Every now and then, I get asked if I’d be open to being featured on podcasts, TV, print magazines, or other platforms where I could share my story and talk about my business.
Honestly, I’ve declined most of them, not because I don’t appreciate the opportunity, but simply because I’m shy. I’m not comfortable being on TV or doing interviews and I’ve never really felt ready to speak in front of a lot of people. I’m also a very emotional person when it comes to sharing my story, so I already know I’d probably cry during the interview! LOL.
The whole setting can feel uncomfortable for me because I’m not a public speaker. I’ve always been more comfortable working behind the scenes, creating, connecting with my customers and letting my work speak for itself. I know being featured on these platforms could be beneficial for my business and could help me reach and inspire more people, especially within our Filipino community. And I know that, someday, I probably need to step outside my comfort zone and try it.
But for now, I’m honestly okay where I am.
I’m happy doing what I love, sharing my creations with the customers who have supported me since day one, and building genuine connections along the way.
So for now, I’m choosing gratitude, contentment and enjoying this beautiful journey.
And maybe one day, when I’m ready, I’ll finally say YES to that interview.
Happy Wednesday!!!!!!
