Pride and self-promotion can lead to the pursuit of likes, followers, or other forms of validation. And even Christians can start to prioritize self-glorification over humility, the opposite of biblical teachings on servanthood and modesty.
So, avoid all social media and you’ll avoid pride and self promotion.
There’s your solution. I done did all the research for ya. No need to thank me. But you’re welcome.
Of course, you might be thinking,” Wait a minute. I have a solo business to run. And I don’t have a budget to hire an advertising agency or publicist or some other kind of company to promote my business. So I have to self promote.”
Yeah, you might be thinking that. And you might also think social media is a great tool to do that. And that’s correct.
But you wanna avoid pride and self-promotion problems. Right?
So, here’s what you do. Self promote as much as you need, want, or desire. Put your name and your information, products, and services out there for everyone to see. Use whatever social media tools you have at your disposal. And just don’t make it all about YOU. Don’t brag about YOU. Because that’s how pride sneaks in. And there’s no need for it.
Besides that, as the old marketing saying goes: “People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.” And if they get the impression that you care about YOU more than helping them, you’re dead in the water.
That being said, yourself promotion should still show that you’re confident you can do what needs to be done. And here’s what I recommend to help you keep a check on your pride versus your self promotion.
Read what the Bible says about pride.
And it has a lot to say about it. And it ain’t good. Especially in the Proverbs.
Then, once you get your head on right about it, you can securely sing, along with the words to this song:
I Can Do
Outside the lines the grass is greener.
But that will not change my demeanor.
Because my life runs like a river.
I’ll take what all my days deliver.
I know the morning sun will shine,
And so, I’ll draw another line.
I’ll keep a box of all my most important things
Inside my heart where they can be
A constant song of joy to me.
I love the sound of optimism when it sings.
I can do…what I need to. I know it’s so, so I can do!
Inside the lines the route is shorter.
Outside the box there’s no recorder.
Some days your view is from the summit.
Some nights your dreams might let you plummet.
But the morning sun will shine,
And so, I’ll draw another line.
I’ll keep a box of all my most important things
Inside my heart where they can be
A constant song of joy to me.
I love the sound of optimism when it sings. © 2020
