Katie McManus gets embarrassed when her exes watch her business content, but says it's normal and doesn't hurt. Some lurk silently, others become actual supporters of her work.
So something I was terrified of when.
I first started my business that actually does happen and is absolutely mortifying is that guys I've dated or slept with do watch my reels. They do show up when I'm doing live. And, oh, my God, when I first started realizing that these guys that, like.
You know, seen me naked were watching me as I'm, like, here talking about my business and what I do and.
Blah, blah, blah, when I was already super insecure about showing up in this way, I died. I died. Like, I would be in the middle of my God especially lives. I'd be in the middle of a live, and I'd see, like, Especially if you're doing a live on Facebook live back in the day, you could see the little, like, name show up with their little face, and it would just be like, oh, my God, that guy's here. That guy's here. He's seen me naked.
Oh, God. And I'd be like in the middle.
Of a sentence, and I'd be talking about, you know, something to do with my clients and work, and I just completely go beat red. I'd start sweating.
I just get super, super nervous.
I'd start stuttering and stammering. It was so, so awkward. And I'm sorry, if you're starting a business and this is something that you're afraid of, I. I hate to break it to you, but it does happen, and it will happen. And you know what?
Like, honestly, some of the guys I've dated are some of my biggest supporters on social media. They'll DM me like, that video is great, or they'll like the stuff that I post, and. Or sometimes they'll just be like little silent lurkers in the background.
But I see you guys. I can see my analytics. But yeah, it definitely happens, and I'm.
Still not 100% comfortable with it.
But you know what?
Like, it hasn't hurt my business so far. And, you know, it just is one of the things that just makes life a little more interesting.
So, anyway, sorry if I have terrified.
Anyone and made you feel like you.
Absolutely do not want to promote yourself on your social media accounts. I just feel like you should be.
Warned that it does happen.
And hi, I'm Katie, your practical business strategist, and I really cannot wait to see who shows up in my comments.
