Now let's talk about your own limitations. So I understand that everyone has limitations. But what I want to show you that the mindset that you should have with your limitations is I can do its way through this suite that I would like to share with you a story. Five years ago when I gave my first speech, it was really, really interesting. Because six months before my first speech, I had never given a conference, I had never talked in front of more than five people. And what happened is that I had this crazy idea that I wanted to give a conference in Sydney.
So I live in Switzerland, and to go to Sydney, I have to fly for 24 hours. I had studied there. So I knew that to beat the market, and I knew that it would be interesting. And I start telling people around me, Hey, I have this idea. I want to give a conference. in Sydney, they said, Alan, it's not possible.
You are too young. You don't have enough experience. You don't know what you can talk about. You are You are failure. Like I had the old negative, that all this negativity around me. What did I, what did I do?
I didn't let the other people's limitations limits my potential. I just said, No, this is something that I want. I know why I wanted. So I'm going to do it. I didn't know if I would be able to succeed. I had no idea.
I just had this drive. I knew what they wanted. White was important to sit Okay, what is the first the first step? The first step is to find the date. So the date was my birthday. Then I have to find the room.
Okay, I booked a conference for and then I have to find the topic. Oh, I'm pretty good. about confidence in social tickets. This will be the topic. Now I have to find some clients. Okay.
I have no idea how to do but Let's figure it out. And then I started figuring out, so I went to Sydney. And it was the night of my birthday. I remember, I arrived in this conference room, and there were 35 people in that room who has failed to come and see me. And I'm like, wow, I thought I was in the wrong conference room. And at that moment, something happened.
I told myself that I would never ever again, let all the people's limitations limits my potential. Because sometimes you don't know the actions that you will take. You don't know if that will work or not. Most people who say that they won't work because they think that it cannot be done. If you are doing something crazy. If there is something beyond to dream big.
Most people will say you cannot do it. You don't have enough experience. You are too young, you are too old. You're too short. You're too whatever. Don't leave sent to them.
Just do it. I can do it. That's written here. I can do it. Try it. In life, we don't really know if the actions that you are taking will get the results that we want.
I had no idea. But when I was booking this conference room, if people would show them show show up, I had no idea. It was really stressful for me. I remember I cried. I was really angry, like, Oh my god, I'm, it's completely crazy what I'm doing. I had really, I was being really emotional about that.
But I focused on what on what I wanted. I focus on why I wanted and I believed in myself, I believe that I could do it. And this is the key here. You may have limitations. You may be saying right now, you cannot do it because you don't have enough experience or any other excuse. I would like you just to take this excuse.
To really visualize this excuse. You open the window and then you throw it away. That's it. That's my advice. You want to remove Your limitations, you have to stop with the bullshit that you tell yourself about why you won't accomplish anything in life. Stop telling yourself the bullshit about why you won't succeed in life.
And I'm really serious when I'm being intense with you. Because if you're watching this video, you have limitation. Stop with them. It starts with a decision that you are taking right now. I would like you to give yourself permission to act for what you want in life, to really say I can do it, I will accomplish whatever I want in my life, and I won't let other people's limitations impact my life. So we can see here that I really want the best for you.
I really want you to have a happy life fulfilled with people that you love and create an extraordinary life for yourself and for people that you love. That's why it's really important to know that most people would say that you cannot do something. It's because they have not done it. They think they can they can't do it all They don't want you to succeed because they're jealous. Or maybe they love you and they don't want you to live an amazing lifestyle because then you want to be near them. That's also an option or any other reason.
But at the end, it's your life. It's your life. These are things that you want to do, and you must be able to do them. Okay, so I hope that this example here of me giving the conference in Sydney has inspired you to remove the limitations to think about what your limitations are, and to say, Oh, no, I'm not going to let these limitations limit my potential. I can do it.
