I wanted to start doing some speaking.
This is a dream of mine that I haven’t talked about very much.
The dreams that are nothing but a seedling and close to my heart, I keep close to my heart, because I don’t want anyone talking me out of them before they have taken root.
I was a lucky teenager. As my Mom and Dad were building their business, I was exposed to some really great speakers at seminars they took us to. They were inspired to build a great business, I was inspired to be the speaker.
But I never told anyone.
I remember seeing Peter Legge at the stampede grounds, and already feeling the shame based thoughts of “who am I” to think I could be on stage and inspire people.
I know I shut that dream down back then… but when I decided to start blogging, I could finally see an avenue that might get me there.
So here I am, 3 days before my first speaking event and I’ve given myself a headache for 3 consecutive days as I prepare for Wednesday night and try to break through the blocks I built 25 years ago.
Like Zig Ziglar said, “anything worth doing is worth doing poorly until you can do it better”… but I still have a voice in the back of my mind saying, “please don’t let me suck”.
I would love for you all to be there with me.
