Evan Carmichael shares two stories about facing fear: his first on-camera recording and first keynote, both terrifying. He says fear is normal and necessary for progress. Identify what you're avoiding, accept the fear, and do it anyway.
Today's Monday Minute is step into fear. There are things that you need to do in your business and in your life to achieve your goals that you are afraid of, and you need to get over that fear and do them if you want to bust out of your average life. The first time I got up in front of a camera to make a recording, I was nervous, I was scared, I was sweating, my heart was pounding. The first time I got up on stage to do my first keynote presentation at a conference, the whole week before that I was secretly hoping that they would call me and tell me, "Evan, it's cancelled. You don't have to come. It's off." I was so afraid, but I knew that I needed to do these things to get me to where I am now, and I'm going to have to face more things that I'm going to be afraid of to get me to the next step. So if there's something that you're afraid of, it's okay to be afraid. You don't have to be Superman. Fear is normal, but don't let that fear hold you back from doing something great. Belief.
