"Why You Should Keep Showing Up, Even If You Think You're Annoying"

Are you hesitant to show up for your business because you're worried that people might find you annoying? Well, I had a little "aha" moment in therapy today, and I think it's something that can resonate with many of you. The truth is, we've all been there, and we're not alone in feeling this way. But guess what? It's time to change our perspective.

I've been active on social media since the days of MySpace and LiveJournal (yes, I'm aging myself here). Over the years, I've noticed that sometimes things on social media can be quite annoying. And, truth be told, there have been moments when I've wondered if I might be annoying to others. But here's the kicker – just because someone thinks you're annoying doesn't mean you actually are!

Think about it. For every person who might label you as annoying, there are probably a hundred others who don't share that sentiment. It's all a matter of perspective and personal taste. So, why let the few naysayers hold you back when you have fantastic odds in your favor?

When you're tempted to hide or hold back because of a fear of being labeled as annoying, remember that you are not defined by the opinions of a few. Those who think you're annoying have their own triggers and filters, and their perspective doesn't define your worth or the value you bring.

So, why should you keep showing up even if you think you're annoying to some? Here are a few compelling reasons:

1.    Your Unique Voice: You have a unique perspective, voice, and message to share. Your authenticity and individuality are what set you apart. Don't let the fear of annoyance silence your uniqueness.

2.    Impact on the Right People: For every person who might find you annoying, there are many more who resonate with your message and need what you have to offer. These are your people, and they're eagerly waiting to hear from you.

3.    Growth and Resilience: Facing the fear of being labeled as annoying is a powerful opportunity for personal growth and building resilience. Overcoming this fear can make you more confident and resilient in your business endeavors.

4.    Honing Your Message: When you show up consistently, you have a chance to refine your message and communication style. Over time, you'll become even more relatable and impactful.

So, the next time you hesitate to show up for your business because of the fear of being annoying, remember that you're not alone, and you're not defined by the opinions of a few. Your unique voice is needed in this world, and there are countless people who will connect with and benefit from what you have to offer.

Embrace your individuality, keep showing up, and stay focused on the impact you can make on the right people. You've got this, and you're far from annoying in the eyes of those who truly value what you bring to the table.
