Shauna Thoresen admits she still overthinks before recording videos, even after years of doing it. She compares that dread to pre-workout jitters and argues discomfort is where growth happens. The difference between people who succeed and those who don't isn't confidence, it's pushing through anyway.

Okay, I have a confession. That's me sitting here with my camera all ready to go, my microphone ready. I got my little outline trying to record a YouTube video, and I have been procrastinating all day. Look, just because something feels uncomfortable doesn't mean that you're not doing the right thing sometimes to grow your business. I have recorded so many different videos, so much different content, spoken at events. I led a training this morning with a group of agents, and yet still, whenever it comes to me sitting down and getting in front of the camera, there is something in me, my Overthinking brain. I'm a recovering overthinker. They will try to stop me from doing it. But you know what? Sometimes the same thing happens whenever I go to work out. I'm not always like super excited. I'm kind of dreading it, and I have to like go through the movement to do the right thing. And so the purpose of this is just to say, sometimes you see people out there and it looks like they have it all together, when in reality they're struggling too. They just choose to push through the struggle. So this is your wake-up call. It's time for you to start posting on your socials.
