I recently had to do a presentation in front of all of the other hosts in one of our team meetings….. ME! Talking in front of Mary Beth Roe and Rick Domeier and Jane Treacy ….. all of them really ….my heros! The ones I watched for years and years and bought and bought and bought from! To try to help me be less nervous – I shared with them my secret motivational board. When I first came here to QVC it was like a dream come true…. I kept asking people to pinch me and wake me up! 
I was so star struck meeting my idols that I asked them all to sign autographed photos to me – since I was convinced that I wouldn’t last the week! LOL After a few months, I thought “OK … maybe I can do this” . But those photos and personal notes from each and every one of those kind people – some of who are no longer here at QVC – meant more to me than they can ever know.
So, now all the photos live on a huge poster in my room and when I think I just am not good enough, or am not doing my job well enough – I look at my board and at all of their kind words… and I am READY TO ROCK! :D
How did I do on my presentation you may ask? Well, I didn’t faint or cry or anything like that but my boss said he could see my hand shaking from across the room. (that wasn’t all that was shaking! 
) And true to form, all of my fellow hosts congratulated me and told me how great I did and, generally raised me up and made me feel like a MILLION BUCKS!! I couldn’t be more blessed to do a job that I ADORE with people that are so caring, supportive – and most of all an ABSOLUTE BLAST to be around!
My wish for you all is that you have someone or a group of someones in your life that lift you up like that!
