Observation

Walking into rooms feeling "less than" changes when you believe in what you bring to the table.

Throughout my journey there have been so many moments where I have felt way over my head. Maybe the other people in the room had more money or more experience or more education, there were so many times that I walked into the room feeling less than.

Throughout my journey there have been so many moments where I have felt way over my head. Maybe the other people in the room had more money or more experience or more education, there were so many times that I walked into the room feeling less than.

Along the way, I started to believe in myself and believe in what I bring to the table. Tonight I had the opportunity to join a meeting to review an investor opportunity. In the room were several very successful people and the old me would have been beyond intimidated, but today was different. The person who invited me believes in me and better yet, I believe in me! I walked in confident and I know I brought value to the meeting.

If I could go back in time, I would tell the younger me to believe in himself and don’t be afraid of the other people in the room and their “credentials.”

Always remember the smart ones will respect your vision and the others... haha. They probably won’t matter in five years!

If you read this far, believe in you! It’s way better than believing in anything else.
