Early in my professional speaking career, I was hired to keynote a group of about 300 small business owners at a networking conference.
At the time, this was the largest group I had spoken to and, as you might imagine, my stomach got tight just thinking about it.
“Will I be good enough?” and “I hope I survive” were the first two thoughts I had.
Until I realized I was about to sabotage the very success I wanted to achieve!
