Day 3

HOLY  SMOKES!!! What a day. Yes, I'm working on my startup, ShopAddiKt, as well as consulting startups, however I am also enrolled in two different leadership courses which are all about getting us out of our confort zones to make a difference in how we live our lives. 

Well, two weeks ago, I had a friend encourage me to do a webinar and I thought to myself, nah! Not my thing, I don’t have anything to share, not my style, and whatever other negative self talk I created for myself. Geesh! So, fast forward a week and during one of my leadership course I am essentially challenged to create a webinar and post by the following Thursday. Now, this is less than a week away, yet I accept the challenge and to top it off because of my travel to LA, I end up only having one day to fully prepare. I know funny right, I mean why not?!? 

So yesterday morning, I’m stifled as I have yet to figure out what I’m going to even talk about in less than 24 hours. I called a few of my closest friends and asked them what they felt I was an expert in, and what I had to share with others. I was told that I’m Miss Positive, always had a solution to shifting an experience that they had, and that whether or not they chose to act on it, they usually felt I was right. Also, that I was no bullshit. Knowing this insifght from my friends, I’m thinking, now how can I apply this to a webinar???

During my morning walk to get coffee with my pup, it hits me, why not do the Urgency Experiment with others? By sharing with others what I’m going thru, and sharing the experience with them, we can all hold each other accountable and act in urgency. Ok, I have less than 24 hours to go, have figured out what I’m going to sell, but what am I going to do for free?

It's 11am and I’m back at my computer. I decide to start putting it out there. I design a logo I love, create a page for the Urgency Experiment, start working on lead page for the actual webinar, but now I get to add value. I still have no idea what I’m going to talk about and it’s about 2pm. I put my computer aside, and tell myself it’s time, I am figuring this out NOW! I left my desk and went to my bed to get comfy and just sit in silence with my notepad. Then I just started writing. I wrote one thing down, and didn’t like it as it was geared towards the experiment project and I needed something that could help someone in the next 24 hours, and make a difference in their life as that was the intention anyways.

Then it hit me and just started flowing. I wrote out the game plan and my 5 steps in about 10 minutes. It poured right out of me, and I was finally EXCITED!!! I couldn’t wait to share with everyone…Yayyyy!!!

                LESSON OF THE DAY: Create a space with clear intention and let it FLOW

Now that I had that figured out, I had calls to make and didn’t actually get the invitation to the webinar out until 5p. Then, by the time I finished the title page of my presentation I had a meeting to go to, and didn’t get back until 10p. During this meeting, I found myself wanting to create anxiety and stress as I still had a whole presentation to write, but I knew deep down, I was already over the hump, and things were getting done regardless so I kept going. I hadn’t backed out yet, so nothing was going to stop me.

Around 2am, I finally finished my presentation. Mission 90% complete. I’ll save figuring out the webinar technical details for tomorrow. I have a couple of hours in the morning, no problemm, I got this.

So here we have it, a complete mission acted on in urgency, blindfolded, yet 100% accomplishable. It felt good, and amazing that things were happening because of it. 

Another opportunity presented itself during my own personal Urgency Experiment. AMAZING!!!
