What is Healthy Narcissism?

- She emphasizes that this doesn’t mean acting like a textbook narcissist, but rather finding genuine delight in your work and marketing efforts.
Creating from a Place of Delight
- Chelsea advises against creating content from a place of frustration or resentment, as this energy can be felt by your audience and affect engagement.
- Instead, she encourages listeners to be genuinely excited and delighted by the content they create, making the process enjoyable rather than a chore.
Practical Tips for Shifting Your Mindset
- Reflect on past creations that brought you joy and revisit them to reignite that excitement.
- Choose marketing tasks that you actually enjoy, and don’t force yourself to use platforms or formats that don’t resonate with you.
- Consistency is key, and finding joy in the process will make it easier to show up regularly and refine your messaging over time.
Getting High on Your Own Supply
- Chelsea suggests watching, reading, or listening to your own content with the same enthusiasm and pride that you would have as a child showing off a new creation.
- By being your own biggest fan, you can maintain the energy and momentum needed to stay consistent in your marketing efforts.
Final Thoughts
- The more you show up and engage with your content, the clearer you’ll become on what works and what doesn’t.
- Embrace your weirdness, get obsessed with your own content, and let that energy drive your business forward.
