Every fortnight I run a Live Webinar to do with one key topic of Marketing and Entrepreneurship. They are normally run on Monday evenings at 7PM Sydney time and if you know me especially in the real world; I am a morning guy.
When evenings hit, I tend to really slow down. I try and balance it out by getting lots of rest on the day if know I am running events in the evening (however it’s just not always possible).
Because of this tricky reality, I realised that at times I need to ‘slightly cheat’ to get the edge. Would you like to know my secret weapon? The alien technology that peps me up and gives me the edge? The advanced hidden files?
It’s chocolate. And not just ordinary chocolate.
It’s the REALLY GOOD STUFF from Aldi Supermarkets. What I have found is that if I eat a little bit (not too much) of chocolate before a webinar I just fly. I am pepped up, I feel great and I keep up the energy for the tight 45 minutes of non-stop Marketing action.
This has become now part of my standard procedure where I eat chocolate before big performances. Be it I was up before 400 people a few weeks ago with NSW Business Chamber, having to entertain a difficult crowd, energise people or the like; I use it as need be to get the edge.
In speaking to successful people in the know too, I have found that everyone has their own different tricks. Be it an energy drink, coffee, tea, chocolate or even some kind of weird herb (which I think is legal), it’s their own thing to get them in the zone.
My advice and thinking? When you have something big going down, make sure you rest up as much as you can. Tragically this is not always possible which is why you need your little tricks.
A *little bit* of chocolate does me. It may work for you, but if not – find what does and DO IT.
Love your work, thank you for the read and stay awesome friends!
