214: Everything You Want Is on the Other Side of Fear

<p> </p> <p>This past weekend, I spoke in front of 10,000 people at Grant Cardone’s 10X Growth Conference. And while it was one of the most amazing speaking experiences of my life, it came with a ton of doubt, lack of clarity and more nerves than I’d ever experienced.</p> <p> </p> <p>During the weeks leading up to this event and planning my talk, I struggled to find clarity. I panicked. With several big things happening this past month, I was stuck in my own head and nothing else could come through.</p> <p> </p> <p><em>“Being busy can be the biggest curse when you’re trying to be creative.” </em></p> <p> </p> <p>At this point, doubt crept in and I began to wonder how the hell I even received this opportunity. I <em>knew</em> I was meant to be there and share a message, but I questioned if they had the right Lori Harder. So, I did what I knew I needed to do.</p> <p> </p> <p>I reached out to my Earth angels and asked for their support and confirmation that yes, I could do this, and yes, I was meant to do this. It helped so much. My talk fell into place and it was off to Las Vegas for the conference.</p> <p> </p> <p>However, the day before the event I felt waves of sheer terror. Dizzy at times and feeling like I was going to pass out, I told my husband, “I’m going down.” He quickly helped me reframe with questions such as, “What are you excited about? What are you grateful for?” It helped a little, but I still felt shaken. That is until I stepped onto the stage and saw all of the people. I was instantly grounded and realized that,</p> <p> </p> <p><em>“No vision is given to us if it’s not for us. We must have faith in that.”</em></p> <p> </p> <p>When I pictured all of my tribe who supported me, my faith kicked in and I felt calm. I felt a part of me I’d never felt. It was one of the most incredible talks.</p> <p> </p> <p>So, the moral of the story? Have faith. Take risks – even when it scares the crap out of you.</p> <p> </p> <p><em>“Stop thinking that a mediocre life is going to make you happy.”</em></p> <p> </p> <p
