This is how to Show Up

Show Up
Almost everyone says, “success starts with showing up,” but how exactly do you do that?

Uplifting & educating
I liked that examples were drawn from different areas; from children and even road construction. The writing was matter-of-factly – This book was very inspiring, motivating and uplifting but not at the expense of educating me.

So many Gems!!
It's easy to read, so insightful, and there are so many gems that I don't even know where to start. Like I already wanted to start highlighting!! As someone who struggles with self-promotion, this helped me start to reframe my mindset and my approach to marketing myself and my work.

Done struggling
I felt like the author knew my struggle and addressed every aspect. I’m usually confused about what to post about on social media, because I seem to be passionate about many things. But, reading this, I realize I’m a multi-passionate person and I’ll reflect just that.

Illustrative storytelling
I liked where the author used feedback she received from a customer to describe how that customer relationship happened & blossomed from someone who was just a member of the audience to a paying customer. Her story illustrated the point and it kept me hooked.

A veritable blueprint
I loved how Tolu Michaels broke down limiting beliefs one after the other. The words were spot on, relatable and easy to understand. I just couldn't breeze through; I had to stop and think for most pages PLUS the template and questions; this is rich!! This is a veritable blueprint for becoming a known expert and for showing up at the same time.

Reassuring & Educative
Show Up is reassuring as much as it is educative.
I love how the author shares her story from not knowing how to start her dream business to creating her own path because she was inspired by others who were 'showing up'.
I look forward to implementing the 4 pathways for turning my skills into products, as described in the book.

Timely Must-Read
From the first line, I could totally relate! This is a must-read for everyone, especially in these times where there's so much emphasis on profit and little attention to purpose.
It felt like Tolu was speaking to just me! I found it inspiring and it's one of the most practical books I've ever read.

Simplicity, Wisdom.. A Masterpiece!
I picked up my Show Up book to read just one chapter only tonight, to remind myself of personal branding but I haven't been able to drop it.
I'm reminded of the relatable stories, simplicity and wisdom expressed in the book.
It's a masterpiece and again, I want to say thank you for showing up and for writing this book.

First book I'm finishing in a long time.
'Show Up' is the first book I am finishing in a long time.
A lot of action items and very relatable and valuable information.
For the first time, I am not overwhelmed with ideas and no clear steps to take. I am starting from where I am with clear laid down goals. You will be hearing more from me, on the world stage and also in your mailbox.
Thank you for showing up.

Actionable Manual
Show Up is a go-to manual. Every time I get stuck, I go back to read and find my way out. The book is actionable and takes the reader from where they are to where they want to be.
The interesting part is, I first borrowed the book from a colleague. We were talking about personal branding and she offered to lend a book that does justice to the topic.
Now, I'm getting my own copy, and will also gladly recommend the book to others.
