- I made a mistake.
I made a mistake.
Community isn't about writing.
I’m on holiday.
My parents are driving.
And I’m about to meet all my cousins.
But then I feel it:
My hands sweat & my heart is beating quickly.
I can’t handle it.
“What da hail is happening?”
All these random memories start overwhelming me.
Then I realized.
They aren’t so random.
They all have a common point:
All these memories want to remind me of my weakness.
Communication.
This is my weakest ability.
Whether it’s on calls, or with family.
I’m fuking shy.
And I can’t handle it.
The hic?
That’s not how I leader should be.
So I reflected.
Reflected.
Again and again.
“I need to fight it” - was my conclusion.
And this time I don’t want to hide it.
That’s why I told you about it.
That’s why I’m gonna fight it.
So from now - expect:
More calls.
More networking.
More spaces.
I focused so much on writing that I forgot about the most important skill:
Speaking.
It’s the oral side of writing.
Imagine a copywriter who can’t speak.
No way.
So don’t do it too.
Learn from me.
Your man,
Adam.
