Do you feel uncomfortable when you go to events? I've done a lot of events because I host so many of them, and I'll tell you what, even myself sometimes gets a little uncomfortable when there's a lot of people around. But the thing that you have to understand is that this is a moment, these types of events, this is a moment of growth for you, so we have to get outside of our comfort zone. So if I had one piece of advice, it would be to really focus on getting outside of that comfort zone, getting out of the normal autopilot that you're in. The person that you meet could be the game changer, could be the shift for you. So it's only 1 day, 2 days, 3 days, no matter what your event is, that's the moment for you to get a little uncomfortable because that's the moment everything could change for you.
