Just wanted to share I’ve exciting news today which really confirms it pays to push your comfort zone out. I’ll be presenting “Ditch the Bitch” at the National Speakers Association of Australia Convention in Canberra in just 2 weeks!
So remember to push your inner bitch aside and back yourself. Saying YES to yourself is one of biggest confidence builders you can create. It doesn’t matter if they say no, this time, because you are now already out there in spirit, which makes a yes next time much more likely.
Rather than thinking of it as ‘getting out of your comfort zone’, a little scary, think of it as pushing your comfort zone out further so you have more room to play. Doesn’t that feel better, and more possible?
Even though I spend my days helping others clear their head trash, my own inner bitch peeped out briefly when the call for speakers went out, but I reminded myself they were big enough to decide for themselves to say yes or no. Actually, applying was very much about me giving myself a vote of confidence, and I felt FABULOUS hitting the send button on the application. The answer didn’t matter.
Although I was pipped at the post on what I’d applied for, my blurb was sent on to all the state presidents as a potential speaker for chapter events – that was an unexpected bonus. Later this other Convention opportunity was offered to me. How nice to be asked! Imagine where it can lead!
When have you said no on someone’s behalf, that is, not even applied for that position, or asked for the sale, or invited a potential new friend out? You may not be a perfect fit, and yes, they probably are busy this week, but what if they have a different role perfect for you and what if they would love to go out, this week or next? You’ll never know if you pre-empt their decision with a no from yourself.
My next Personal Power Boost free webinar series will be starting soon, so keep a look out for the invite, and yes, ‘Ditch the Bitch’ will be one of the topics. If you’re not on my list, join up on the right and get an eye-opening short but powerful ebook too.
