Have you ever needed to take that first step, make that first call and you can't seem to get going on it? Perhaps you've made a list of who you want to call, written down what you want to say, rehearsed, and then you hesitated. You sat there imagining what could go wrong, how you might be rejected, how all of this would make you feel. And then you decided you needed more time so you put off the call until later. You told yourself that you would be more confident and more prepared later. But when later came you still did't feel ready.
The key to making a move is to jump in and do it. If call does not go well, learn from it. If you mess up and say the wrong things, learn from that. If the call is a success, great. Any way it turns out know that making the call, taking the chance, was better than not doing it. You will come out the other side smarter and more informed than you went in. You will figure out what works and what does not, and use that information to craft your future calls for success. How do I know this? I've been there in the hesitation zone! And now I am in the "make a move" zone. Feeling the fear but doing it anyway and learning as I go.
