Hey hey, welcome to the Human Connection podcast, I'm your host Brittney Lynn and today's episode is a solo one and I'm sharing that what you think is your problem actually isn't your problem.

Visibility is a popular "word of the year" for a lot of entrepreneurs (heck, it was mine back in 2018!) and many entrepreneurs think that they have a visibility problem.

"I'm not posting on social enough." "I'm blogging enough." "I need to be on more podcasts." "I need to speak at more online summits." ….and on and on and on.

But I'd like to challenge you on this because visibility isn't your problem. Let's get into it!

In today's episode, you'll find out:

• Why visibility isn't actually your problem
• The two things that hold people back from being visible
• The 5 core fears people have and how it affects your visibility plans
• An exercise you can do to help you break through any core fears you have around being visible
