Conversations with Voyage Denver
What an absolute delight it was to share my story with Voyage Denver! For those who don’t know, Voyage Denver is a fantastic local publication that shines a spotlight on talented folks in the Denver area—and I couldn’t be more grateful to be featured.
When I started this business right before COVID hit, I had no idea what was coming. All I knew was that the digital world was calling my name. Then, bam—COVID fast-tracked the digital shift like a toddler on a sugar high. The writing was on the wall: businesses and technology were diving headfirst into the online world, and I knew I had to follow.
Lucky for me, as a digital nomad bouncing between sunny Florida and beautiful Colorado, I was already primed for the journey. The internet is this fascinating, hyper-connected rabbit hole that lets us learn, share, and connect in ways we never dreamed of before. It’s wild to think how global business has evolved over the past 20 years—now, with just a few clicks, you can snag products and services from around the world, anytime you want. And let’s not even get started on how communication has been forever changed.
Sharing my journey with Voyage Denver was such a fun experience. If you’re curious about how I ended up here—doing work I truly love—check out the full article by clicking the link below!
It’s Weird to Put Yourself Out There (But Let’s Be Real, You Should Do It Anyway)
Admit it—putting yourself out there feels weird. Like, “standing on stage in your pajamas because you forgot to check your dream reality” weird. Whether it’s posting about your business, talking about your skills, or sharing your story, the idea of self-promotion can send even the bravest souls running for the hills.
But here’s the thing: the world needs to know what you’ve got going on. Your talents, your business, your unique spark—it’s worth sharing! The catch? You don’t have to do it alone. That’s where someone who gets marketing comes in handy.
Why Putting Yourself Out There Feels Awkward
- Hello, Vulnerability!
Sharing yourself means opening up, and that’s terrifying. What if people judge you? (Spoiler alert: they probably will. But also, they’re judging the weather and their coffee order—so don’t take it personally.) - We’re Hardwired to Be Modest.
For some reason, saying “Look at me, I’m awesome!” feels wrong, even if it’s totally true. - You Don’t Know What to Say.
Crafting a post or pitching your services can feel like trying to write a dating profile—what’s too much? What’s too little? How do you show you’re awesome without sounding like a robot?
Why Letting Someone Help You Makes It So Much Better
- Fresh Perspective.
A marketing pro can spot the things that make you shine (and they’ll package it in a way that doesn’t make you cringe). What feels “meh” to you is often amazing to someone else. - They Know the Tools.
SEO? Social media algorithms? Engaging captions? Marketing pros eat this stuff for breakfast. They know how to get eyes on your business without you stressing over hashtags at 2 AM. - You Stay in Your Zone of Genius.
You’re good at what you do—so why waste time overthinking your LinkedIn post? Let someone else handle the marketing while you focus on being the rockstar you are.
Putting Yourself Out There Isn’t Just Good—It’s Necessary
Whether you’re a small business owner, a creative, or just someone with a big idea, the world needs to hear about you. And sure, it feels weird at first, but weird doesn’t mean bad. Sometimes, it just means you’re growing.
So, hand the megaphone over to someone who knows how to market and let them help you shout your awesomeness from the rooftops. Trust me—it’s way better than standing there in your metaphorical pajamas.
