0:00.0 | If you are looking to feel more confident before you make a move, stop. If you're waiting |
0:06.4 | for clarity or support or people to get behind you, stop. Because courage doesn't wait for those |
0:13.0 | things. It moves without them. Courage comes first. Confidence comes later. It always has and |
0:20.3 | it always will. What up guys welcome back to |
0:25.3 | build and today i want to talk to you about courage so this is top of mind for me and by the way |
0:30.7 | i just want to say if you hear me i am on the tribunal because i don't have as much time today but |
0:36.3 | this came up and it was top of mind and i was like i'm going to hit it in the podcast form. So if you hear the steps, that's because I'm trying to be healthy and get my steps in. That being said, I had this on my mind, which was the concept of courage. And actually, it came from yesterday when I was doing a podcast with my partner Sharon. And we were talking about making content. And we wanted to |
0:55.4 | talk about making content for people who operate companies because I think it's just so different |
0:58.9 | for somebody who has a flag, I joke, like a full-time job versus is a content creator. Like, |
1:04.9 | I have never considered myself a content creator. I've considered myself a CEO who just happens to |
1:09.4 | make content. I think there's a really |
1:10.9 | big difference. And as we were talking about it, he said one of the things, the reasons why he, though it's hard and taxing and can be tiring. And sometimes he's like, I don't want to do this. I don't want to make the content. He's like, I always get a ton of courage from it. And it actually really drew me in because I started |
1:28.3 | thinking about it. And I said, wow, that's the reason why I do so many things. There are so many |
1:32.9 | things in life that I don't want to do that I feel uncomfortable doing, but I do them anyway. Now, |
1:38.4 | why is that? Because I love flexing my courage muscle. And so it got me thinking about this concept around courage. And it's |
1:47.9 | something that I studied a lot. I want to say like three or four years ago, but it's been really, |
1:51.9 | really relevant for my life recently because I realized that that's actually the word that probably |
1:56.9 | would represent the last six months of my life is just learning how to flex courage |
2:01.5 | in situations that I've never been in before. And I think that there's this misconception, |
2:07.5 | which is that courage is like a personality trait or it's like the output of like doing something. |
2:12.8 | And so I kind of want to demystify that for all of you because I think if you're out there |
2:16.8 | trying to do hard things, if you're building a business, if you're trying to build yourself you because I think if you're out there trying to do hard |
