Just Another Speaking Event? (I WISH…)
Last weekend I was one of the speakers at Mark Anastasi’s List Building Event. I don’t know why, but I tortured myself for literally weeks before the event, didn’t sleep properly, had bad stomach on the day…. and then it went really well.
Why is that? I asked myself. Why do I always get in such a ‘mind-frick’ before going on stage when I can be almost certain it’ll be ok? Here are my guesses. Fear of failure, fear of public humiliation, fear of embarrassment, fear of loss.
Not a nice list, I know. Talk about limiting beliefs! I have worked on my ‘inner game’ for years now and still these thinking patterns keep trying to stop me (and many times succeed!).
How are you dealing with stuff like this? I have recorded a talk called fear-flip-fundamentals some time ago with James some time ago. You can get the free version of this member’s report here.
But like with all good tips and theory, sometimes when it comes to it, old habits die hard. And that includes – of course – thinking habits!
So how did it go then last weekend? Well – it was amazing! People loved it and I loved it too. We offered a proper coaching programme, as I believe that a weekend course – how ever well executed – is too much in too little time for most.
YourInternetBuddies is going well, we are about to launch the revamped members’ site and looking forward to seeing you at one of our events very soon.
to your success
