Episode 248: What If It All Goes Right? Stop Talking Yourself Out of Trying with Darrin Johnson

You’ve thought about everything that could go wrong. Have you given the other possibility the same attention?

Maybe you want to ask for a bigger opportunity, go back to school, reconnect with someone, or finally start something that matters to you. But before you’ve tried, you’ve already decided how it will turn out.

What if you’re treating a prediction like a decision?

In this solo episode of I Dare You, I’m challenging you to look at what you expect—and how that expectation might be affecting what you do next.

In this episode, we’ll explore:

• How expecting rejection can change the way you ask—or keep you from asking at all.
• The difference between picturing success and preparing for it.
• How to reverse engineer something you want into a step you can take today.
• Why thinking about who your dream could help can give you another reason to begin.
• What to do when the answer is no, your schedule gets crowded, or you miss the appointment you made with yourself.

You don’t have to wait until you feel fearless. Give yourself a chance to find out.
