Even if it’s not a pretty face.
🎬 If you can also bring yourself to open your mouth, and record the words coming out of your face, you will find that is also better for your business.
🎬So many of us have huge blocks about photos and videos of ourselves. For those of you who’ve seen my marketing, you’ll know my face, voice, ME is everywhere.
🤷♀️ That doesn’t mean I had no problems with it when I started.
🤷♀️ It doesn’t even mean I don’t find it challenging now.
💪 I just know that for me, and for every business I’ve worked with, “showing up” and showing your face builds trust and rapport faster than anything else you can do for your business.
🔮 It’s still not fun - and your inner critic is going to go into overdrive, but it’s incredibly important to remember that what you are seeing is the you others see. 👋Your voice is the voice they hear. And, I’m pretty sure it’s the same face and same voice that people interact with all the time.
👹No one is recoiling from you in abject horror as you walk into a room.
👹 No one is running from you, hands over their ears crying “STOP. Your voice, it’s all wrong!”
👹No one is dying from your face.
👹 The more you relax into the fact that you are not causing mass death when you create video, or pop a photo of yourself in a post or an email, the easier it becomes to just be yourself.
📸 I look down the lens of the camera, and I pretend it’s YOU looking at me, And I talk to you.
Because if I’m too old, too round, too noisy, too weird or too ugly for you, if who I am is not what you want to work with, if my voice is going to want to cause you to block your ears with fancy cheese, if I’m going to kill a man with my face - well I’d rather we sorted that BEFORE we meet in person. 🤦♀️
(And to my knowledge, I’ve never killed a man with my face.)
