It’s Hard to Strike up Conversations with Prospects When Your Inner Critic Is Saying ...
They’re not going to like me.?
“I am going to feel so stupid approaching them.
“I will look ridiculous.”
The only way out of the conflict is through.
Because we learn from the hard things we get through in life.
Not from the times when everything is achieved without much difficulty.

You Try to Make a Video of Yourself Speaking about Your Business
But your inner voice says, “These ideas aren’t clear enough.”?
So you stop. Then start again.
This time the inner voice says, “No, those words aren’t put together well enough.”?
So you start over again. With each false start, your self-confidence crumbles further.
If this is you, find out on the full post linked in the picture below, how to let go of your fear of not being perfect.
On a Dismal, Rainy Morning, I Received This Upbeat Testimonial from Sarah Clay, a LinkedIn Trainer for Companies and Entrepreneurs, Whom I’d Helped
It made my day ...“The first thing I noticed about Michael is how engaging he is,” she said in a video.
“So easy to talk to.“

"He made me feel completely at ease, immediately."
“Also, his knowledge of presenting and how to do it is obviously vast.
“He seems to know everything about presenting, about communication, about how to get the right message across.”
The day I got this, my garage had been flooded by the rainstorm.
Countless items were wet and had to be moved out to dry, including sentimental old photos, letters and vintage record albums (yes, I still keep them around).
But reading this testimonial lifted my mood. It made the burden of the clean-up a bit easier to bear.
Can you relate?

MICHAEL'S MOTIVATING MISSIVE
Our time is limited, we must choose wisely how we want to spend it. We must have the courage to follow our heart and intuition.
Change is a normal part of life, it is not something to be feared but to be embraced.
Above all, we need to keep in mind that sometimes good things fall apart, so better things can come together.
