I can teach… but I can’t go LIVE. 🤣

I've always been comfortable leading a classroom, teaching groups of eager learners, but live broadcasting has felt like a daunting mountain to climb. I relate deeply to the feeling of fumbling or freezing when asked to go live, even if it’s just for a few minutes. Fear can be surprisingly paralyzing, yet what I've learned from witnessing others — like business partners sharing their stories during webinars — is that fear doesn't disappear before the first step; it lingers, but courage grows as you continue to show up. Watching these individuals bravely talk about why they started their journey, how their lives have transformed, and why they persist despite nerves has been incredibly motivating. It reminded me that confidence rarely precedes action. Instead, it’s forged gradually through small acts of bravery — like turning on the camera, speaking up despite butterflies, and embracing imperfection. One practical method I’ve found helpful is preparation combined with mindset shifts. Before any live session, I jot down key points to stay focused and remind myself that the goal isn’t perfection but connection. Each time I take this small step outside my comfort zone, I feel confidence build just a little bit more. It’s also comforting to think about faith and grace as sources of strength in the process. If you’re also held back by fear in something you want to pursue—whether it’s public speaking, starting a video blog, or any new endeavor—remember you’re not alone. Like me and the business partners I admire, you can embrace fear as a signal of growth. Taking that first live moment might be awkward, but it’s the beginning of building courage that will carry you forward. What’s one fear you’re ready to face today?
