How do leaders lean into that funding?
You had talked about stepping into a new you,
can you go further into detail about that?
Definitely, so to lean into this funding,
it's giving yourself permission to fail
is one, going back to that aspect of that idea.
If your fear is failing,
and that's why you're not funding your vision,
then I wanna encourage you
to give yourself permission to fail.
And understand that it's not up to you
when it comes to letting someone else down,
because it may seem counterintuitive,
but essentially people were believing enough
or you're believing enough in your vision to fund it.
And therefore, if you don't believe enough in your vision,
how do you expect anyone else to?
And it's kind of getting, shifting out of that mindset
of that doubt and disbelief.
And even like you mentioned that I mentioned before,
it's really becoming the person that you need to be.
And I even take that to a different approach,
because I truly believe that the person
that we've been created to be is already inside of us.
But unfortunately, the life up until now
has really shaped us to see ourselves the wrong way.
We're living, I love Myron Goldin said it,
a lie identity instead of an identity.
And I would love to take credit for that,
but I can't Myron is a genius when it comes to that idea.
But it's that idea and I look at it as a story.
Like I'm not sure you and your audience
may know who Michelangelo is, I would hope so.
He's one of the amazing artists,
painters, sculptors that are out there.
And I always think back to when he made the statue,
the sculpture of David, he literally took a huge hunk of rock
and turned it into this masterpiece
of this strong biblical character.
And I remember there was a story where this guy
was asking him, how in the world did you take nothing,
essentially just a big old hunk of rock
and somehow see the masterpiece of this sculpture in it?
And he said, it's simple, I just chiseled away
the parts that weren't David.
And I feel like that's what we as leaders
should do in our life, whether it's getting a coach
or a mentor like myself that can help you
not only see the blind spots, but see the strengths
and what you're doing to help you fly
and chisel away those stories that have been told
over you, over me even, that we believed all our lives.
And if we can chisel away those stories
and what's left is the person that we are
and the person we've been created to be.
So when we're becoming the person we're created to be,
a lot of it is unbecoming the things
that we've been told we have to be.
