Is there something holding you back from putting yourself out into the world? Perhaps it’s a fear of judgement. Maybe it’s a lack of confidence.
In the inaugural episode of Creative Courage, we delve into the mindset of pushing through fears and resistance and seizing opportunities with Chris Do, an Emmy award-winning designer, director, CEO, and self-proclaimed ‘loud introvert’.
Chris has struggled with his introversion, but this hasn’t stopped him from amassing nearly one million followers on Instagram. Chris uses the power of content creation to compensate for his introversion. And he shares with us how he consistently pushes through fear and resistance so that he can share his message with the world and grow his brand.
Covered in this episode:
How Chris Do uses content creation to push through his introversion.
How to push through the fear of putting yourself out there.
Making use of feedback in a way that’ll help you to improve.
How to seek out opportunities.
The benefits of finding your niche and the barriers that hold business owners back from doing so.
Why your leads are ghosting you.
Learning how to say no to projects that you know are a poor fit.
The 3 biggest drivers to whether or not people choose to work with you.
The bold move Chris made that didn’t work out for him.
