067: Why Brilliant People Hide (And What It's Costing You) with Danielle Garber

up that is so huge and so relatable in so many so many ways like first of all you when you were talking about the marketing team of one and I think that you know lots of people listening to this podcast will relate to that where it's you know how do I bring that idea to life I haven't got a team of graphic designers that can pull it together and AI is still not like quite there yet and you know some people have got remote teams and people that can help but When you're starting out and don't have the budget for that, it is a case of figuring it all out yourself.

And I think, yeah, I certainly related to a lot of what you were saying there about, well, I went and learned how I figured out this, I did it on there.

And I've done a lot of that too.

And I think that's okay.

You learn so much by self-teaching and doing.

And then, yes, when you have the budget, not only can you delegate better because you know what you can do, so then you can get somebody who's even better than you to do a better job.

I think, yeah, we do wear lots of hats as business owners, especially in the early days, but that is okay.

You've kind of joined the dots backwards, which we always do when we get to this point, I think, in our lives and careers as we go, oh, now I can see why all the steps of that journey.

They kind of played a part like the high heels in boardrooms to the actually, why can't I go in there like this? was an identity thing in itself.

And now here you are, I believe, correct me if I'm wrong, but actually helping people with exactly that and bringing their identity to the work they do and how they present that to the world.

Because ultimately, If we're in business, we are in marketing in some way.

We've always got to be marketing ourselves or our business in order for it to actually be more than a hobby.

So it's all connected.

It's all relevant.

And it's just brought you to this place now that I think is just incredible.

It's like the heart center of what you're here for, right? What you are here to do.

Yeah,

it feels like that.

I mean, I think so many people and I made the mistake myself when I started my business is that so many people think that they have to present themselves a certain way.

Yeah.

be marketable and to put themselves out into the world and you know I was there I had like a full kind of like a full circle moment last year because we we got married in Costa Rica we have a love affair with Costa Rica we go back most years we've got friends that live out there now like it's just it's for us it's so special

I thought you lived there at one point because I'd seen it popping up and I was like oh my god she's emigrated

we're literally we're there quite a lot We were there last year and I've been working.

So one of the places that we stay when we go out there, they've actually, they're changing.

So they were always a surf resort and they are kind of evolving into this surf and wellness resort now.
