Great news – last month, I secured a brand collaboration for the first time ever! I am sharing this accomplishment with you not to show off, but to encourage you to tell yourself “yes” before the rest of the world does.
What I mean by this is that, for a long time, I believed I had to have 100k followers on my social media accounts, post tons of content, and receive a lot of likes and engagements, even though I didn’t. What I needed instead was courage, faith, audacity, and an IDGAF attitude.
When I say IDGAF, I mean in terms of overcoming my fear of receiving a “no” and challenging doubt in my mind. Negative thoughts that sounded like, “Oh, maybe I shouldn’t try because I don’t have XY&Z” or “I don’t know my niche, my content is alright in comparison to other people”.
So, to put this new realization into action, it looked like not living behind my own or anyone else’s limitations or standards, and just taking a leap of faith. What I did was I reached out to brands simply. I received a couple of no’s, but I also received a few ‘yes’s.
So, moral of the story, don’t wait until you’re ready, don’t wait until you’re perfect, don’t wait until tomorrow. You really just need a faith the size of a mustard seed. The brain doesn’t know what ready looks like; it understands just being who you choose to be at the moment, despite what the odds look like.
