La La Land Mommy: Stepping Outside My Comfort Zone
Nablopomo Daily Prompt: What is the one skill you see in other bloggers that you wish you had?
Since I started my blogging journey I feel that it has caused me to change in so many ways. I have experienced things that I never thought that I would. I have even stepped outside of what is comfortable for me a number of times. For example a few months ago I went to a listening party for an artist a few months ago. When I got there I discovered that I didn’t know anyone. For a little while I freaked out. I prayed that someone I knew would arrive but unfortunately that didn’t happen. This left me no choice but to mingle with a new group of people. I wound up having a great time.
That being said I still have some things that I need to work on. One thing is approaching companies. I wish I had the ability of many bloggers to just approach a company without fear. I am working myself up to this. I get more motivation as I read statuses of many bloggers saying that they pitched themselves to a company and that the companies accepted their proposals. Every time I read these statuses I’m like boy I would like to be them. These bloggers see something that they want and they go after it. I wish I had the confidence to put myself out there that way. But the one thing that was stopping me was my fear of rejection.
I have come to realize that the only way to become those bloggers that I admire is to take the first step and actually write my first pitch. I’m going to put aside my fear and jump in head first. Cause the only way to become successful and to conquer my fear is to put myself out there. I am ready to make a path for myself and stop waiting for it to come to me. I can’t wait to see what lies ahead for me.
