457. Be Brave Enough to Suck at Something New

Are you hesitant to try something new because you're worried about not doing it well? Do you find yourself avoiding new opportunities because you're scared of sucking at them? In today's episode, we're going to remind you that it's okay to suck at something new. In fact, most of the time, it's inevitable! As product-based business owners, we've all been there - our first product launch, email, or video may have sucked. But we kept practicing, and eventually, we got better. So, if you're feeling stuck, afraid, or just need a little nudge to start something new, this episode is for you.It's easy to get caught up in what other people will think if we fail or make a mistake. But here's the truth: your self-worth is not tied to your success or failure. We're here to remind you that you are brave and capable, even if you suck at something new in the beginning. It takes courage to try new things and be willing to look foolish. So, let's embrace our imperfections and remember that failure is not the end, but rather an opportunity to learn, grow, and try again.Brought to you by the Shop 1 in 5™ Pledge!
