Overcome Your Visibility Fears In 2020 & Have More Impact, Influence & Income
With a chronic fear of being visible from a young age, Anna Parker Naples felt like she always had to dim her light around others... she is now an award winning female entrepreneur who has quadrupled the size of her business this year and is celebrating her latest achievement after ‘Get Visible: How To Have More Impact, Influence & Income’ hit number 1 in the bestseller book charts on Amazon outranking books by David Walliams, Alan Sugar, Elon Musk, Gary Vee and Simon Sinek!
Anna’s book was created as part of her mission to inspire other women, entrepreneurs and business leaders to be visible and in it she shares details of her personal journey, being bullied as a teenager, experiencing depression and defying doctors to walk again, when wheelchair bound. She has since applied her learnings to help her realise her potential not only personally but in business too, and the book offers tips and advice to readers of how they can do the same.
As part of taking control of her life, Anna decided to embrace Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) practices and mindset work, to grow her impact as a voiceover artist ,which saw her become nominated for five awards in Hollywood, and experience being an award winner alongside Adele and Holly Willoughby for inspiring other women and speak alongside stars such as Ruby Wax on mindfulness.
Now working as an award-winning Visibility Coach, helping clients achieve success, visibility, transformation and recognition she said: “My mission now, having been on my own journey to get comfortable with being visible, driven by the fact that I know I have so much knowledge and experience to share, is helping others who are battling their own internal challenges, taking them from Invisible to Invincible! Sometimes this means dealing with Imposter Syndrome, sometimes this means actually helping clients identify what it is that is holding them back, for others it’s being that supportive sounding board, here to listen and guide, as someone who has been through it.”
Anna’s Top Tips to Get Visible and Have Income, Impact & Influencer in 2020!
Focus on what you want
We become so attuned to what we’re not happy with in our lives but imagine what would happen if you started to focus on what you do want? I know the answer. You can achieve the kind of things that currently you can hardly conceive of. I began by looking at what I was no longer willing to accept in my life. I created a new list of what I did now want to experience and altered my choice of words to enable new pathways of thought to develop and deepen.
Connect with those who NEED to see you
One of the most important elements of success is to widen your circle of influence, become valued in your field and create feelings of trust and liking towards you. Actually, you should be creating connections that run deeper - how can you make people love you? The answer - by building relationships, trust and respect - one person at a time.
Craft Your Credibility
Credibility matters because trust, loyalty and recognition within a field are the primary reasons someone will choose to initially follow you and later to work with you or buy from you, whatever your service or product. If you want more sales, more bookings, more recommendations and more connections, establishing credibility and making this a key part of your ongoing marketing efforts is paramount. People buy from people - more importantly they buy from people they feel that they like, know and trust.
Change how you talk to yourself
Complaining, resentment, frustration and blame affect your mood and emotion, and can even have longer-term impact on the unconscious mind. At my lowest point, I thought what would happen if I changed my language emphasis to healing instead of pain? What would happen if I focused on the things I can do and that I do want, without allowing self-doubt or fear to creep in? What would happen if I ceased talking about limitations and resentments and started looking for opportunities and growth? Changing the way I spoke to myself, shifting to a more positive way of viewing things allowed me to take control of my thoughts, and tackle limiting self-beliefs.
Drill Down on Your Niche
My biggest piece of advice is to drill down on your niche! You want to be THE expert in a given area, not someone who can help anyone. You want to be the one who comes to mind for a deliberate and intentional element of what you do. The sooner you get specific, the quicker people will know who to refer to you. You become memorable, no longer vanilla and generic but a flavour that resonates with the right kind of people.
On a mission to now have impact globally last month Anna launched her Podcast, ‘Entrepreneurs Get Visible’, which enjoyed instant success, seeing her reach No3 in the iTunes Charts for business and No 11 globally for business, outranking business leaders such as Tony Robbins, Marie Forleo, Gary Vee, Amy Porterfield and even her own mentor Rob Moore.
