Oh the listening, yes the listening. Listening was a big thing I was missing for many years because I was too busy talking to hear others. Man it&#039;s made a huge difference in my life. 

I should put that on a mug ;)]]></description>

That would be a really great tagline :)

Sometimes video is still a challenge. I can easily sit there and make excuses why I don&#039;t want to. My self-doubt kicks in and the inner critic makes stupid comments in my head. But, I know if I listen to it then I may as well just quit and I don&#039;t wanna quit lol]]></description>

You are awesome for saying all that. Thank you for the encouragement to keep on! My business(s) get more successful as I gain confidence and of course as you said, by being more visible. Which the confidence makes me ok being more visible :) Oh yeah, Team Bold is totally on board to win!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&quot;You must do something different to get to something more.&quot; You need to put that on a coffee mug! So true. It feels risky sometimes to talk about our experiences, for fear that others don&#039;t see life the way we do. But when you find that there are others out there who do, or find that even if we don&#039;t quite see the world the same we can reach some common listening and understanding, it really is magical. I have really enjoyed your podcast. I am glad that you keep on stretching!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I feel very inspired by your post.  This is well done.  Congratulations!
I loved the title --&quot;Stop Playing Small&quot;.  I would add an additional tagline. 
Ex. &quot;Stop Playing Small.. Launch Out of Your Comfort Zone&quot;
I love this line... &quot;Widdles thumbs. Taps toes. Still waiting.&quot;
I am glad that video no longer makes you cringe. It is still a challenge for me. 
I am so excited about your speaking engagement. 
Best wishes with your three challenges.  I am sure you will do well again and shine!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hell yeah, you are a crusher, a finisher a prolific team leader. I&#039;m not sure how successful your business was before you took the challenges ... but something is working right now. On August 5th, I signed up for your Facebook for braggable engagement guide (before I was aware of the challenge). And today I received an email, from someone else, that listed an offer from you and other contributors ($5 offerings). 
I&#039;m encouraged by your visibility to keep stretching myself. 
Here&#039;s to you living your vision.
By the way, I looked into my crystal ball and it said Team Bold is going to win. Shhh ... don&#039;t tell anyone]]></description>

YES, partnering up has challenges of course with different personalities and even as good friends we still have different ways of seeing things. But it&#039;s so awesome to not have to be every part :)]]></description>

It&#039;s all about being Team Finisher on October 1st. So if you do something and push yourself to do an amazing job with it then you win :) Your business wins :)

Yes, keeping a group engaged is tough until it hits a certain point.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It is funny you said that about live videos. I did a 30 day live video challenge over a year ago and got pretty comfortable with &quot;going live&quot;, but now not so much. I&#039;m back to being in that turtle shell. Maybe it is because my brand has changed and I&#039;m not as 100% confident as I once became. Imposter Syndrome? Or maybe it is just &quot;easier&quot; to retreat back to comfortabling hiding like the introvert I am. Thanks for the encouragement! Go TEAM BOLD!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Val,

I&#039;m on your team and I was late to the party, but since joining last week I have participated and ringing up a few points.  

So I am impressed with your goals.  I wish you luck in successfully completing them.   Starting a Facebook Group is one thing, but keeping it going and getting lots of members is another.    The Live series should be interesting and I like how you are going to use it as evergreen content.  

I will have to give your podcast a listen.  

Thanks for being the Teambold leader.     Go TEAM BOLD!
Make an Intentional Connection – Thanks to my podcast I&#039;ve been getting a stream of new contacts, but I haven&#039;t had to reach out to find them. I need to make a list and do some intentional connections.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hi Val,

I like the way you explained about if you keep waiting, others that are pushing themselves more will be heard more.

It is true what you said about the motivation you get from the group, that is what keeps me going too. The Triad I had was amazing and I learned a lot about myself and my business goals.

I like the way you have gone a little more in depth about video and FaceBook live. Those are super scary to me, but I pull my motivation to try because of folks like you that show it works if you work it.

Also, it is nice to know that the Stretch Yourself Challenge is available all year around at a discount and a do it at your own pace style.

That will help folks get a feel for and a base started for the next year&#039;s live challenge. 

Thank you Val!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Awesome to see you taking BIG LEAPS with the SYC challenge, Val. It was definitely a good excuse to finally break free from patterns of the same ol&#039; same ol&#039; and make strides in marketing our businesses. It&#039;s all too easy to think and assume things but when pushed outside of our comfort zones, we learn to see that we truly do have it in us. Am looking forward to hearing how your goals go this round!]]></description>

It&#039;s so true. People need what we have to offer. If we don&#039;t offer it and let them know, they will get it from someone else. Why not us? :)]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Val, I&#039;ve loved watching you rock each Stretch Yourself Challenge and how you take bold action to bust through the comfort zone and level up.  

At the beginning of the post you said &quot;You can keep on waiting, but others are pushing themselves more and will be heard more. More people will find them because they took big leaps&quot; and that&#039;s so true. 

It reminded me of something a smart friend (Kelly - go figure lol) once said:  
if not now, when? 
if not you, then who? 

Or something along those lines. It boils down to exactly what you said because if we&#039;re not putting ourselves out there NOW someone else is.]]></description>

Always have to look for something bigger to push ourselves. EEEK! Who knows what in the world that will be next year. 

I was definitely more methodical this year. Which is much easier when I&#039;ve completed almost all the challenges in years past. Then I can look at how to grab something and what would stretch me to complete it.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Val, you are an inspiration to others who are also working on the Stretch Yourself Challenge (like me). Your ongoing message to be bold, is certainly demonstrated in the actions you take to continue to grow personally and help others to stretch outside of their comfort zone. I like who YOU are, dammit!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I love your purposeful approach to choosing your challenges, and how you&#039;ve built on them from one year to the next. So much of what you say about comfort zones is so spot on - about it being scary to leave them. Of course when you stretch YOU, you&#039;re also stretching your comfort zone, and they never go back to where they were before. You now have a bigger comfort zone!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Wooohoooo! Love stretching with you! This year is a year to really reach for our dreams. I love doing this with you. I also love being on YOUR team! #TeamBOLD! 
There is such power in community. I love that not only do we have a month to do the things that we never really seem to get around to unless we are intentional to stretch ourselves OUT of the comfort zone, but we get to try things that we would have never tried without the feedback and ideas of others who have braved those steps. Thanks for taking us by the hand as we step out into those new areas. GO TEAM BOLD!]]></description>
