I made a mistake….and I’m going to run with it anyway!

Can you imagine having the confidence to say that?

To be standing on a stage, talking to people, and then realizing that you messed up?

But here’s the thing: most of the time, no one realizes when we make mistakes!

How often do you stop yourself from taking chances and opportunities? How often do you decide not to hit the record button to make a video, or pass on a potential speaking opportunity, all because you’re afraid of making a mistake?

Why can’t you?

This week’s episode of the Selling the Dream podcast is going to be just a little bit different, as I’ve invited motivational speaker David Bryson to speak about his podcast and speaking career.

I met him when we were at the same conference, and connected over his powerful message: why can’t you? You won’t want to miss this week’s episode of the Selling the Dream podcast!
