It's a promise that you're gonna fail if you are to ever succeed greatly! Over the past few months, I have learned and implemented so many different things in efforts of achieving my goals. Some of those things have worked well, and others have been embarrassing failures.
Today, I want to take time to appreciate a small victory- I have generated nearly 200 leads, and have also made my first $20. Though I could look at such a small feat as another stepping stone, or even a source of embarrassment that I have not gone further faster, I choose to celebrate my victory today. Because today, I am one monumental step closer to my goal.
Over the past few months, I've also learned that holding onto fears takes real energy and effort. I personally have been fearful of certain methods because of the vulnerability and knowing that if I do fail, I will be on display for the world to see.
Additionally, I have learned that in order to come into my next level of leadership over the coming months, I will have to step out into the face of fear for everyone to see, and do things that will most likely cause controversy.
It's the mark of a true leader to take chances, fail great, and succeed greater. Now is the time that I must raise the stakes and go all in. There are always people watching- particularly after you make a commitment! Now that the spotlight is mine, it's time to really perform. However, the ONLY thing I owe them is to be an example!
Today, I challenge you as I challenge myself daily to be strong enough to let go of fear.
Until next time...
Make it happ'n!
