Have you ever had a task that you knew you should do but for some reason fear was a road block?

For me the task was Video Testimonials. Now this may not sound like a big deal – especially to those who have crossed the hurdle but for me it was a real stresser.

I knew I needed to do it. A Video Testimonial is ten times more powerful that a written one. Yet fear kept me frozen. In my case it was the fear of imposing.

This past week I decided to bite the bullet. With a business partner I knew well I decided that we were going to go through this together. At first we were both unsure and promised each other that nothing would be posted with out the approval of the other. Then I turned my camera on. My little Cannon Powershot. We each took turns stating our name, our business and how the other person’s business impacted our own.

Wow! It was so easy. It took 20 seconds each and when we were done we each had a great testimonial for or site. Success! A hurdle crossed. It was so empowering to succeed.

So my advice – Go for it – Push beyond your comfort zone – and if necessary – Take a friend along for the ride … who know – you might both win
