watched every deadline on my task list turn red last week, before abandoning it entirely as I got ready to speak at Amy Porterfieldâs annual event, The Entrepreneur Experience. [a screenshot of Amy Porterfield on the left and Tarzan Kay on the right]( âI know youâll be the best speaker at the event,â Amy told me at soundcheck on Monday. Wincing, I assured her that I would do my best. I felt so unprepared. After five sessions with my speaking coach Keri Yang, I hadnât done so much as a single dry run. If youâd have asked me what the talk was about, Iâd have fumbled. âUmm, I guess itâs about how email marketing is really about building relationships, but the most important one is your relationship with yourself. Thatâs where the best emails come from.â Fumbly, you see? I was still wrapping my head around the idea. My first dry run was a total mess. It was Tuesday and my presentation was less than 48 hours away. My slides werenât ready. My office was poorly lit, unhung pictures and half-empty boxes all over the floor. At least no oneâs going to hashtag me #bossbabe. [Tarzan's setup in her office]( Virtual events donât normally stress me out. But itâs rare that a virtual event has the potential to bring in $100k+ in new business over the next year, as this one does. Itâs happened before. Feeling stupidly pressed for time, missed deadlines were swirling in my head, I still took 15 minutes to pop into my mastermind call with Kate Northrup and vent about my lack of preparedness. âAmy thinks Iâm going to be the best,â I wailed. âIâll be lucky to make it through the talk without crying.â âEasy there,â they reminded me. âRemember what you did in Texas? Instead of doing a hot seat, you had us all spellbound with your stories. Youâre already prepared for this. âLess preparation, more presence,â as adrienne maree brown says. Youâve got this.â Oh yeah, I remembered. Iâm kind of good at this. I could feel my body tumbling back into itself. Maybe I would be okay. The power was out when I got home from my loverâs house on Thursday morning. I made a decision to stay in my body, run the talk just one time on my laptop, and cross my fingers it would come back on in time. An hour before it was my time to speak, the lights in my office flicked back on, and before I knew it I was recapping my teaching points and delivering that last few lines of my talk. Iâm not sure it was the best, but it was absolutely the best I could do. I was honest. I shared about divorce and my house full of empty rooms. I only cried once, and I pulled myself together right away. My team pulled screenshots, so I knew that they were crying with me, along with many of the participants. [Screengrabs from IG stories about Tarzan's talk saying how amazing she was and how they were crying with her]( Delivering this talk was a gift to myself, just like my coach Keri wanted it to be. I felt the full weight of how far Iâve come, and how much strength and determination it took to get here. Iâm still here. Still signing paychecks, still writing emails, still pouring my guts into it, even on days when I canât / donât want to / feel like I shouldnât have to. I hope you know how much I appreciate your time and attention. Youâre the reason I get to do this, {NAME}. You, and the other twenty-thousand-or-so subscribers whoâve come and gone from my email list in the last 12 months. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Iâll keep writing them as long as you keep reading them. xo,
