Day 13: Getting out of my way.

Ever passed up an opportunity because you felt your weren't right for it? Good enough for it? Or ready for it?

I have, and almost did again.

But not this time. An opportunity came my way, and my initial reaction was: "I'm not qualified." Even though there were plenty of "qualified" people telling me I was, and offering me the chance.

But the more I thought about it, the more I realized I am qualified. I do know what I am talking about and what I'm doing, why wouldn't I jump at this?

So I jumped.

And I will be teaching a class on a certain subject I have plenty of experience with starting in July.

There are always people willing to give you a chance I think; it's us that get in our own way.

YESTERDAY'S CHALLENGE:

Yesterday's task was a pain, truly. I wanted to give up so many times - but I didn't. I sat down and sorted everything: finances, emails, letters - a ton of things I'd been avoiding - and I just did it. There were things I didn't really want to look at, but by the end I was glad I did. None of it was a tough as I thought. And I'm finding, it rarely is.

TODAY'S CHALLENGE: Launching Private Lessons.

I have loved teaching and sharing knowledge I have in a certain subject. I have coached actors and aspiring hosts on and off for some time. I really enjoy it, and this time I am going full force with it: including a website (which is an absolute pain - but I'm learning!) to announce private lessons avail! I like watching people hit their fullest potential, and if I can help in anyway - I'm going to!

...Because I do know what I'm talking about in regards to that. : )

  1. I can attest to that!

    Your coaching got me a callback (and the role) as a host for Discovery Channel... too bad the show didn't happen!

    But I wouldn't have stood a chance without your coaching... :)

    I'll recommend you!
