It's Time to Get Vulnerable Today


For those of you who are on FaceBook, tonight I'm doing a live interview with my executive vice president from my social media networking group.  The feeling I have is nervous excitement.  The nervous part has to do with using new technology.  The interview will be live so I really don't know what to expect.  The last time I felt uncomfortable like this was at the end of a presentation when everyone in the room walked out.  The only person left was Emily, a new hire I was training.  It looked like I bombed because no one remained to sign up for a membership.  We were in a brand new market and this was one of our first opportunities to share who we are and why we're here.  The emptiness made me super uncomfortable.  Then, it happened.  They all came back to join our family.  The line was so overwhelming that I called for help.  Oh, what a relief it was to know we were accepted by complete strangers.

This interview wasn't my idea.  Joining this group of independent consultants wasn't my idea either.  It's another one of those God things that appears to be happening with greater frequency and greater intensity.  I really hope friends and family members show up because I do have something important to share.  The one thing I know for sure is the experience will be something I'll never forget.  This is the reason I'm here...to change the world.  This is impossible unless you're willing to be vulnerable.  Your prayers are much appreciated.  Have a great day.
