I know I’ve told you the importance of saying yes to less to reduce your stress. In fact, when you signed up for my weekly video series, you got a PDF article of that same title. (P.S. If you didn’t get it, let me know I’ll send it right over). But, in today’s Front-Row Friday video, I want you to say YES to success! Say yes to opportunities, say yes to getting out of your comfort zone! I’m excited because in today’s video I talk about being asked to fill in for another speaker who was doing a session for 20 restaurant owners here in Las Vegas. David Scott Peters asked me to fill in. David and I haven’t seen each other for about 10 years, but he never forgot that I’m a force, specifically in the foodservice space. I have a ton of restaurant, franchise, supplier and other foodservice related clients that I’ve done work for, but usually a one-hour keynote for a GM or owner’s conference. What he was asking me to do was ALL three of my offerings in one day! I haven’t done a 3–4-hour training in years, but he was convinced that my message would resonate with his private group. And, I said yes. I said yes to getting out of my comfort zone and created a four-hour workshop based on all three of my programs, and I had a blast! They each told me how impactful our day was together, but I was the one who was impacted. Had I not said yes, I wouldn’t have had so much fun with this group. I also wouldn’t have thought of adding an additional offering to my past (and future) clients. I’m not just a hall of fame keynote speaker, but I’m a hell of a workshop leader and consultant. And that feels good. So, on this Front-Row Friday, take a minute to say Yes to what scares you. Say yes to getting out of your comfort zone and say yes to your success!
