Once you do it one time, you realize, man, not as hard as I thought. And I bring that up because I challenge you, whether it's in your personal life, in your business. What are you avoiding right now? Because it feels really hard. You know, one thing we see in our world is with a lot of the clients we work with content, putting yourself out there, building a brand for a lot of people, it's uncomfortable because putting a putting yourself out there comes with a lot of other people's opinions, right? It comes with a lot of fears of comparison, judgment, and failure. And it's amazing the. The people we work with that are deathly afraid to put their first video out there, and then once they hit post, they realize, oh, that actually wasn't that bad. Or as a leader, you got to have that tough conversation with an employee, and you've been avoiding it, and then you finally have it, and you realize, man, really wasn't that bad. Or, hey, you've been trying to get inside the door of that big prospect, and you've been avoiding picking up the phone or sending the email or maybe even dropping in. And then you do and you go, man, it really wasn't that bad.
This lesson about do hard things, I think it's something we have to apply to our life every day.
