Be Successful, and do Scary Things!

Support
October 23, 2015

Darin Adams from Infusionsoft joined us at SMARTcon about one month ago. He was one of several amazing key note speakers that made the event one of the most remarkable sales, marketing and technology conferences of the year. Out of all of the inspiring things that Darin said, one of great influence to everyone is this: Sometimes you have to do scary things.

Anyone in sales, marketing or technology can relate to the principle of doing frightening things. You do it every single day! Particularly in regards to entering sales, it can be scary. Facing fears is something we do, and in business – we do it a lot. Successful individuals are the ones who can embrace these moments as opportunities. Successful people take action and make things happen. They move forward regardless of fears and inhibition.

The world is absolutely filled with great examples of individuals who moved forward despite fear, rejection and failure. J.K. Rowling, now one of the most successful writers of all time, was rejected repeatedly during a dark time in her life. Living mainly on only benefits, with a broken marriage and one daughter, fear was a daily part of her life. Yet, despite that, she moved forward and submitted her first book and was rejected repeatedly. She kept trying until finally the book was published and became the first of seven books that would reshape the young adult genre. Walt Disney faced similar issues. He was told that he was not going to be successful due to his lack of imagination. That didn’t stop him from finally releasing his first Disney film and the opening of two theme parks that have now been subtitled: The Happiest Place on Earth. Winston Churchhill and Thomas Edison also faced struggles in their lives. The point is that we all face fears and obstacles in our lives, but do you let it becoming a stopping point or do you realize your potential by overcoming them? These individuals and many more have done that and became people of influence!

The wonderful things learned at SMARTcon contributed to individuals ability to move forward in the face of fear – and therefore, SMARTcon contributed to individuals ability to succeed. Knowledge is power, and the knowledge gained from Darin Adams, as well as many other individuals that attended adds to our ability to grow, progress and win often.

Becoming empowered to do scary things requires action. If you were able to go to SMARTcon, pull out those action items and think of how they will help get you through fears and barriers.
