I can tell you this.

I am so much of a better, more powerful, deliberate, intentional, successful speaker today than I was in 2018.

And maybe that's why I didn't get booked back then.

Maybe that's a gift because imagine if the biggest speaking bureaus in the world started booking me back then.

And I wasn't as good as I had the potential to be.

The difference is over the last four years, I've spoken for, I mean, literally a thousand, at least different events, companies, summits.

I can't even tell you how many, that's what I've been doing now for four years.

So maybe this window of time and this waiting period.

was allowing me to build up my competence and put the reps in and put the time in to really refine my craft and become the best that I could be so that's how I'm choosing to see it so if you're waiting on some big goal and you're starting to forget about it don't forget about it even if it is four years or six years or whatever it is keep putting the reps in keep putting the work in don't

give up it could be right around the corner because it literally just happened for me this week which is so crazy okay here's another progression one that I want to share with you and then I promise I'll let you go okay so back in I don't know if it was 2018 or 2019 I don't remember

A professor from Harvard sent me a DM on LinkedIn in response to a video I'd created about sales, right?

So I created content, which started the domino effect.

He responded to that content I created and said, hey, you'd be a great guest speaker for my class at Harvard.

Would you come in and teach a class for me?

And I was beyond overwhelmed.

I was so nervous.

I had Harvard on a pedestal.

I put him on a pedestal.

I put me beneath everyone, right?

The minute we put others on a pedestal, we're putting ourselves beneath them.
