I've gotten "The Look" a lot.
6 years ago - I got it for the first time.
Today - I get it less, but it's still there.
"The Look" I'm talking about -
The confused, possibly judgmental, face someone gives when you tell them about your idea, interest, endeavor, or business.
Starting a podcast
Opening a business
Posting online
It's a look of "you're crazy" and it's the #1 thing that holds us back from pursuing our idea.
If you've experienced this -
3 reminders that helped me overcome the "The Look" and kept me moving forward on my ideas (so that you can too)
—
1) You're not crazy
Believe in your idea - because if you don't, no one else will.
Who knows - your unique perspective and life experience may be exactly what the world needs.
(and you may be doing the world and you a disservice by not sharing it)
But I understand it can be scary to share…

2) Some people will never get it, and that's ok.
Doesn't mean you need to cut people out of your life who don’t get it, yet it's not our mission to convince them of our idea.
Remember - "The Look" may even come from a place of confusion, instead of judgement.
The right people will cheer you on along the way!
But sharing your idea may give you the opportunity to meet "your people"…
—
3) Your people are out there
They're on podcasts you can listen to, online communities, and events in your city.
The people who truly get it and want to know more.
But you'll never know until you put your idea out there.

The Key:
Even if you get the dreaded "Look," keep showing up!
