You Can’t Yell Loud Enough (But You Don’t Need To)
There’s a lot of noise out there.
A lot of it is spam, a lot of it is amateur, a lot of it is vapid.
But a lot of it is good. Really good.
You already know that of course. You might spend your days trying to shout above that noise in an attempt to be heard.
You know your work has an audience out there that can be impacted by it, who can be changed by it, who may be actively looking for just what you’ve got.
But they’ve done their best to tune out you and the rest of the noise out of sheer exhaustion.
You strain your vocal cords, shout just a little louder, hoping to break through, catch just a sliver of their attention.
You’re sure that once they hear your frantically delivered pitch they’ll be yours for life.
But you can only shout so loud for so long before your voice gives out.
What if getting heard wasn’t about shouting though?
What if getting heard was actually about dropping your voice and speaking directly, intimately to people who were willing to lean in to hear what you had to say?
