One day I had this “ crazy ” idea to become a professional speaker who would empower others and inspire the ambitious to live their dreams .
When I first had this idea come into my mind I instantly rejected it . I thought , “ I ’ m not good enough !”, “ I have never done it before .”, “ You are not cut out for that !”… all types of negative assumptions began to run through my mind . On top of that , I had aspirations to encourage others to live their dreams and I was in a place in my life where I found it difficult to barely encourage myself . I had recently graduated from college and received my bachelors degree . Being the first to graduate from higher education in my family , I was debt free after paying for my tuition out of pocket . I was working full-time in sales and I was also an active competing boxer … but still , I knew that I wasn ’ t utilizing all of my gifts , leveraging my talents , and tapping into my full potential . Behind closed doors I was lacking confidence in myself but deep within I knew that there was greater in store for my life .
… but , I was afraid to move forward . I was afraid of the unknown . I was intimidated by the uncertain . I wasted all of my focus on what could go wrong instead of investing my focus on what could go right .
