I waited 30 years to do this

Sep 17, 2025

Would you believe that in 30 years as a business owner, I’d never hosted a vendor table?

Not once.

I had all the usual excuses. I don’t have a banner. I’m not “set up” for that kind of thing. It’s just not me.

But the truth?
It wasn’t logistics.
It was fear.

Fear of not looking polished enough. Fear of not knowing what to say.
Fear of being seen in a space I hadn’t practiced standing in.

When I launched this coaching business, I finally got honest with myself.
If I want visibility, I have to choose it.

So I ordered the banner. I built the table setup. I told myself, “It doesn’t have to be perfect. It just has to be mine.”

And today, I showed up at the Heartlink Women’s Luncheon in Temecula and hosted my first vendor table.
It wasn’t fancy.
But it was real.

And here’s what I know.
Confidence doesn’t come first.
It comes in the doing.

If you’ve been telling yourself you’re not ready. To start the channel. To show up online. To speak out loud. I get it.

But that story might not be truth.
It might be fear in a nice outfit.

Try this:
Think of one thing you’ve been telling yourself you’re “not ready” to do.
Posting a video. Going to a networking event. Pressing publish.
Now ask: What’s one small action I can take anyway?
Confidence builds with motion, not permission.

And if you’re ready to stop waiting and start showing up like the expert you are, the YouTube Bootcamp gives you the strategy and confidence to make it real.

No more waiting on perfect.
Just support, structure, and doing the thing.

The Content That Kept Working (Even While I Slept)
Hey {{contact.first_name | default: "there"}}, Can I tell you about the moment everything shifted for me? A year ago, I created a simple video answering a question I'd heard a hundred times: "How do I keep my college student safe in their dorm room?" Nothing fancy. Just me, my phone, and the expertise I'd built over 30 years in the security business. Fast forward a year: that video was STILL e...
She trusted me before we ever spoke
Have you ever had someone book a call and say, “I feel like I already know you”? That happened to me recently. She hadn’t filled out a contact form. We hadn’t exchanged a single email. But she showed up to our first call already trusting me. Why? Because she had found one of my YouTube videos in a moment of doubt. And it made her feel seen. This is the quiet power of video. If you’re a service-...
What if your legacy isn’t what you leave behind?
They don’t always wait for us to hand it off. I once ran for city council against a Baby Boomer who’d held the seat for 17 years.I lost.A Millennial won. No drama, no regrets. He’s doing an incredible job. But it was a wake-up call.Because Gen X got skipped. Not just in politics, but in business, leadership, and opportunity.We’re not burned out from doing too much; we’re weary from systems that...
