Often, the primary barriers to action are the excuses we create [00:00:01]. These excuses, such as not having enough time, are consistently described as 100% excuses [00:00:01].
The Nature of Excuses
When someone thinks, “I feel really uncomfortable talking to a camera,” this is a common sentiment, even experienced by the speaker who still often feels uncomfortable [00:00:08]. The speaker admits to getting hung up all the time [00:00:16].
Reasons for excuses often stem from fear or simply not knowing where to start [00:01:04].
Just Start
The key to overcoming these hesitations is simply to “just start” [00:00:21]. It’s emphasized that every objection in one’s head, like “I’m not going to do this” or “I don’t have the time,” is 100% an excuse [00:00:55].
Embrace Discomfort and Improvement
Initially, your efforts might be “terrible” – for example, looking at old videos reveals they were not good [00:00:23]. However, through continuous practice, you begin to get better [00:00:25]. This process also allows you to develop a feel for how to deliver content, such as to a camera, and discover your own comfortable methods [00:00:29].
The speaker has found their method for feeling comfortable and achieving good results by doing it enough times [00:00:38]. While one person’s process might not work for another, you will find your own [00:00:45]. The only way to discover this process is by “getting out and doing it” [00:00:51].
Overcoming excuses will inevitably make you uncomfortable, but this discomfort is simply a part of life [00:01:09].
