Hey, Goal Digger. Welcome back to another episode. This is Kimberly, and I'm super excited to share with you my journey to my first Ted Talk, and what I learned in the experience, but also just some thoughts around it. And lot of you asked me and messaged me so I thought that'd be really cool to share that with you. First, a listener review comes from Lauren Martens. Lauren says "I'm a total fan girl of Kim! She's overcome so much and shared knowledge for FREE that will get your business growing and making money! Thanks so much for helping me overcome my anxiety of getting out of my comfort zone and kicking some booty". I love it, Lauren. That's awesome.

So the Tedx Talk, When I did my vision, I updated my vision board last year. So not 2020, about 2019, I made a vision wall actually. So the way my office was, I had paper roll all the way along the whole back was like a brick wall. Some of you probably recall that brick wall. And I used half of it to make a vision wall because- a vision board, because why not? Right. There's so much space. So I was grabbing images, printing things off, and one of them was a Ted Talk. So I cut my face out and put it on the person that was standing on the stage. And I remember when I did it, I thought, well, I don't know. It was just this feeling like I had to be this like professor at a University or a lawyer.

I don't know. There's just this feeling around it. Like, it was very like out of my reach, but just like what are vision boards for? You still should put stuff on there that you don't know how you don't know when, but it's just a goal, a dream that you have. So I put it on there. Well, when I was talking to my friend, Christina Whiteley, she said she could connect me with some people that that's what they do.
