While doing my PR tasks this morning, I started sweating… as if I was about ready to make a speech. No shit, I actually got sweaty palms and pits. It surprised me. I couldn’t quite articulate to Norm, my business coach, why I was nervous. He asked me if it was related to getting my homework done on time because I had to report to him. Nope. He asked me if I truly believed that Real Joe was worthwhile and potentially helpful… implying that if not, it would make sense that I’d be nervous about promoting something I didn’t really believe in. Nope, that’s not it either.
Now that I think/write about it, I’d guess it’s just more of the old noise in my head “What will people think of me? Will they be impressed? Will I look bad?” I’ve put a lot into getting Real Joe to this point but somehow, I keep thinking I’ve got to fix this and add that before I let people know about it…. that’s it’s not good enough yet. So I have to tell myself, yes, it’s good enough to let people know about. And yes, there are a hundred things to do to make it better… and there always will be. So onward. Balls to the wall!
