In 2012, I bombed big time. I sat outside a big corporate office in our minivan, dressed up in a suit and tie. I had just tried pitching my first corporate client and I had made a fool of myself.
I held a big 3 inch thick binder full of someone else’s content. I talked way too much. I listened way too less. I stumbled and bumbled along with the worst presentation known to humankind.
On the verge of tears, I told myself all kinds of lies:
“I’m not cut out for this.”
“I’ll just stay stuck in my day job the rest of my life.”
“No one will ever hire me.”
I stood at the plate, taken the biggest swing of my life, and struck out big time. I felt hot and sweaty from embarrassment and I wanted to crawl under a rock for the rest of my life.
In this raw and candid episode I tell this story for the first time.
If you want to track my progress over the past 5 years, this was one of the lowest points. But then something changed. I made one major tweak and then literally overnight my results shifted. I began to super rocket my success as an author, coach, and speaker.
I think you’ll find encouragement in this episode as you realize you can make this one tweak too.
