We all have it and it can be a real bitch.

But is it warranted enough to get in the way of where we want to go? Do you think that someone else’s opinion of what we are doing is justification for us to stop doing it? Do you think that your own confidence now is justification enough for you to not be able to do some stuff at a later date?

I do believe that a lot of people forget, when they are starting to worry about something, that we are all on a journey, and the sooner you get to all of the stops along the way the quicker you get to the outcome. But sometimes the outcome appears a little scary (just throw public speaking in the mix to 99.9% of people).

Just remember the journey

To become a top leader, in the Network Marketing Industry, is going to take self-exposure to a lot of people, ultimately leading to speaking in front of an audience. But, you’re not going to be public speaking in your first week guys (possibly even first year, unless you want to)

Just relax!

(Truth be known, I kept taking little dips into the world of networking over the last year or two and kept diving out due to fear of the public (esp at meetings) and I still have that fear, it is just much more watered down now, and I am going to tell you why)

Public speaking is a requirement, possibly, when you reach the top but the journey is going to ease you in slowly. Let’s look at a possible route –

1. Join a Network Marketing Company
2. Check out some great Facebook training online and start networking by messaging
3. Create some videos for YouTube (fear of the camera starts here)
4. Get on the phone to some prospects (phone fear is a biggie, but it doesn’t need to be)
5. Get on Skype to some prospects (both camera and phone together! OMG!)
6. Conference calls on skype (more people in the conversation)
7. Present some webinars (essentially a conference call just possibly a bigger audience and you are the sole focus)

You’ll then probably get invited to share some insights at a meeting of some nature on how you’re succeeding online, but by then you will have incrementally quashed fears over time and it will be the last rung on the ladder.

Going from ‘never having networked at all’ to ‘speaking to a crowd of 1000 ppl about some technical topic that loads of people have varying opinions on’ is gonna give anyone the FEAR, but that is not how it is going to occur.

We are all on a journey and we are all here to help each other with it (piggyback style at times too)

Don’t let anything get in your way, you are a Trojan! As Mum used to always say-

Poco a poco se advanca mucho

(little by little you move forward a lot)

If you’re stuck with anything, there are loads of people that would love to help you out, just ask for advice (that’s what I do)
