I woke up this morning feeling a little disappointed. I was very nervous for the call that I had hosted last night to discuss what the coaching opportunity is last night. I actually was able to talk myself out of my nervousness. I was very consciously aware that I felt my Grandpaps presence with me and that was really comforting. I knew he was telling me to just be myself, be true and honest, and share what I love. That was enough for me. More than half way through the presentation, I became aware that the listeners were not seeing my slides change when I changed them. For a good 25 minutes or so, they only saw my first slide. It shook me a little bit, and I felt so awful! I was less upset about the fact that I had spent a decent amount of time making my slides and no one was seeing them, but mainly upset that they had to stare at my picture for that long!! They werent seeing the information that I was presenting, and Im sure it was difficult to pay attention for this reason. I only hope that what I shared vocally was enough to keep people interested. I literally got up out of bed, and went directly to the couch and sulked for a little bit. I listened to the recording of my call, and I had a mind shift. So Im not great with computers....Im learning as I go....Im learning a lot as I go in this business. Im learning that FAILING FORWARD sometimes better than getting it right the first time!!! I think my best lessons in life have been learned by failing. Honestly I think failure, might get a bad rap. Its really not a bad thing, Ive just recently decided. Failure itself is not a bad thing....its what we do with our failures that determine the positivity or negativity of the situation. I didnt fail! Yah, my slides didnt work right, and now its a recording on my YouTube channel. I actually tried to figure out how I could fix it and make it look better....should I do another video? Nah, I thought. I plan to be a in this business for a very long time. Im sure Ill get hundreds of opportunities to redeem myself at some point. Its not about being perfect for me, its about me just being me for me. And for those of you who know me...Im clumsy, Ive made plenty of mistakes in my life, and I dont often get it right the first time. Ive been a learn things the hard way, kind of girl for a long time. Thats just who I am. Whats important? I did something Ive never done before. I stepped outside of my comfort zone. I allowed myself to be vulnerable. I challenged myself. And all of that has allowed for personal growth. I didnt FAIL....not even a little bit as far as Im concerned. I had my husband, Benjamin supporting me, and I know I made him proud.
