The Vulnerability Hangover After Betting on Yourself","description":"Light It Up Live > ***Tickets on Sale NOW** There\u2019s a part of betting on yourself that doesn\u2019t get talked about nearly enough: what happens after you make the bold decision, but before you have any evidence that it was the right one.   You launched the offer, made the investment, raised the price, announced the goal, started the business, or finally put yourself out there. You expected to feel empowered afterward. Instead, you\u2019re questioning everything you were certain about days ago and wondering whether you completely overestimated yourself.   That\u2019s the vulnerability hangover, and it can hit hard when you\u2019re making a major identity shift. Your brain doesn\u2019t have the outcome yet, so it starts searching for evidence. You check the numbers more frequently. You analyze people\u2019s reactions. You compare your results to someone else\u2019s. Before long, \u201cI don\u2019t know how this is going to turn out yet\u201d becomes \u201cI think I made a mistake.\u201d   This is where fear of failure becomes especially convincing because it can start sounding like logic, intuition, or even good business strategy. In this episode, I\u2019m breaking down what happens when you\u2019re caught in that uncomfortable space between making the decision and getting the evidence, why being seen trying can feel so vulnerable, and what to do before self-doubt convinces you to abandon something that hasn\u2019t had enough time to work.     RESOURCES MENTIONED:   \ud83d\udd25 LIGHT IT UP Live (October 6th-8th)  In one-time-only live online event, I will show you how to get 1000s of the right eyes on your business, become unforgettable in your industry, and communicate what you do in a way that makes the right people want to buy from you on repeat.

It\u2019s surviving the space between the decision and the evidence.    If you want to become exponentially more powerful at communicating what you do, creating content people actually pay attention to, and talking about your offers in a way that makes the right people want to buy, come experience Light It Up with me.
