Apprehension is a direct effect of launching new ideas. I wondered if I was making the right move at the right time when I recently announced my {Walk The Shot} workshops. Would this prove to be a savvy business decision or a miserable failure? It is a very fine line and one that I admittedly wasn’t 100% sure about. But, what I was sure of was that if people wanted to learn from me, I was more than willing to share my personal experiences and knowledge in reference to my work. The response has been astounding. A few of the e-mails actual had my heart skipping a few beats. I have worked so hard for so long and then all of the sudden people started to notice me. The attention quickly made me hold myself even more accountable in everything that I do. I became motivated more than ever to earn the respect of my peers and colleagues. Although I was getting a ton of “how do you?” e-mails I wondered how that question might translate into people actually wanting to {Walk The Shot} with me. I am excited to report that the decision and the timing is proving to be a promising venture. Yahoo!!! [Insert an emoticon of me doing a happy dance here.]
I have been dying to announce my {Walk The Shot} Sponsors! During the time that I was researching my Sponsors I was nervous as to what the overall support (or lack there of) might amount too. These people had to believe in me and feel as if they were willing to attach their name and company brand to me. And I confess…I wondered if I was worthy? What if they all said “um no thanks.” What would I do? Because in all fairness, what fun is it to attend a workshop and not leave with a totally rad goodie bag? I think not! I had to pull in Sponsors that people would love! And the other catch was…I needed to have an established working relationship with each of these Sponsors. I wanted to be able to sing their praises and promote them because I am already familiar with them and I love what each of them has to offer. It was no easy task but I knew what needed to be done. Deep breath. And GUESS WHAT? It was yes across the board. Whew! Remember what I told y’all…if you don’t ask…the answer is always no. I could not be more proud to share with you the incredible sponsors for my {Walk The Shot} workshops! This goodie bag ROCKS!!! The value of the contents is equal to well over half of the {Walk The Shot} fee itself. Double your pleasure!!! To each of my incredible Sponsors…THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
awesomness! What a great group of sponsers!
Sounds like you had some wonderful sponsers!
