Visibility issues show up in many, many ways. Put a checkmark next
to your excuses. Try to be completely honest with yourself. No one
is watching ...for now. Hint, if you find yourself criticizing others for
behaving in ways you read on this list, put a checkmark beside that
too.
I'm too fat for photos or I don't like having my picture taken.
I have to take care of (insert: kids, husband, boyfriend, parent)
first. I can't be selfish.
I can't raise my rates in this economy. I'm lucky to be
working.
What if people think I'm full of myself?
What if my husband, boyfriend, sister, or best friend feels
threatened because I'm doing better than them?
I'll (insert: write my book, raise my rates, get published)
SOMEDAY.
I'm not technical and I don't get social media.
I don't have time to do anything else. I have too much on my
plate.
I can't afford to get help.
What I do has always worked. I don't need help.
I work constantly as it is. I'm afraid I won't have time for my
family if I get busier.

Nobody does (whatever you're positive that only you can do)
as well as me. I don't have time to train someone and I'll just
do it myself.
My work's not good enough to get press.
Me? There's nothing special about me.
I can't ask for what I really, really want.
I can't have the luxury of working with clients I like; I have to
pay the bills.
I don't know what I want.
I can't afford to invest in my business.
I'm too nervous to be on camera. I freeze up when people ask
me questions I'm not prepared for.
All my clients are by referral. None of this Twitter, Pinterest
and Facebook stuff is going to help me get clients.
I've got a lot of ideas. I'm going to work on that one
tomorrow... or maybe this one? But I've also got this other
cool idea.
I'm afraid to have more business. What if I can't manage the
growth?
I hate change.
I'm scared.
I can't raise my rates because my existing clients will never
pay me THAT.
