š Real Moment From Todayās Networking Eventā¦
Today I was at a book signing + networking event.
I interviewed several authors who were selling their books. I told each one:
āIām a videographer. Iād love to connect on Instagram. Iām going to piece these clips together and tag you so more people can discover your work.ā
By the fourth author, I got a different response.
She said,
āOhā¦ Iām not really on social media.ā
And she declined the interview.
Let that sit for a second.
Youāre at a book signing.
You wrote a book.
Youāre selling a product.
But you donāt want visibility.
That means:
- I will probably never see her again.
- No one beyond that room will know about her book.
- Her reach stays limited to friends and family.
And instead of getting frustrated, I realized something deeperā¦
This is why some entrepreneurs stay hidden.
Not because they arenāt talented.
Not because they donāt have something valuable.
But because they are uncomfortable with visibility.
šØ Visibility Is Not Vanity ā Itās Responsibility
Especially in our African-American community.
If we donāt connectā¦
If we donāt networkā¦
If we donāt documentā¦
Our solutions stay small.
Your book is not just a book.
Your business is not just a business.
Your story is not just a story.
Itās a solution.
And solutions deserve to be seen.
š„ The Hard Truth
You cannot build impact in isolation.
Networking isnāt optional.
Social media isnāt āextra.ā
Visibility isnāt ego.
Itās distribution.
And distribution multiplies influence.
š§ Community Question:
Be honestā¦
What are some of your fears about:
- Having an online presence?
- Showing up on video?
- Networking with strangers?
- Being seen consistently?
