You may already know I won War Room's Wicked Smaht 5x in a row. But, here's a secret no one knows: I should never have been there in the first place if it wasn't for this gift.

It all started with my friend Calvin Correli. I brought him and his team to T&C because I thought it would be helpful to get our creative juices flowing.

He and I were roaming the exhibitor hall together and wandered past the War Room booth. For those of you who don't know, War Room was the longest-running and most successful marketing mastermind in history.

I mentioned to Calvin how much I had always dreamed of joining War Room. When he asked me why I hadn't, I made every excuse in the book: money, time, I wasn't ready, etc., etc.

The truth is, and this is painful to admit, I have some pretty severe self-worth issues, and I just never felt comfortable investing in myself - at least not to that degree. Calvin spotted that but let it go. We moved on, and I forgot all about it.

Fast forward a few years, I wasn't working with Calvin any more. I get a call from him: "Hey man, I have a surprise for you. I bought you a War Room membership." Y'all, War Room was $35k to join! Calvin just gave it to me. I was absolutely dumbstruck. Truly speechless.

It would prove to be a defining moment in my life. I met people I never would've met (including Steve Sims, who launched my speaking career). I seized opportunities I never would've had access to. And, hopefully, no one minds me saying, I was able to shine in ways I never would've been able to shine.

In fact, War Room is where I met Perry Belcher; my Wicked Smaht wins caught his attention and ultimately led to him asking me to be his partner in the Driven Mastermind (his follow-up to War Room). I believe Driven may prove to be the biggest professional opportunity I have ever been given.

And I wouldn't have had any of it if my friend Calvin hadn't done for me what I was too afraid to do for myself.

For those of you who are afraid to invest in yourselves: I hope you'll see me as a cautionary tale. If Calvin hadn't pushed me, I would have missed out on so much.

Please, go out on a limb and just DO IT! Put yourself in the room that makes you the most uncomfortable. There's nothing more powerful for growth than standing firmly outside of your comfort zone.

Hopefully, I can do for you what Calvin did for me and give you the little nudge you need to go for it. Tell me, what's holding you back?
