What are YOU waiting for? Is there something you want but you aren’t going for it? If so, there are probably three things holding you back.
1. You are waiting until you are 100% ready before you put yourself out there
2. You are a perfectionist and you are waiting until you’re perfect
3. You are afraid of failure and you are waiting for the fear to go away.
Guess what? No one is 100% prepared for taking on new roles, jobs, or opportunities, and that is okay. In fact, if you waiting until you were 100% prepared, you would never go for it. For perfectionists? Embrace your imperfection and go for it any way. You’re never going to be perfect! Finally, fear of failure? Shift your mindset to not be afraid of failure but to embrace it as a way to learn and grow. Remember, my dad always taught me: “The more you learn, the more you earn, the more you know, the more you grow, the more you read, the more you lead.”
It’s time to get out of your comfort zone or as I like to say, General Admission, and move to the front-row of your life. You don’t have to travel to France and learn a new language through immersion, that’s MY front-row. But do look at what you want, ask yourself what’s holding you back, and go for it. Watch today’s Front-Row Friday video for some inspiration!
