(if you're going to be sharing your story with us)I was a terribly shy child all the way up to when I was 13 years old. My favorite pastime was playing in my closet with all my toys and closing the accordion doors, shutting out the outside world. It was my safe space and I didn't have to interact with others. However, one day at age 13, I felt like the Universe whispered in to my ear... "if you continue to close out the world, you'll miss out on so much in life. Life is better together." From there, I've cultivated my ability to be bold, courageous and learn how to spark a conversation with anyone at anytime. I've slowly changed from being an introvert to an ambivert, learning how to navigate my shyness and turn it into a superpower of attentive listening and kindness. This has helped me build a multiple six-figure business (The Simplifiers) and opened up doors you couldn't even imagine throughout my career so far. How has being shy impacted you personally and professionally, would you say?When my shyness flares up, I start to doubt my innate abilities to do the work I'm here to do, professionally. And when I let the shyness pop up in my personal life, I find I'm not as assertive as I should be, laying down my needs/wants/desires to placate others. Not good. I've been doing the work over the years to reverse this and happy to share what's helped.What are the biggest challenges you face as a shy person?Fear of failureFear of rejectionFear of abandonmentIn your expert opinion, what do you think we could do better to help shy people be more mighty?Remember, "shy" doesn't always equal "introvert". Even ambiverts and extroverts can feel shy. Remove the stigma and educate the masses to help people feel more comfortable in big moments in work and life.What specific tips or advice would you like to share with the Shy and Mighty listeners to help them overcome the aspects of their shyness that are holding them back?- nurture the people around you to form deeper relationships (clients, colleagues, prospects, friends, neighbors, and beyond)- cultivate your BOLDness and simply ASK!- together is better... alone serves no one.- do less to accomplish more... that is the art of simplifyingthesimplifiers.com

As parts of the world go into Coronavirus lockdown, and you watch helplessly as your life gets turned upside down, how are you coping with this new normal? Whilst both the threat of an unknown virus and that of economic uncertainty raise issues of your very survival, there is also the question of how you are going to survive the next few weeks living (and working) in such close proximity with your significant other and your children.

Social media can be your marketing funnel’s secret traffic weapon bringing amazing people into your business constantly… … or a giant time suck that causes overwhelm, confusion and frustration. Today on the pod, I’ve invited social media expert and long-time entrepreneur Mary Baird-Wilcock to share her super smart, streamlined and simple tips to wrangle social media into a client attracting platform that works. We’re sharing it all on today’s episode of The Marketing Funnel Show.

To grow as a leader, you have to actually lead. That means stepping outside of the solopreneur mindset, and putting together a virtual team, filled with people who excel at the things you don't want to be spending your time on. In this episode you'll find a whole bunch of tips for finding the perfect people for your virtual team and a few steps to help you be the best kind of manager once you've found them. The key takeaways: When hiring for a virtual team, you’re looking for somebody who has that micro niche expert status and experience in something particular. You’re not necessarily looking for somebody who you can groom and who you can teach, you’re looking for somebody who already has that specific skill that you can outsource and delegate that specific area of your business to. And more importantly, entrust it to. Mary’s 7 steps for building an unstoppable virtual team: Get clear on the vision statement – that’s what your company stands for and where your company is going. Why do you exist? Who do you serve? Put together an organisation chart (yes, really!) Determine what you actually need. Write a creative brief where you list out every quality and skill that the ideal person for the role would have. Get out there and start looking for someone to fill the position you’re after. Set up a 15-minute screening call to figure out if they’re a good fit personally. Follow up successful candidates with a 30-minute call and go deeper. Find out how they work, what tools they use, what their micro-niche is. -------------------- Join me on Instagram here:  https://www.instagram.com/dairecharlotte/ Sign up for my weekly (ish) jolts of genius here: http://dairepaddy.com/ -------------------- For the full show notes, including all the links mentioned in this episode, go here >> http://dairepaddy.com/episode25 -------------------- If you enjoyed this episode I'd love it if you could: a) Share your favourite moment, takeaway, or place to listen in your Instagram Stories, tagging me (@dairecharlotte) b) Hop over to iTunes and leave me an honest review.
