A short podcast trailer excerpt (created/uploaded by Jim James, 2022-05-16) featuring an interviewer asking Shelley for the single key takeaway from giving a TEDx talk. Shelley's concise advice is to "go for it," arguing that attempting challenging goals yields personal growth, transferable confidence, and valuable experience for future challenges.
There's one key takeaway, Shelley, from taking the challenge of doing a TedX. What would that be? What would be the one takeaway for you?
I think the one takeaway would be to go for it. I think as any big thing that you might do in your life, whether it be a marathon or getting married or doing anything, there is a lot to be said for the process of doing something that you didn't even think was possible before you started. Just that fact. And the journey is already something which will stand you in good stead for many other challenges that you might take. And how you do one thing is how you do everything. And knowing that you can achieve that gives you some confidence in other areas of your life, too. So I would say if you're in any doubt, go for it, because you never know what it will lead to.
How can this be easy? The mindset approach approach to change how you build your business.
