This is the day you stop playing small. The day you stop asking, "What if it doesn't work?" and start asking, "Why not me?" Leadership requires courage—courage to ask, courage to stretch, courage to be uncomfortable. Wednesday is your permission slip to take the leap you've been talking yourself out of.
Write it down. Not what you think you should do. What you would do if fear wasn't part of the equation. That's your real answer.
Not reckless. Calculated. Do the thing that makes your stomach turn but your intuition says yes. Send the pitch. Make the ask. Take the meeting.
The one you've been avoiding. With your partner. Your team. Your client. Clarity requires courage. Wednesday is the day you find yours.
Ask for the raise. The investment. The partnership. The promotion. The worst they can say is no. The best they can say changes everything.
What story are you telling yourself that's holding you back? "I'm not ready." "It's too late." "People like me don't do that." Challenge it. Rewrite it.
Cold-calling the White House changed everything for me. Most people would have thought, "That's crazy. That's not how things work." But I thought: Why not? Why not me? Why not now?
It led to meetings with staffers, congressional leaders, and eventually major momentum toward the OTC diagnostics initiative. Boldness opens doors that fear keeps closed.
That's when I learned: The worst they can say is no. But if they say yes? Everything changes. Wednesday is the day I choose boldness. Every single time.
Where am I stuck in "what if" instead of "why not"?
What's the worst that could happen if I take this risk?
Who do I need to speak honestly with?
What bold move have I been delaying?
If failure wasn't an option, what would I do today?
"Why not me? Why not now?"
