Scenario: I’m afraid to start public speaking because the audience will “call me out” on wrong information that I may get nervous and say.

Solution: “There are many ways to solve this challenge. This presentation is based on my personal experience and what I was able to solve”

Scenario: Being thought of as “the expert” scares me because I don’t have enough experience & I’ll always have to be right.

Solution: Simply be “the guide”
✅Define your tribe

Scenario: I’m not going to get started because I’m not as smart or influential as @garyvee @tailopez & @GrantCardone

Solution: Every success story starts w/ humble beginnings. An overnight success can require 10 years of sweat equity. Be inspired. Never compare. #personalbrand
