What scares you?
Today is ๐Halloween๐, so I thought itโs the perfect time to ask this question.
๐ช๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ผ๐?
And now for the ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ข๐ญ๐ญ๐บ scary question …
๐ช๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ฑ๐ผ๐ปโ๐ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ต๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ถ๐?
Job? Partner? Money?
Or worse โ memories you never made?
I recently confronted one of my biggest, baddest, boogie-oogiest fears โ being on video.
It was time.
For 13 years, this fear held me back from a LOT of opportunities.๐
But, because Iโd held onto it for so long, it was a big part of my personal narrative.
I knew ‘d need help to get over that.
I’d need a system.
So I designed a system to make sure I was successful.๐
โ๏ธ I set a goal (be a guest on The Hotness Unleasher Show on LinkedIn)
Setting ๐this goal๐ also doubled as my reward
โ๏ธ I had 3 simple rules (messy over perfect; preserve the record; the challenge ends when hesitation does)
โ๏ธ I established a routine (one live video every day)
The ๐routine๐ IS the system. It’s habit forming, mindset conditioning, and belief reset all in one. It’s where progress happens, so it also doubled as my accountability structure.
Prepping the environment was my cue to get mentally prepared to face my fear.๐ฌ
- Inside โ tripod, ring light, mitigate distractions
- Outside โ phone, leash, Newman, treats
Evan anticipating any one of those happening – the fear would bubble up.๐ฌ
Until it didn’t.๐๐
โ Cue โ Prep the environment.
โ Craving โ โLetโs get this over withโ as I went live turned into โWhat shall I talk about?โ planning.
โ Response โ Going live.
โ Reward โ Obstacle/Fear overcome.
“Behind every system of actions are a system of belief.” โ James Clear
‘I don’t’ literally became ‘I do’.
13 years of ‘I can’t’ is now ‘I can’.
And you can, too.
