I've added a new 'skill' over the last couple of weeks.
I now KNOW that I CAN interview people!
I've had to do so six times over the last couple of weeks as I've been interviewing experts for my UK Net Marketing Seminar.
Now...because I know that I can do it because I've done it six times...this now means that I have another 'tool' that I can use in the future.
But...if I'm perfectly honest...I would rather have NOT done the interviews!
But...it was a necessary part of the marketing for the seminar...and SOMEONE had to do it!
In a way...I HAD to 'back myself into a corner' to ENSURE that I actually followed through on a new skill...even though I would be uncomfortable doing it.
Sure...I'm far from the best interviewer in the world...but unless I TRIED - I wouldn't have found out if I was CAPABLE of doing so!
And...I bet that YOU could certainly do a LOT of things if you HAD to!
The trouble is...most of the time, because you don't have to...you just find excuses NOT to something that may be a little uncomfortable.
I certainly wouldn't have been able to achieve a LOT of what I have (along with the self-esteem increase that comes with it) unless I had literally FORCED myself to go that little bit further.
And...if you can find a way to do the same...YOU will, too!
