Shaky hands, tight chests, and green lights

A few months ago, I tried something that felt weirdly uncomfortable.

Not unsafe.
Not risky.
Just… off.

It was new. Slightly embarrassing. Public.

I felt it in my chest… that quiet tension of:

And for a moment, I hesitated.

Because that’s what we’ve been trained to do, right?

But what if that’s wrong?

What if fear is sometimes… the green light?

Not always.

But more often than we admit.

Because here’s the thing:

That’s what I’ve learned, not from books.

From reps.

The first time I posted something personal.
The first time I launched an offer without a funnel.
The first time I led something I didn’t feel “ready” for.
The first time I asked for the thing that made my voice shake.

Every time, I felt the fear.

And every time, the fear was wrong about the risk.

So now?

I still get scared.

But I don’t back away.

Instead, I ask:

If it’s protecting me, great. I listen.

But if it’s stretching me?

I go.

Here’s the shift:

Let it feel big.

Let it feel shaky.

Then step in anyway.

To your growth,
Vikko
