How to Tackle your life with Shyness


Growing up i was this kid that had some friends but not alot. i was this kid that didnt really fit in anywhere. I was this kid that wanted to change.

Last year, I took that change. I searched for someone that done something simliar and took action (well sort of). If your someone like me, making changes to your personality isn’t easy, Although i do invite change.

Watching Mentors for around 6 Months before i actaully decided to do something and take some action, I was this kid that would never leave his room. A kid so scared of being social, i could go to a shopping outlet without being paranoid by judgement.

Hell, I would sit in my car in the carpark of a gym for atleast 5–10mins before i could even walk in. My head was full of judgement and thoughts from others.

Last year, I packed my Bags. Booked a trip overseas alone, Screw it. Time to concor this shit.

Done everything that forced me to talk to people, Forced me to talk to complete strangers. Walk down dangerous streets, exlpore new places.

This experience completly changed the way i thought of life, I booked another trip for early this year. stayed with complete strangers, Stayed in Backpacker Hostels. I met so many amazing people, All because i forced myself to speak.

I then started driving for Uber, just so i could speak to random strangers and have a convocation, Have been and continue to go to Public Speaking workshops.

And now i took a massive step and quit my Day job to tackle my dreams.

Loved my story? I would love the opportunity to speak at your Event!
