I think if we're not scared, we're doing it wrong.

I asked Steven Pressfield, who's the author of The War of Art the other day, it's one of my favorite authors.

I said, how do you know what's the right book to write?

How do you know what to camp out on, what your next project is?

And he said, oh, that's easy.

He just said, I asked myself, does this scare me?

And I was like, wow.

And then he said, and then I asked one more question.

I say, am I seized with love for it?

And I was like,

Because I think fear and love actually coexist.

Sort of fear is telling us what we're supposed to do.

Fear is calling to us and is really an expression because we love it so much and we love people so much.

We want to serve so hard that I think if you're called as a...

influencer, as a leader, as an expert, as an advisor, as a coach or consultant, we're all going to experience that to some degree because we love what we do.

So I would say do it anyway.

I love to say do it now.

I loved how Steven Pressel was like, that's the sign.

That's the signal.

That's how you know.
