Ok, well, here it goes! I’m both excited and scared about what I’m doing. I’m excited because I know that I will be helping people and I’m scared because I’ve never done this before. Yes I’ve shared my story but not with everyone and not on the internet. I’m going to put this out there with all my mistakes and maybe miss spelled words, but it’s coming from my heart, so please bare with me.
I’m going to bring you back a little over 4 years. I had a company that was doing pretty well. I was in the construction field for over 25 years and had a crew of 9 men. My dream was to begin a career in speaking, but I could never speak in public. I had a problem, I was too scared to get in the front of the room and if you want to speak, it hard to get people to listen when your behind them. Funny how that works, huh? Well I had a few things I needed to take care of, before I could get my new career going. Who was going to take care of my business? And the last time I tried to speak, I froze so badly that they had to throw a rope around me and drag me off stage!
But I was not to be denied! When you have a dream you have to take action!! The first order of business was to bring in that trusty person that I could hand over the business to and know it would be in safe hands. Yes, I know, I know, but I did it anyway. I brought in someone that was very close to me, I trusted them with my life, “but this was my business”, oh well, I should have known better. I gave them 50% of the business, thinking that because this is half theirs, they would take care of it. Now this is isn’t their entire fault, after all I didn’t feel the need to look over their shoulder, so I do take responsibility for not being more involved. I’m not going to get into the details of everything that happened (this is not a book…). Hey thanks for the idea, a book I like it!
Before I get into what happened with the business, I need to cover what happen with the public speaking, you will enjoy how I broke my fear! I will share that tomorrow. This blog will be a 2 part blog and what I mean by that is I will be telling about the business side and then about the everyday life side. It will be a running story, my intent is to write everyday and share my story of how one man has been through the gates of hell only to return a better man for it. I hope this will help out many of the people that are struggling right now. Remember to keep the smile on your face no matter what and if you don’t, don’t worry, just remind yourself to remember to smile and make it a habit.
Smile and Wave, Eddy
