In this episode, I talk about the mix of nervousness and excitement that comes with growth, especially in business. As I prepare for a big speaking event, I reflect on how these feelings are a sign of change and progress. I encourage my listeners to embrace them rather than avoid them. Through my Accountability Accelerator, I help people push past fear by setting goals and having someone hold them accountable, which can be both scary and motivating.
I also share three steps to turn nervous excitement into action: reflect on past experiences, set a “5:55 alarm” as a reminder to take action, and find accountability to stay on track. I remind listeners that if they’re feeling nervous and excited, they’re exactly where they need to be. Growth happens outside our comfort zones, and I’m here to support them in that journey.
