I was talking to a new client the other day about his skills and abilities.

He said something along these lines: “I *know* what I do is good. I just need the right people to notice. I just don’t know what to say, and I hate posting on social media.”

**So I stopped him, and asked, “Where does that confidence come from?”**

He then began to recount his education, his accomplishments, his accolades, his experiences.

And I immediately understood why he was confident.

And I immediately saw where his content was going to come from.

**Because, when directly asked, he was happy to *demonstrate to me* everything he was capable of. Confidently and directly.**

But when he thinks about posting on social media, or recording a video, or promoting himself, he gets stuck and frustrated.

So the solution for him, and perhaps maybe even for you, is this simple one:

Don’t try to *tell people*, as if they don’t care, what you do.

***Demonstrate to them* what you’re capable of, as if they’ve asked.**

Create content that explains how you got to where you are, the decisions that led there and the tradeoffs you’ve made to establish yourself.

**Because when you’re talking to someone, *demonstrating* to someone who actually cares, you have all the confidence in the world.**

Just remember this: Your ideal clients *care* about what you have to say, what you have to show.

**So show them.**
