For six years, I unknowingly held my own business back.
Why?
Because I stayed away from social media.
I thought it was shallow.
A distraction.
A place for selfies, vacation posts, and endless scrolling.
I told myself, “Real work happens in real life.”
And I truly believed it.
But here’s the truth…
that mindset cost me years of growth.
I missed opportunities.
I missed visibility.
I missed clients I could have genuinely helped… simply because they didn’t know I existed.
The Shift That Changed Everything
Today, social media is one of the biggest reasons I work with clients across the world.
It’s how people find me.
Connect with me.
Trust my work, even before we’ve had a conversation.
And I’m not here for vanity metrics.
I’m not chasing likes or followers.
But I’ve learned something powerful:
If your work changes lives, it deserves to be seen.
If I had started earlier, who knows how much further I’d be?
But there are no regrets, only lessons.
Your Work Deserves an Audience
So if you’re waiting for the “right time,” stop.
Start now.
Post that story.
Share your work.
Let people in.
You don’t need to be perfect.
You just need to be present.
Because visibility isn’t vanity…
it’s service.
