A Big Fish In A Small Pond // MidDay Motivation
Are you the biggest fish in a small pond? Here's the truth, it feels really good to be the person in the room that knows everything and has the most experience. BUT where do you go from there? On today's MidDay Motivation, I want to speak about what it's like growing into a new space and why you need to be willing to grow.
After seven years of being a videographer in the wedding industry, I kind of reached this wall where I realized, I'm a big fish in a small pond. As we started to step into creating YouTube content, podcasting, I felt like I was starting at zero again. I had no idea what to do. I was completely lost. To be honest, I forgot how hard it was to start something at zero. I went from being a big fish in a small pond to being a small fish in a big pond.
The beauty of that is there's a huge opportunity for learning and growth!
Getting around people or fish for lack of better examples, that are bigger than us and better than us can be so beneficial! They've accomplished more than us, lived longer than us, and maybe have wisdom in an area that we don't have. We grow by being around people. You realize that things aren't quite as scary as you thought, when you go to write that book, start the business, or jumpstart that next idea, you begin to take those steps into those areas.
We want to be in a place where we are willing to grow and can progress as a human, as a creator, as an artist. To say, I'm willing to not be the biggest so I can learn from others and progress at my own pace.
"As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend." Proverbs 27:17
