Overcoming Fear and Doubt in Pursuit of Your Dreams: Professional Speaking Success | Grant Baldwin

In this episode of the podcast, we discussed the importance of hard work and dedication when it comes to achieving success. We heard Grant Baldwin's inspiring story of how he landed his first gig and how much legwork he put in to make it happen. "If you don't enjoy at least 80% of what you're doing, you should find something else. And I remember just thinking like, really we can, we can do that. And I remember leaving that session and calling my wife, and we've been having some of these conversations, but I remember leaving that session, calling her and saying like, I think we're done again. I don't know what's next. But I remember leaving that session and calling her thinking like, okay, we're gonna rip the Band-aid and figure it out from there." We explored how everyone starts from zero when trying to get that first client and how it can be challenging to stay motivated, but the first check can give you the confidence and drive to keep going.
