How do we get the courage to try something new? I filmed this video just before trying Facebook live for the first time on my iPhone with the purpose of helping more of us discover Steem during the live streams. What I hope is helpful is seeing how I intend to do whatever it is even though the evidence may not provide proof that it will work.
When we go live online, how do we think beforehand? I told you I'm about to go live on Facebook, but I don't even have the Facebook app on my phone. I've never went live on Facebook on my phone before. I just expect I intend to. You see, my mindset, I intend to go live on Facebook on my phone.
Now, I realize it might not sign in correctly, that my phone might not work properly. I realize there's a bunch of things that could happen.
What I start with is a mindset of what I intend to do and I just expect that I will be able to do it, that if something goes wrong I will figure it out. This helps me to deal with the opposition, which is fear because there's certainly the fear there that I will put the Facebook app on my phone and they will blow me up with notifications, that I will do it and it won't work, that I won't look good or I won't sound good.
About everything you could imagine, not everything, like I haven't appeared naked in the middle of the internet or anything. I have experienced a lot of things going wrong in my time live streaming and it's okay. That is okay.
What makes all the difference in the world is having a mindset of I'm going to do this, I'm going to try this and let's see what happens. I don't think about all the things that might go wrong or could go wrong, or what people will think of me. I don't care what someone looking on there, seeing me live streaming on their phone thinks, good or bad: "Oh, Jerry's the best. Oh, Jerry's the worst." So what?
I'm here to do good. I'm here to make a difference.
What am I live streaming about? I'm just doing a really quick update. I'm going to start doing live streams every morning on Wednesdays at 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Eastern, which is Florida, New York time.
Now, what I'm doing is just going to put that out really quick. I used to think these kind of updates were pointless and what I'm learning is a little update is a big difference between none. I hope what I've communicated here is that I am starting in the same position you might be, where you have never done something before and it might look scary.
The mindset makes all the difference. I just look at it and say, "I'm going to do this. I will do this," and in my mind, I've already done it. I've already told everyone. I’ve already thought about what I was going to say on the video even though I don't have clear proof that I can do that in front of me, I just have faith.
I'm sure I can
