I wish someone told me this...
Last Saturday, someone asked me...
"Vic, what if anything, do you know NOW...
that you wish you knew when you were first starting out"
I thought for a good 5-6 seconds...
Nothing "tactical" came to me.
I realized that those things are never the real game changers.
However, I did share this...
I said, I wish I knew that it was perfectly normal... and OKAY
to NOT be very good when just starting out!
I shared a story about how 6 years before publishing my first youtube video...
I had an incident...
I was trying to film a YouTube video (for the 20th time!)
and I just couldn't do it.
Even though before turning on the camera I felt inspired and aligned...
The MOMENT I pressed that scary "record" button...
I would clench up.
My mind would go blank.
Where did all that inspiration energy go?
Wherever it went... it was GONE
Well, one time, after many failed attempts...
out of frustration, I broke my camera.
I grabbed it right off the counter and chucked it at the marble floor shattering it to pieces.
As you can imagine, I felt like a total loser.
That day I chose to give up on my dream.
But if I knew what I know NOW
Which is...
It's perfectly normal to feel VERY uncomfortable on camera at first.
And the worst enemy of success is...
being too hard on yourself.
Funny, the same guy who asked me that question said he was confused because with music... he was a natural.
But not with the camera!
I said, yes, sometimes it goes that way...
But when it comes to filming yourself and then presenting it to the world
I have never met a single natural! I have met many popular influencers that have become amazing speakers.
ALL of them joke about how bad they were at first.
I wish I knew THAT!
I wish someone told me to have more patience with myself.
I wasted 6 years.
Maybe you don't have to?
