How many powerful ideas die because someone feels guilty for wanting more?
In today’s episode of The Engaging Marketeer, Meg Calvin shares what she kept seeing at conferences – people pulling her aside, lowering their voices and almost confessing their book ideas like secrets.
Not because their ideas were bad – but because they were wrapped in shame, fear and the belief that wanting to share their work, or earn from it, somehow made them greedy or wrong.
This changed everything for ex-preacher Meg, and became her turning point for helping others. The work she does now is about trusting your instincts and putting meaningful ideas into the world – without guilt attached.
If you have ever talked yourself out of sharing something that mattered to you, this episode will hit close to home.
