In this motivational monologue, the speaker addresses the common entrepreneurial fear of external judgment—specifically the internal narrative of "What will they think of me?". The speaker urges listeners to rewrite that story, recognizing that not everyone will be supportive and that it's unnecessary to seek universal approval. Instead, they advocate focusing on the people who are already aligned with you, embracing your imperfections as a bridge to authentic connection. By accepting that those who don’t resonate will naturally drift away, the speaker encourages a shift from fear to confidence, prompting entrepreneurs to take action and show up authentically, knowing they already possess the necessary qualities within themselves.

But maybe it's judgment, maybe the delay story, there's somebody, somebody's words have gotten into your head and that is what is replaying in your mind. What will they think of me? And we've gotta change that story to, whoo, they're not for me. The people who are for me are for me. Other people, it might be for somebody else. So you're gonna find your people when you show up saying, this is exciting, I have everything already inside me. I am ready enough 'cause my imperfections are what connect me to other people. And the people who connect with that are my people. And the people who don't, they already didn't like me, so bye-bye. Bye-bye. So we can get into action.
