When it’s ok to toot your own horn

As much as I like to talk about my life and how far I’ve come, I honestly don’t like to talk much about my successes. Well, I kinda do but I mostly don’t.

I talk an awful lot about how I’ve gone from 0 to hero on Pinterest (and can almost consider myself an expert) and also tend to ‘brag’ (not really) about my big (read useless) Facebook page. I love to share my stories with you about how I traded in 53 years of my life in Canada and jumped on a plane to Guatemala, alone, with 2 suitcases, on a one way ticket.

I love to talk about how I’ve finally got my website near perfect (in my eyes, though there’s still work to be done) and have finally been accepted into a higher ad paying agency.

Oh, and I couldn’t wait to share my exciting news that Neil Patel tweeted me. I mean, come on, who wouldn’t be excited to share that?!

Look at me!! Wait, no don’t.

I really want to share all those things with you but I have to be honest. It makes me really uncomfortable. I hate bragging and I loathe people who brag for the simple sake of making themselves look…
