FB Projector Group Question - “Should I just quit my job & guide instead?”
I had/have so much to say to this, but it wasn’t the right timing, nor the right venue to be dropping guidance - yet.
Yes. So much to say.
She did give me permission to share the post though - so that I can share the perfect download that came from Vanessa Wesley.
What did happen for me in that moment instead was I remembered there’s a video of me doing a talk on stage about one of the concerns she mentions below - being able to do video.
Which I really appreciated remembering 😍
It’s a talk I was invited to do in 2017 through one of the marketing education companies that I’m an affiliate for (still) - at one of their earlier Masterminds, when they were doing them in a hotel ballroom. Now they rent a Manaion for the weekend ☺️
Anyhoo back to the point.
First the original post and then Vanessa’s (@bodyvoice) lovely and perfectly timed comment.

“Okay so I was thinking..
Alright if I surrender to my projector self..
Stop this job I’m working at..and guide essentially..
I was thinking okay I can try to be a healer guide on Instagram or something..thou I have low self confidence..
I’ll have to be able to present myself well on videos, etc.. be able to put effort to post content everyday..
I was like ahhh that’s seems overwhelming..or how am I going to generate money that way?
Then I was thinking the positive aspects too like ooo it’ll feel soo great to actually be heard and help people..like what if I’m better then I thought? And I’ve just been doubting myself?
After all, I’ve helped people I care for all my life with the things I know..so why not try to push that even more!
But idk..it’s really confusing..I’m saving for a wedding..getting my own place..a child in the near future! But when there’s a Will there’s a way!!
But damn living the projoector life you have to step out of your comfort zone..or at least you have to really believe in yourself, have others believe”
Here’s the comment I felt was enough, but not too much (guidance) to share -
“Maybe explore rather than push 🤔
I have an old video that generally helps people get over their fear of doing video if that would be interesting.
Requiring yourself to post content every day though … that’s a Generator trap and not actually necessary.
Instead of planting an IG flag though, start content storage somewhere that’s less transitory.
And build a list no matter what, so you’re not subject to the whims of algorithms.”
And Vanessa dropped -
“"Surrendering to being a Projector" isn't about thinking what to do as a Projector.
It isn't about stopping or starting anything.
It isn't about the work you do, or the type of work. Or on what platform your work is on.
And I'm not saying to not have any of those considerations. It's just that none of that is about Being a Projector.
"I can try to be a healer guide".... are you a healer guide? Do you have some mastery in this?
Have you been recognized and invited into this field?
Is your authority on board?
Trying to figure out anything in order for your mind to decide is incorrect for any type.
Living as yourself isn't about thinking your way to a decision.
Have you considered a reading?”

For me to actually begin to address anyone’s specific-to-them questions takes having an extended chart to at least glance at … gotta have the details or bitterness has the possibility to creep in.
Fishing around for someone’s details without being recognized first - disaster for me 🤗
