Today's Permission Slip:
Each episode I give you a permission slip - a reminder to give yourself permission to run your business and live your dream life on your own terms.
In today’s episode Michelle talked a lot about sharing your story and being vulnerable - but not just for the sake of sharing. You should be sharing with intention and focusing on the parts of your story that your audience needs to hear or that will allow you to connect with them on a deeper level.
Michelle said, “Not every story needs to be shared in that moment, but if you know it will build a deeper relationship with your audience, you owe it to them to share it.”
So today I want you to give yourself permission to share a piece of your story with your audience.
I give myself permission share one bit of my story with my audience.
