As the great Jack Nicklaus said, “There’s a difference between being nervous and scared and nervous and prepared.”
I think about this often.
I still get nervous doing Podcast Interviews even though I’ve done hundreds of them. Even though I bring a curiosity to them. Even though I prepare.
I care about doing a great job. I’m honored people want to show up and talk with me and eager to have a great conversation.
It’s okay to be nervous, that’s going to happen with anything we are excited about.
Are we prepared for this thing or are we winging it?
It’s something to think about anytime we’re gearing up to do anything worthwhile.
