The One Thing That Is Holding You Back01/30/2025Hey Reader, I hate scripting my videos, so I use bullet points. Even then I'm going on a whim that something will work. And most times... it doesn't. But those few times that it does, it's worth it. What lessens the blow of each one flopping is by doing more. Yes, more. More repetitions. More failures. More opportunities to try something different. I'd rather spend 2 hours working on a video that gets 10,000 views rather than work on one for 10 hours that gets 1,000. But the one thing that holds most of us back, is the fear of failure. Because you may put in hours of work on something you fall in love with, but are fearful that no one else will appreciate it. So, you don't go through with it. It sits on your hard drive, collecting digital dust. I can assure you, that I have hundreds of hours of video locked away in my cold storage drive that will likely never see the light of day. Because I put it away out of fear of others seeing it. But in reality, it could have been amazing. And people could have related to the stories on those clips. So now I'd rather be the one tha tputs something out, no matter what the result is. Than be the one that regrets not putting something out there for the world to see. We all deserve a chance to be seen. But we have to meet that halfway point. Because no one is looking for you. You have to make yourself seen. I struggle with this currently, for I'm determining when I start the launch for my next live workshop. I have this fear that it won't pan out. And to be transparent, the last attempt was utterly garbage. It hurt so bad how poorly I did it, I almost gave up trying again. But I keep that thought in my head of "Keep Going" which has been my mantra for some time now. My family depends on me to keep going. And I know that what I have to offer is something worth putting out there, to be seen. I keep fighting in my head, "Do I start the launch now or wait until I move into our new house?" And the stress that's been on me during this house buying process tells me to wait. But my fear of not doing enough and giving up on my goals is telling to to fucking go for it. Because there's a small chance that some of you are looking for a way to be seen. And I know what it takes to get to that point. It's not just my family who depends on me making this work, it may even be some of you and your families because you have a similar goal. To own your time, where you work, who you work with, when you work. Even as I sit here typing this, my 8 month old daughter is trying to play with me. I struggle with giving up because I want what's best for her. And what's best for her is time with her parents... We give up so much time for everything else and put ourselves last. I don't want that anymore. So, I'm fighting through my fear of failure, live, in front of you. And I'm urging you to do the same. For what's on the other side is up to you. And you can make it great, or make it the same. Do you want to be in the same spot forever? What Can I Help You With? |
