A shy, overweight kid learned that confidence comes from action, not planning. He overcame cold calling fears through repeated rejection, which made him tougher. Stop waiting and make the call.
Growing up, I was always that shy chubby kid who didn't really have an awful lot of confidence. And in order to build my confidence, I used to think I had to get everything right on paper, in my head. I have to come up with a plan and make sure things would go to plan. I then learnt in my adult life, and this is what you should do from my experiences, you should just do the thing. Today we're cold calling. Once upon a time, that would have made me feel paralyzed, like proper paralyzed. Now I actually thrive off it. Although I am still scared because I'm human, I now know, and you should know, and you should Take action by not procrastinating and thinking what you got to do. Just get up, pick up that phone, make the call, shoot the shot. You miss everything that you don't take anyway. And for me, today is proof to my younger self to A, outwork myself down, and B, you should just try. It's already, you know, it's not going to get any worse. And in the process of all this rejection, you actually become a tougher person, and that helps because it builds up your ability to keep on selling.
