Your Coconut Bra Moment

Your coconut bra moment! As part of the fundraising for Dancing CEOs, I held a luau at Hideaway here on the Gold Coast. And my goal for this event was to raise $20,000 for the charity. We were having the best afternoon, the sun was shining, the margaritas were flowing but with 10 minutes left to go, we were still $4,000 short of our fundraising target. Aghh.... And then I remembered that I had brought along this me, a little plastic coconut bra, as a joke. It's tiny and well....I'm not but I thought 'Let's do this!' I was terrified by the prospect but also excited. Could I actually do this in front of 150 people? Yes, remember go big or go home! I told the crowd that if they raised $4,000 in 10 minutes, I would come out dancing in the coconut bra. You can guess what happened, right? Of course, we raised the money and I proceeded to dance out to the crowd in the coconut bra, maracas shaking, to cheers and laughter! So, why do we sometimes stop ourselves from going big and taking a risk? Sometimes it’s fear of judgement; what others will think of us. When you feel this way, it's important to remind yourself of: Who are you and what you stand for. Your personal values – what gives you meaning and motivation. Why are you doing this and the purpose behind it. When you answer these questions, if it feels right, (albeit a little risky) then jump in and do it! Say yes. Is there something that you're thinking about doing but you’re holding back? Maybe it's a conversation you want to have; a new business idea; study you want to commit to; reaching out to a new client or a potential collaboration. What will be your next coconut bra moment? Happy Listening and THANK GOD IT'S MONDAY. Midja x ............
