I did it. I made a video. Not a big deal I know but a new achievment for me. After having it in the back of mind for the past day or so, number one on today’s to do list was get a video on youtube.

I have never used ms powerpoint or camtasia before and never uploaded a video to youtube.

I’m really starting to see the power of ‘fail forward fast’. In the past I would have spent a long time over this, trying to get every detail right. I probably would have spent a day playing around with powerpoint and another with camtasia before I even started on the video.

But now, using the planning process and mindset that Alex is installing in all of us, I just got on with it.

It’s a shame but true, that the biggest constraint holding us back from success is ourselves. Stepping outside your comfort zone is never easy but it’s also never as hard as you think. This whole journey we are on is a massive learning curve and is great to see everyone improving on a daily basis.

So whatever it is you have been meaning to do or to try, just go for it. You will be pleased you did.

Anyway, on to my masterpiece. LOL!

It’s short, it’s basic and it’s not going to have Steven Spielberg knocking on my door but more importantly it’s a step forward.

The next one will be better as will the one after that.

So what’s next outside the comfort zone for you?

Here is the video. No need to grab the popcorn. It’s less than a minute long :)

p.s. a big thanks to Nigel for his help! He has a new video also so check out his blog.
