How you doing? You’re alive, you have survived and you have purpose! The last few days I attended the #marketingimpactlive event Yes, we talked about marketing but the main focus was about Impact! Being true to our purpose...which is to share our experiences, to help others get through similar experiences a little easier, a little faster with a few less scars. I’m there, I’m ready... I started 2018 with the words/phrase Do & Take Action. This event affirmed that in many ways. Action is scary. But necessary! If you’re like me, you can get caught up in a million non-productive things or worse, you spend all your time thinking about all the things but not actually doing the thing! Why? Bc it’s scary! It takes courage to produce something! It takes a bit of getting out of the comfort zone! Well...despite my introverted, self doubt & fear, I DID something Big. • Got uncomfortable! I got an opportunity to do a small presentation in front of friends AND a film crew. I got head shots and I will have sizzle reel! • I have big goals! To achieve big goals, it requires clarity and Action... •Do it, MESSY. Another major theme this weekend was don’t worry about it being Perfect, pretty or polished. Just DO it messy! You can improve on it, but you can’t polish what doesn’t exist! •behind the scenes... what you can’t see here, I almost let my fear of failure, talk me right out of doing it! I was in my head! I put a ton of pressure on myself. • success & survival start w 1 step. I just had to get started! I knew what I was talking about but I went too fast, I lost my place, I forgot about 2 minutes of info, I got really nervous, my face & pits were sweaty, But I Survived! And I learned a lot! • Real friends make the difference. I almost backed out, but I turned to a friend. Not just a person in a group, but a real friend that wouldn’t let me shit out on myself! #richfriend Guess what? I did it! I can no longer let me fear of film freak me out. I have Editors! Their job is to make me look good. And if I end up hating it, I still did it! You see, practice makes progress! I can only get better with practice. What did you Do or should do?
