I’ve been meaning to take Oli, my eldest, to a new activity to help with his confidence.
He’s a shy boy bless him.
Like I was until I made myself change.
I bumped into Giles from GKR Karate at his display at Tesco the Saturday before last.
And I put me and ‘The Big O’ down for a taster session on the Wednesday.
I told him on the Sunday and Izzie’s Birthday Party and he wasn’t keen.
I asked his mum to work on him.
But when I spoke to him on the phone on the Tuesday, his first words were “I’m not going to Karate”.
When I picked him up on from school on the Wednesday he still wasn’t up for it, but I managed to persuade him to go and, at least, watch.
He was clearly nervous and didn’t know what to expect.
I told him in the car journey on the way back about how “Daddy started Kung Fu when he was 5 and was very nervous before starting as I didn’t know who was going to be there or what was going to happen. But – do you know what? When I went and tried it, I really enjoyed it”.
Bit like how I tell you guys these stories really 😉
I managed to get him there and, once we’d got over the first 5 minutes, he loved it.
He was blasting out roundhouses and backfists like there was no tomorrow.
And he’s enthusiastic about going back tonight 🙂

I heard a great phrase in one of the podcasts I listen to the other day (BTW – all these articles are available on podcast by searching for RISE in your podcast player or through YouTube here).
It was ‘Confidence only comes after the action’.
If you wait to do something that you’re feeling nervous about until you’re ‘confident’ or ‘ready’.
Then you’ll be waiting forever.
You can only get confident by giving it a go.
Whether you’re an existing ninja looking to try some new recipes, or batch cooking, or one of our more advanced programmes.
Or if you’re thinking about the April risk free trial for the Group Transformation Programme that opens for applications this Friday.
Then you just need to ‘do it’.
You’ll never be more ready than you are now.
Much love,
Jon ‘Just Do It’ Hall and Matt ‘Impossible Is Nothing’ Nicholson
P.S. Tomorrow I’m going to share with you how much it cost me to live my dream. Hopefully it may help other question what they are prioritising.
