Uhh so here is the rest...good news for me I love reading fiction books, I stayed up all night the day I got the last HP book because I really needed to freaking know what was going to happen to him 😆. We all want to be more fascinating in general and yup you are a fascinating person somehow🤷‍♀️ so people gravitate towards you to see what you are doing next. I am writing a simple blog just as a landing page to actually do some business, and this emails are making me rethink if I should actually infuse some personal stuff in there, but how not to annoy people? I mean my life is quite boring haha. Anyway this is interesting info not just for marketers coaches etc btw

hey Carolina, thanks for listening. Glad you're into it.

You should 100% infuse some personal stuff in there. And even when your external life is boring, your internal life is most certainly not. That's where the gold is anyway.

What about sharing personal stuff makes you think it will annoy people?

To my perception, people's emotional journey is boring to read or hear about unless they have something going on, like you said in their external life. Some cool project, a trip, dramatic interactions with people around them LOl I don't know, I also keep up when someone is very sarcastic and funny, and that is not a common trait. Maybe I'll talk about some personal stuff when something of that sort happens in the future ;)

Ahhh. This is helpful, thanks. Yes I can definitely see how people's emotional journey could be boring as hell to read or hear about.

But it doesn't have to be.

If there's some sort of transformation happening -- some change in their external environment as they're talking about the inner conflict/turmoil or emotions, that's usually at least somewhat interesting.

I'll think more about this. This is helpful. Thanks Carolina.

haha indeed. That damn It factor. Imma figure out how to decode it because it really isn't that special. Thanks again for listening and following up. Much appreciated.

just ordered orphan x, I stopped reading non-fiction this year but have been struggling to stick with a fiction book. It's weird I consumed so much self help shit for so long that I struggle to just consume entertainment, which I used to to do so easily. But I also can't consume self-help stuff anymore so I'm in bit of limbo phase, music and dance are my go tos for fun but can't wait to rediscover the beauty of fiction.

Everyone who's taken me up on the recommendation has been into it... It's v good.

Totally with you on the self-help stuff. I can barely stand that shit anymore.
