I made a committment, and I'm 9 days in

I was inspired by Aaron's story from a while back about his pull to start creating a daily video when he got started, and how that was one thing that launched him into his first success as a creator.

I finally got the pull I've been waiting for to do mine.

I started last Monday—committed to getting to bed at 10 every night, so I can get up at 5, bike into a local nature preserve, set up my tripod and mic, shoot a video (2, actually because I'm shooting a different one every day to share on LinkedIn, under my real name), and be back home before my wife and kids are even up.

This morning was Episode 9, and I just opened up with zero idea of what I was going to say before pressing record (every other day, I've planned the video in my mind while biking over).

I've always wanted to host my own show, so created one and nominated myself as the host.

My show is called, "Act As If," and it's about the power of acting as if you already are the person you want to be—because it's up to each of us to step into it, noone else can do it for us, and it's not dependant on anything outside of ourselves.

If I'm being honest, I've been feeling pretty insecure about my videos—it feels like a very vulnerable act—especially since not many people are watching yet, but have kept going every day trusting that I am following a pull that is going to help me on the journey to where I want to go.

Aaron's approach from his paid programs have helped me learn to be more comfortable on camera, and I just looked back at Episode 6 (from Sunday), and realized it's not actually as awkward as I once was on camera.

Would love to know what you think, and please follow along if you're inspired to see how my journey unfolds.
