Breaking through a fear - public speaking

I remember someone telling me fear of death is second to fear of public speaking.

Or a fluffier version is the queasiness of public speaking is similar to falling in love.

Well, I've done a lot of studying and practicing to improve my public speaking and overcome stage fright.

When I was in school, if I had a choice, I'd take the F happily then go up in front of my class to do a presentation.

Let me just say "I've traveled a loooooooooooong way baby."

I was at CEO Space where I met lots of amazing people with brilliant business ideas.

My friend Brian's idea stood out the most for me because while everyone was all about business, making money...his was about having fun and doing open karaoke night. 

Let me just say I had a lot of moments contemplating of just walking away from it.

Too busy... have to go to those business thingy's...etc...

I knew what I was doing. Stage fright. Avoiding. the big E. excuses.

What I've learned with fear is it doesn't go away.

To build up the courage some way somehow. To master my fear and JUST DO IT!!!

Tip: when you know you're a bit low on courage, ask for help and support.

that will build up your courage, cheer you on.
The hardest part is always that 1st moment when you do it.

Afterwards, it feels so awesome because you overcame your worse enemy. 

Your own doubts and fears.

So I did it.

No professional training.

Don't sing much.

Just enjoy how it feels.

Asked the people in the room (whom I didn't know) for love and support.

My main intention for doing it was to see if I could do it.

Sort of a dare to myself.

And a video to see how I performed under fear.

I was nervous.

It was short.

Wasn't perfect.

Doesn't matter.

Bottom line is I succeeded and did it. 

Woohoo. Celebration.

Here's my video.
