Is It Possible To Be An Expert If You Are Shy?

Can You Be A Shy Expert?
By Rachel Henke

If you're fortunate to be an all out go getter who can't wait to get on stage, host your own radio show or be in the newspaper you're one of a small number.

Many business owners and entrepreneurs have no desire to hold court on stage and be a celebrity.

In fact the very thought of it might be making you cringe right now!

With the borders of new media and business blending faster by the second you can be forgiven for thinking that if you're more of a retiring type you don't stand a chance.

So I'm writing this for you today.

And if you're an all out go getter you'd do well to pay attention too because if you're in the how-to or expert industry the chances are you'll be helping people who fall into both camps as well as somewhere in the middle.

Take heart because whether you're extremely reserved or you're a full on celebrity type there is a place for you in the expert industry.

It's more important to consider whether you have a genuine desire to help people and again that can be in different ways.

I've been thinking about this dilemma lately as I scale up my 'expert' training model and can see that all the training from the gurus seems to be geared to celebrities.

What about the others then?

When I was younger I had a lot of issues with confidence and if you'd told me that these days I'd be broadcasting my message out through many different media channels I'm not sure I'd have believed you.

Okay I would have believed I'd be writing, but not speaking on stage and radio because I was petrified to stand in front of the class, never mind give a presentation!

But the beautiful thing about being an entrepreneur or fledgling home business owner is that you can put yourself in a position to develop your skills and with that your confidence builds together with your business.

I'm a very different person in many ways today than I was when I got started. I've had to break down many self erected barriers to achieve the things that I wanted to achieve.

As a result of a traumatic childhood I had phobias and fears that seriously affected my ability to be happy and fulfil my potential.

I still battle with personal issues on an ongoing basis because after all I'm alive and human as are you!

I know how many women and of course men struggle with overcoming fear before they can achieve their full potential.

Don't let that put you off because the expert business model is all about giving value by being unique and sharing your gifts.

There are always other people who will respond better to you than they might to me and other experts.

It's just the way it is so if you're not a full on extrovert don't let that steal your dream of making a difference in the world and of course making money with your own home business.

There is no prototype for how you have to be to succeed whether online or off. Look around you and you'll see a myriad of experts, gurus, coaches and marketers.

There is a place for you if you're willing to develop your skills, your voice and your confidence.

You can write, do video, share audio, consult, coach, go on stage, speak on teleseminars or not. You can even pay someone to make content for you.

The choice is yours and you can create your online empire to suit YOU.

Millions of online marketers are quietly making a very handsome living by simply recommending products that they like through their own niche websites.

You see you don't even have to have your own products if that's just not your thing or you're not ready for that.

So my message to you today is don't count yourself out - put yourself in the game and begin.

Give yourself a chance and you might be amazed!
