In reply to Suzie Cheel. Gore Vidal quotes always contain lots of wisdom and insights, don't they Suzie? I'm glad you're doing more self-promotion with your Heart Whisper business. People need to know more about your gifts.

In reply to Zeenat Merchant Syal. Thanks Zeenat. Getting used to self-promotion can be a challenge for many of us. The key is to find one's style that isn't slimy or braggy.

To be honest Vatsala, I did struggle with self promotion in the earlier days, but now not so much. I think for me personally it has to do with becoming more and more confident with my skills and gaining the years of experience. Now I do self promote, just not too in your face kind, like the most do. I’m more of a subtle auto suggestions type 🙂 Works well for me thankfully!
But your tips here are excellent!

In reply to Barbara Parcells. I love the way you intend to use the spare time to create ways to promote your work to the world, Barb. I know you'll be successful.

In reply to Jenny Mannion.

Thanks Jenny. You’ve made a very important point which applies to all of us who are in service to others – own your worth! If we don’t do it, we can’t expect others to. We also need to be confident about our abilities and achievements and share them with others with pride.

Hi Vatsala, I feel this is an important article – thank you so much! This is something I have struggled with and taken classes to overcome. I KNOW many spiritual teachers do because they feel “they are sharing their gifts” and they feel like they don’t want to feel forceful or promote themselves so much. BUT I look at it now like 1) If we do not OWN our gifts and show gratitude for them how can we expect others to be attracted to our work? 2) how the heck is anyone supposed to know TRULY how we are capable of assisting them UNLESS we own it? There are many useful ideas here!! Sending much love, Jenny

I have to admit that I’m guilty of not indulging in some more aggressive self-promotion but not that I have all this spare time on my hands, my creative juices could certainly use a workout!
