Episode #410: Don't Ask Me To Be Loud by Nicole Kepic
Don't Ask Me To Be Loud The Introverted Girl’s Guide to Online Business Hello Reader. Not every business owner dreams of center stage. Some of us feel more at home behind the scenes—taking things in, thinking before jumping in. That doesn’t make us any less driven or confident in what we do. It just means we’re wired differently. In this week’s episode of the Success Through Community Podcast, we curled up with Don’t Ask Me To Be Loud: The Introverted Girl’s Guide to Online Business by Nicole...
READ POSTToo loud? Too quiet? Or just right?
Reader Roundtable: What's Your Take? Hello Reader. This week, I shared a quote on the podcast that stuck with me:“If I’m too much, maybe you need to find less.” (Thanks, Elyse Myers.) It got me thinking—this isn’t just about being too loud.It’s also about being told you’re too quiet. Too visible. Not visible enough. Too direct. Too reserved. Wherever you land, your voice matters. You don’t have to dial it up or down to fit in. So tell us: Have you ever felt pressure to be louder—or...
READ POSTWhat if visibility isn’t the problem?
This week's Page Turner Hello Reader. I’ve mentioned it on the podcast before: people are always telling me, “You need to go live more. People want to see your face.” And I get it—video has its place. I’m not against being on camera. I’ve even started dipping a toe back in. But the live, off-the-cuff stuff? That’s where it stops feeling like me. Everywhere you look, someone’s shouting about visibility like it’s the holy grail. Post more. Be louder. Show up constantly. And if you’re not doing...
READ POSTWhat did/would you do?
This week’s Roundtable is about the wins no one sees. Hi Reader. I tried my hand at Direct Sales in my 30's. I watched the people above me who were super successful, I showed up for all their training, I followed their plans to a tee. None of it worked for me. That's when I came to the realization that the only way I was going to find their success was to become them. That didn't work for me either. Have you ever had to decide between becoming someone else, or walking away? What did/would you...
READ POSTYou don't have to become someone else...
This week's Page Turner Hi Reader. Ya know what I hate about networking events? It seems like the only people who get anything out of them are the people who monopolize the conversation. That’s not me…and not who I want to be. That’s why I’m so grateful that this month’s book, Don’t Ask Me To Be Loud, gives practical strategies for people like me, the quiet ones. Don’t miss this episode! It drops tomorrow!Kelly and Joelene SPOTIFY APPLE PODCASTS IHEARTRADIO AMAZON MUSIC
READ POSTClap for yourself
This week’s Roundtable is about the wins no one sees. Hi Reader. This week, we’ve been talking about what it really feels like to grow your business quietly. It’s not always obvious.It’s not always visible.And most of the time, no one’s clapping for it. So this week’s question is simple: What’s something you’ve done lately that you’re proud of—even if no one else noticed? Big or small. Visible or behind the scenes.Something you did that mattered to you. Hit reply and let us know, we love...
READ POSTIf the quiet path feels hard right now…
This week's Page Turner Hi Reader. We’ve been talking about The Silent Seller, and this week, I want to turn the page toward something that the book implied but didn’t really say outright: What it actually feels like to grow your business quietly. It isn’t as easy as it sounds, to run a business that doesn’t rely on being loud. Yes, it is slower. It is less reactive. And honestly? Sometimes it feels a little risky. Because building a business quietly means trusting yourself more than you’re...
READ POSTReader Roundtable: What’s Your Quiet Selling Strategy?
Reader Roundtable: What's Your Take? Hello Reader. This month' episode reminded us that selling doesn’t have to mean shouting. In fact, some of the most successful businesses are the ones showing up quietly, consistently, and authentically. So here’s our question for you: ➡ What’s one way you’ve “quietly sold” your work that surprised you with results? Reply and share—We’d love to highlight a few of your strategies in a future email! Here’s to building businesses that last, quietly. Kelly and...
READ POSTWhy Quiet Businesses Stand Out
This week's Page Turner Hello Reader. The world is loud—online marketing especially. That’s why businesses that practice quiet selling stand out. One of my favorite lines from this week’s episode of Success Through Community is this: Be the library, not the billboard.” A billboard shouts at you, then disappears in your rearview mirror. A library, on the other hand, invites you in, makes you feel at home, and keeps you coming back. What would it look like to build your business like a library...
